...is no longer functioning.  I noticed that I could no longer pan charts in the g3000 and g5000 using the GTC touchpads a few weeks ago.

This was a great feature of the Garmin simulations in such aircraft as the TBM and Longitude and simulated the real unit's performance

I don't know if this is a glitch from an update or some other issue, but I sure miss the capability.  I've attempted to pan the charts with the joystick, but get no response.  The touchpad just goes dark and doesn't respond.

Has to be on your end. I used it just last week and it works.

Interesting - everything else functions properly - just not the touch pads.  It makes me think that there may be a driver issue?

But you should be seeing a display of pan and touch... were you seeing that before?  or is this current screen what was showing when you tried to pan?

This is not an image of the actual occurrence - I shot it after the touchpad failed to function and I backed out of touchpad access.

When it was working, I would press in on the Garmin joystick and the GTC screen displayed the pan & touch indication - it worked great.

Now, it just goes dim and doesn't respond.  I'm wondering if a driver update I made at about that time is causing the issue.  I see that nVidia came out with another driver since then, so I may give it a go and see if the issue is resolved.  I'll post back here within a couple of days on how it all went.

I updated to the latest nVidia driver and ran another test using the TBM/g3000.  No joy.

Pressing the joystick just dims the GTC display and no panning or pinch notations appear.

We believe you. It's just that it's only on your system. I suspect you have some kind of mod installed, maybe for the TBM or the G5000.

I just loaded her up to confim once more that it still works and nothing is broken, and yes: It still works and nothing is broken.

No, there have not been or have there been added any mods for the aircraft, g3000 or g5000.  The add-ons (Navigraph & Bijan seasons) are the same I've been using for years and were present when the Garmin units panning pads worked just fine.

The only changes I'm aware of have been required FS2020 updates and maybe one video driver update.

Thanks for the feedback - I just wanted to be sure that this was affecting only me.

Oh now we are getting somewhere.

I missed that you are on MS2020. (The tags on this site are easy to overlook). I'm on MS2024. So it working on my end does not necessarily mean it isn't somehow broken on MS2020. 

So it's better some MS2020 user steps in.

I was wondering about that - I have 2024 running but the amount of work it will take to transition (set up all of my control parameters, sceneries and aircraft) is going to be substantial, so I still do my daily flying with FS2020.

Just to verify if you are using LOCK or Legacy in Cockpit Interactions:
I use LEGACY.
