Has anyone been able to add the freeware KLN90 GPS to the 727? I would like to add this to my panel but have a clickspot on the non functioning GPS unit in the virtual cockpit. Can anyone guide me on how to do this? especially the latter since I've never been good with clickspots.

I have installed the KLN90 and appears to work properly.

The click-spot in the virtual cabin is coded to toggle 'GPS_PANEL' that will open the GPS unit.

In the panel.cfg you would change: ident=18000 to ident=GPS_PANEL

The code below is for replacing the default GPS with the KLN90.
Note: the ';' character will deactivate each line. You can safely leave the original GPS line entries and then restore at a later time if you wish.


Code (][Window05):

Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=250,120 window_size_ratio=1.000 position=8 visible=0 ident=GPS_PANEL gauge00=kln90b!Kln90B,0,0,250,120 ;[Window05] ;size_mm=300,333 ;window_pos=0.175,0.453 ;background_color=0,0,0 ;visible=0 ;ident=GPS_PANEL ;gauge00=fs9gps!gps_500, 0,0,300,333

Thanks! I will give it a try. Will the KLN90 also work well with the L1011?

I haven't tried it yet, but I'll post my findings when I do  :)

The KLN90 works well with the L-1011 but I keep having CTD before I can finish a flight.

This is a known issue with much discussion about the problem on the developer's website.
