Shaun Fletcher 570 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Hello wehyam, Let me see if I can get the GPS to show up in the VC like you have. I'll be back after I have a look and post my findings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wehyam 0 Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 Hey ho Shauan.. I been thinking.. I havent 'upgraded' my system with the Service Pack 1. as I tend to leave unbroken things alone... (most EFATO occur after a major overhaul!) BUT maybe that could be something to do with it? What's involved in upgrading SP1? do you have to start right from square 1 with a clean install from the discs etc.. Is it worth doing? or have you got an answer? regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wehyam 0 Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 I've just noticed that the system requirement specifies XP ( SP2 ).. whats that ? OK .. Everything except the GPS works ... So do I risk disturbing things and at what cost of having to 'reinstall' stuff?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wehyam 0 Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 So.. total addon purge.. upgrade(!) SP1 and SP2.. download M.Kok's panel.. and its back to the same place.. so.. Half a GpS it is then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wehyam 0 Posted January 5, 2008 Author Share Posted January 5, 2008 So..Finally? Big gulp, first time for everything... edit the panel config file.. :? compared with the old and made the 'dimensions' bigger.. This fixed one thing!! could it be that easy.. The GPS is now there in its entirety and can be 'used'.. When I say used ... I mean clicking the buttons changes pages etc.. can data be input and 'saved' ? ??? BUT the 'bad' news it has no effect on the one in the cockpit.. OK maybe I can live with it. If the thing in the window actually works... Test flight later after taxiing the kids to their various activities.. too late for a vasectomy now. :cry: This maybe tedious to those that know the answer already but if might help someone else who 'knows a nothing' :?

Duckair 1 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 too late for a vasectomy now We sold ours for medical experiments. Got a DAB radio for the boy and a microwave for the girl. You get more if you sell them off an organ at a time but you end up with a couple of buckets of wobbly bits which even the cat won't eat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Fletcher 570 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Hello wehyam, It was greatly recommneded to install FSX SP1 into a clean install of FSX, some 3rd party products refuse to function correctly if SP1 was installed into FSX when other add-ons were still installed.

Duckair 1 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 You need to sell the idea a bit better. Explain how much more money you'll have to buy the things she wants, the house will be tidier, she won't have to worry about the type of friends they'll make at school. If she really misses children then she can get a job of driving a school bus. That way she can spend time with some but doesn't have the expense of actually supporting them.

Duckair 1 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I wouldn't say the wife is a lunatic. A bit quirky and unbalanced is more like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
