Hi All,

          I am having some trouble with the Milviz Turbo Otter in P3DV5. For some reason the buttons on the GPS in VC are not functioning. The rotary knobs work and I'm able to change NAV/COM freqs and change pages. Buttons like ENT, MENU, Direct to, CDI, OBS, FPL etc are not working. I just cant work it out. If I bring the windows shift+4 and shift+5 they are all working there. 

Here is my panel.cfg

Is there something wrong in one of these?

Many thanks,

                     Bully.

FWIW: I use the dual 430 config and my buttons only work in the 2D popup panel. But then I can't really see the 430's from the left seat to adjust them anyway so I always use the pop up when I need to make any changes. I can see the map display and CDI display well enough in the 3D VC just can't make any adjustments. It would be nice to at least be able to switch standby and active freqs in VC. I looked at your files and they are very similar settings to mine.

Hi bbuckly, 

                 Thanks for replying, yes I can use the pop up windows no issues. It’s a weird one, in the Beaver it all works fine.  Never mind, like you say it’s  quite awkward to hit the buttons in the VC cause it’s so far over to the right. So probably easier to use the pop up windows anyway! 

Hi,

I'm sorry for the delay. There could be multiple reasons for this but the first question would be did you retrofit the GNS in the panel or is this a preset option already included with the aircraft?

If the latter, this means there is something not right in the configuration of the aircraft and I can spot the RealityXP.GNS.ini file is an older format (you did miss the .GNS part or is the file really just RealityXP.ini in your drive?). Furthermore it doesn't seem to be configured to intercept the default stock GPS commands (UseSimGpsCmds = false) which simply indicates that even if the aircraft 3D bezel buttons in the cockpit are properly configured and are using the stock GPS commands, the GNS won't intercept them and therefore won't react (see p18 of the RXP GNS User's Manual)

In my case, the config was a preset that I tweaked. It is named RealityXP.GNS.ini but the UseSimGpsCmds = true line was missing completely from both units. I added and it works fine now. Thanks!
