Hi all,
I just remarked that it looks impossible to move the GPS view of the MSFS Aerosoft DHC6 TwinOtter outside the main cockpit one like it was possible before with FSX and P3D.
I succeed with the default Cessna 172 skyhawk but it looks impossible with the actual release of the addon. To do so i use [ALT GR] (right SPACEBAR) then mouse over the GPS unit to have a + then left mouse click, the GPS window appears detached.
Do you experience the same ?
bye

Yes, this is the one issue that is making this a sub-standard addon for me. It is something I complained about during the beta and was told in no uncertain terms that they weren't going to do it, though I don't know why. My 'solution' has been to buy the TDS GTNxi 750 addon and use this instead. I have only had this for a couple of days but it seems like a worthy replacement. It runs on a touch screen and, most impressively, on an iPad running Spacedesk as an external screen. Don't be tempted to go for the PMS50 version of the GTN750, it will not work with a touch screen  |

With no possibility to detach the avionic views like on other sims are a real limitation for me. I build a GNS530 from a kit I it would be good to be able to continue using it under MSFS and not only P3D. Just to be 100% aligned with the common DHC6-300 avionic.
I understand the editor reason is "portability" their addon should be same between Windows or Xbox.
I tried to look in the panels settings to see if we can tweak them (like we were able in FSX or P3D) to enable the "undock view" or to replace with another externable GPS. But no 2D panel is available, it is locked.
I thought using my other Realsimgear GTN650 but i did not find any way to do in the DHC6.
The "TDS GTNxi 750 addon" looks great !! It looks like even it could replace the entire radiostack (i still did not achieved becasue of its building complexity). I'll give it a try.
Thanks for the guidance

Cool the "TDS GTNxi" is working in an outside view in total autonomy. Now it is just a matter to have a touch screen at the right place in my cockpit  I remark that : - there is replication with the GNS530 integrated in DHC6 - we cannot shutdown the GNS530 |

Fantastic !! Let's see  By now I am thinking in rebuilding the cockpit with the GTN750 and 650 powered with the TDS addon  It will result to something unseen between the 300 and 400 series. |

I confirm that now the last addon update, we can detach the GPS view with [ALTR GR] and mouse click while over it.
Very good.
I should be able to reuse my GNS530 kit with the AirManager script to send Arduino MEGA events then.
Bye
