A lot of payware companies include code into their products that prevents modification. I tried the same thing with their Twin Otter and met with the same results.

Hi

It is possible to add pop-up windows to the BeaverX, I did do a panel mod to add a 2D panel for some of the BeaverX flyers over at the Aerosoft Forum, in which the pop-ups are activated with a mouse click in both the 2D and VC views, if you look on the Aerosoft Forum in the Aircraft section and find a topic called Gps Beaver FSX you can see the first version of the mod, the latest version has pop-up for the GPS, Radio Stack and Engine gauges.

Let me know if this is the type of thing you are after, and we will sort out some way of sending the file.

Hi Shane

I take it you mean the 737-600 to 900 series, if so yes it can be done as fortunately I have the PMDG 737, although why you would want a GPS unit and a MFD is up to you, but it’s not a problem, and if it works this post SHOULD have a screen shot (I don’t have a lot of luck with screen shot posting), you would just have to let me know which variants you wanted the GPS in, as in do you fly with the VC versions, its not really a problem if you wanted them in all the versions, I would just need to know.

Anyway here goes with the screen shots.





I think that the above should work.

Hi Shane

Well I did not think that that was going to work, but on with the show.

It was easier to put the hidden click spots over the standby ADI, so that I could get both the 2D and VC click spots in the same location, and that was a gauge that does not have any other mouse click area near it.

If that is the result you are after, or you have got any suggestions / ideas about the mod, let me know and I will try my best to help.

As for getting the mod to you, I have no idea what the protocol is for adding files / attachments to posts (the pop up gauge controller cab file is all of 1kb and the rest is just additions to the panel.cfg files), but as you are one of the moderators, I’m sure that you will know the rules and regs.

Sounds good, and not a problem.  Sometimes the best advice for Payware products is to steer people to their support forums, as they are usually such specialized cases and not everyone has them. So no harm no foul there.

Hi Again

I thought that the screen shots would have the original file names on them, but hey I’m just glad I got them to work for me, so just to clarify the top shot of the BeaverX is the 2D panel mod, the lower one is the VC.

Thanks for all the replies jim, I'll give this a shot later, I've been extremely busy and haven't had time to play with it anymore but what you've done looks like what I was trying to do, just couldn't figure it out.  I'll hit you up later when I get a chance to play around with it.  Thanks for the help!!
