Alabeo Cessna 207 Skywagon Working great

[Wordpress 6]

Hello!

 

Let me first say that I love this product! It works great in my Piper Aztec in the VC. However, no matter what I try, I can't get it in the 207. I've read the configuration page and I'm doing everything correctly (I think).

Please help me out ASAP! I just bought this plane in FSE and ferrying it down will be a bummer with the default GPS.

Nevermind, I didn't set the panel to true, works great now!

Hi, can anyone help me out here? Despite an hour of tweaking and following instructions, I can't get my GPS to fit correctly. Any advice?

Nevermind, I found out the settings, I'll be sharing it with the config thread soon!

Disregard! https://prnt.sc/lvhfe4 Either I can't get it to fit on the screen without clipping or it doesn't fill the whole thing. The default GPS however in this specific plane clips a little as well.

I'm sorry for posting over and over again, but I've finally got it! If you try hard enough you can find a clickspot for the default, but it fills the screen correctly now! I found out it's a problem with the 207 GPS having weird dimensions. I made it though!
