November 15, 200817 yr I just purchased the Citation II and the pop up for the GPS and the Cabin pressure don't seem to work. I checked the Eaglesoft forum and there are no posts that address this issue. If you have this aircraft, do you have this problem? The instrument cluster pop up works fine, so I don't think it is a driver issue. I have a GTS 8800 512M card.Any help will be appreciated.Thanks i7-975 ext @ 4.0, Astek 120MM water cooler, ASUS P6T X58 MB, EVGA GTX 480 1.5 GB, 6GB Kingston Hyper X 1600 MHz, 2 128GB Kingston SSDs, 1 TB WD Black HD, CoolerMaster 1000W power supply, Cooler Master Storm Sniper case, TrackIR, Win 7 64 bit

November 15, 200817 yr Bob,I haven't experienced any problems with the popups. They all work ok.I too would recommend that you get help from the Eaglesoft bunch on their forum. They are really helpful over there. Good support.Jim
November 15, 200817 yr They both work fine here on Vista. Did you go through the allowed modules to run on install and miss allowing some? Possibly reinstalling would do it.
November 15, 200817 yr Thanks for your help. I'm on Vista also. The work just fine in the 2D panels, just not in the VC. I can tell they are active because the mouse pointer changes, but they just don't pop up when clicked. I'll try the reinstall and see if that works.I'm just glad to hear they work and that it is just a problem I'm having. i7-975 ext @ 4.0, Astek 120MM water cooler, ASUS P6T X58 MB, EVGA GTX 480 1.5 GB, 6GB Kingston Hyper X 1600 MHz, 2 128GB Kingston SSDs, 1 TB WD Black HD, CoolerMaster 1000W power supply, Cooler Master Storm Sniper case, TrackIR, Win 7 64 bit
November 15, 200817 yr I have the Citation II and use the VC exclusively. In order to get the popup panels I use the apprpriate keystrokes ie SHIFT 2 for GPS and SHIFT 7 for the pressure panel. I didn't even know that there were clickspots for them. So you could always try the keystroke method if all else fails.

November 15, 200817 yr I have the Citation II and window XP and have never been able to get the 2d GPS to pop-up by clicking the gps in the VC panel. Everything else seems to pop-up. I meant to ask about it on the Eaglesoft forum but never got around to it. After I installed ASX it messed with some of the shift "number" links in the CII, so I assumed that ASX was the culprit, but never pursued it.EDIT: I was mistaken. I just checked the Eaglesoft forum and I did ask the question back in May. This was their response:"The GPS installed is used in many other of our aircraft. The "GPS pop-up" mouse point is used in the others. I didn't provide one for this a/c"So being that the others who responded to this post are not having this problem, it must be our systems. Maybe a conflict with my ASX installation, maybe something else.Ted [email protected] ghz, Noctua C12P CPU air cooler, Asus Z77, 2 x 4gb DDR3 Corsair 2200 mhz cl 9, EVGA 1080ti, Sony 55" 900E TV 3840 x 2160, Windows 7-64, FSX, P3dv3, P3dv4
November 16, 200817 yr When I replied that I wasn't having any problem, I didn't know that the op was referring to vc. When I'm in vc mode they won't pop up either which is why I use the shift keys.Jim
November 17, 200817 yr Thanks for all your help. Since the popup isn't programmed in the VC of this product, I used FSUIPC to program a button on my yoke to activate the popup.I was just puzzled because, if you ran the mouse over the GPS, the pointer changed to a hand which usually indicates a hot spot for a popup. Obviously, that isn't the case with the Citation. i7-975 ext @ 4.0, Astek 120MM water cooler, ASUS P6T X58 MB, EVGA GTX 480 1.5 GB, 6GB Kingston Hyper X 1600 MHz, 2 128GB Kingston SSDs, 1 TB WD Black HD, CoolerMaster 1000W power supply, Cooler Master Storm Sniper case, TrackIR, Win 7 64 bit

Obviously, that isn't the case with the>Citation.The "internal popup command" used in the GPS530 calls for ident=225 which is the default number used by FS9/FSX for the GPS Popup, which makes it a universal "drop-in replacement" for the default G500 which comes with FS9/FSX.However, the existing simicon gauge used in the CII calls for ident=30. Since the updated gauges needed to work with existing v1.0 customers, I couldn't make changes to the internal ident # without adversely affecting existing installations. :)In any case, I'm glad you found a solution via FSUIPC, truly the "Swiss Army Knife" of all FS tools!

November 18, 200817 yr I'm sorry Bob, I thought you were clicking on the SIMICONS POPUP and that wasn't working but works ok here...my misunderstanding ;-)
November 18, 200817 yr Thanks for the explanation, Bill. I now understand why you were not able to program the pop-up. The FSUIPC solution works fine for me.Great plane, by the way. Haven't had much of a chance to fly it yet, but have really enjoyed the couple of flights I have taken.Nice to have a Biz Jet on par with your GA aircraft. The best out there in my opinion.Thanks. i7-975 ext @ 4.0, Astek 120MM water cooler, ASUS P6T X58 MB, EVGA GTX 480 1.5 GB, 6GB Kingston Hyper X 1600 MHz, 2 128GB Kingston SSDs, 1 TB WD Black HD, CoolerMaster 1000W power supply, Cooler Master Storm Sniper case, TrackIR, Win 7 64 bit
November 19, 200817 yr Author Nope, sorry...we've elected to stay away from that feature in our aircraft as most users say it's fine for about three flights then becomes and annoyance:-)
November 20, 200817 yr Personally I like the reflections as they prevent "empty hole window" feeling. Each to their own of course.
