How does one open the control unit for the carenado g1000. I've tried shift and control everything. Nothing opens the control unit. I cannot enter data for my flight plan, I cannot even set the autopilot vertical speed. I've tried using the mouse wheel and keyboard with no luck. How do you enter a flight plan or set the autopilot functions without a control unit.

I see you have the same issue I am currently having. Did you ever find a solution. I have noticed in other Carenado aircraft using the G1000 they have the pop up keypad and AP for data entry. Does not appear that way for the C172 SP. Let me know if you found a solution. Thank you.
