Hi All.
I am a newbie to Simviation and have a question for you guys.
I am using FSX and want to know if it is possible to assign a button to do the following:-
Show/hide GPS window and show/hide Radios.
I am using Saitek yoke, throttles, rudder pedals and instrument panel.
Any suggestions/help will be much appreciated.
Cheers.
Jack.

Not sure.....check in the FSX setings/controls/buttons menu Smiley
 

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Welcome Jack,

Yes you can. As Chuck said, goto Settings>Controls. On the 'Button and keys' tab, make the button assignment to the appropriate 'Panel window # (display/hide)' Event.

On most default aircraft the radio stack is 'Panel window 2' and the GPS is 'Panel window 3'.

However, many add-on aircraft do not assign the 'panel windows' in the same order as the default aircraft. This can result in different windows popping up when you press your 'radio' or 'gps' button. This can be 'fixed' by editing the  panel.cfg for the aircraft, to change the panel window order.
