June 9, 20178 yr When I install the GNS, at the end I'm getting a message saying that Prepar3D v1 and v3 are installed in the same folder and that I have to correct the problem before I can proceed. However, there's no v1 on my system. I searched the registry for anything v1 related, as well as my hard drives, but nothing is found. What can I do to fix this? Cheers! Maarten
June 13, 20178 yr Commercial Member This is a current installer just recently downloaded? Ed Wilson Mindstar AviationMy Playland - I69
June 13, 20178 yr Commercial Member Ok, assuming you installed to the default location... go to this folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Mindstar\Tools In that folder is an app called SimSupporter.exe. Run that and it will have an initial screen that shows all sim version it believes you have installed. It will show you where the registry reports them being installed as well. If you see an entry for a sim you don't actually have, there is the source of the issue. Ed Wilson Mindstar AviationMy Playland - I69

June 16, 20178 yr Author This isnt my job. I have to see when I've got time, besides work, family, friends, etc, to spend on my sim. I managed to install properly, no more problems there, but when I get into the sim, I do have a working GNS in the VC, only the pop-up GNS has a black screen. The buttons on the pop-up do work for the VC GNS, though, it's only the screen from the pop-up that isnt working. Cheers! Maarten
June 16, 20178 yr Author Carenado Skymaster v2.1 I've had the GNS installed in the first version of this aircraft and I copied the panel.cfg with working GNS entries to the panel folder of the new version. Could this have possibly caused the problem? Cheers! Maarten

June 16, 20178 yr Commercial Member Ok, the problem is the entry for the GNS. We have a web page that explains how to retrofit these units into an aircraft's panel.cfg at http://www.mindstaraviation.com/GNS_Retrofit.html . The window ID value wasn't correct for the GNS popup (the window ID and the final number in the 5th parameter must match for the popup to render). I have corrected your panel.cfg and this should work ok. //********************************************************* // CARENADO C337 SKYMASTER FSX // Copyright © Carenado 2011 - All Rights Reserved //********************************************************* [Window Titles] Window00=GPS Window01=Manual Window02=Control Windows Window03=INFO //-------------------------------------------------------- [Window00] Background_color=85,80,80 size_mm=520,378 window_size_ratio=0.732 position=7 visible=1 ident=225 window_size= 0.362, 0.491 window_pos= 0.024, 0.481 zorder=15 gauge00=MPI_GNS!GNS530, 0, 0, 520, 378, 1:2:225 //gauge01=CCTTS!Toggle_GPS, 85,28,353,264 //-------------------------------------------------------- [Window01] Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=1000,1000 window_size_ratio=1.000 position=0 visible=0 ident=793 window_size= 0.440, 0.773 window_pos= 0.520, 0.040 zorder=0 gauge00=C337Manual!manual, 0,0,1000,1000 //-------------------------------------------------------- [Window02] Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=581,153 window_size_ratio=1.000 position=0 visible=0 ident=796 window_size= 0.321, 0.150 window_pos= 0.020, 0.170 zorder=5 gauge00=CCTTS!Control_windows, 0,0,581,153 //-------------------------------------------------------- [Window03] file=info.bmp size_mm=345,157 window_size_ratio=1.000 position=0 visible=1 ident=142 window_size= 0.161, 0.116 window_pos= 0.020, 0.040 //-------------------------------------------------------- [Vcockpit01] Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=512,512 visible=1 pixel_size=1024,1024 texture=$RadiosC337_N gauge00=RadioC337!RadioAudio, 0,0,292,65 gauge01=RadioC337!RadioCom2Nav2, 0,180,291,115 gauge02=RadioC337!RadioTrans, 0,370,300,74 gauge03=CCTTS!DME_screen, 0,68,268,108 gauge04=RadioC337!RadioAdf, 0,294,300,75 gauge05=CCTTS!GEM6, 297,0,214,211 //-------------------------------------------------------- [Vcockpit02] Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=256,256 visible=0 pixel_size=1024,1024 texture=$C340_GPS_N gauge00=MPI_GNS!GNS530, 6, -1, 250, 180, 1:1:-1 [Vcockpit03] Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=512,512 visible=1 pixel_size=1024,1024 texture=$RadiosC337_1 gauge00=RadioC337!RadioTrans, 0,370,300,74 gauge01=CC337!ALTqnh, 370,0,20,20 [Vcockpit04] Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=512,512 visible=1 pixel_size=1024,1024 texture=$RadiosC337 //gauge00=CCTTS!Toggle_GPS, 87,28,348,260 Day=255,255,255 Night=21,120,107 Luminous=200,200,101 [Default View] X=0 Y=0 SIZE_X=8192 SIZE_Y=3500 Ed Wilson Mindstar AviationMy Playland - I69
