Hello Marty,

Please can you let us know which GPS device you're trying to open, one of the default FSX ones, or a third-party add-on (from RealityXP or Flight1)?

If it's the latter, are you using the Aircraft Configurator to install it in the cockpit?

Thanks,
Nick

all of them. i have used the aircraft config program to select a gps panel. none of them work for me. including the default when i select the type of gps from the config program and click ok all it says is that it will be saved and ready the next time fsx is started and the window closes. there is no install window or pop up or anything

Okay, thanks for the added info. You can toggle whether the GPS is shown using the Shift 3 menu. (Click the text which says "NO GPS" near the centre of this panel.) Please bear in mind that for the third-party GPS options, you need to have purchased these gauges to install them.

Please check out the final section of the T-6 pilot's manual (p. 120 onwards) for description of these features.

Cheers,
