Resolving Disappearing GPS and Radio Panel Issue

I understand you're facing an issue where your GPS and radio panels are not properly displaying in FSX and FSX-SE. This is a common concern among flight simulation enthusiasts. Let's explore some potential solutions to address this.

1. Verify Integrity of Game Files: If using FSX-SE, consider verifying the integrity of game files through Steam. This can help fix missing or corrupted files.
2. Run as Administrator: Ensure FSX runs with administrator privileges. Right-click on the FSX shortcut and select "Run as administrator".
3. Check for Conflicting Add-ons: Disable recent add-ons to identify any conflicts.
4. Update or Reinstall Drivers: Update or reinstall drivers for any dedicated hardware like radio panels.
5. Reset FSX Settings: Resetting FSX to default settings can sometimes resolve display issues.
6. Graphics Settings: Adjusting graphics settings within FSX could provide a solution.
7. Windows Compatibility Mode: Running FSX in compatibility mode for an earlier Windows version might help.
8. FSX Configuration File: Renaming or deleting the fsx.cfg file can sometimes fix glitches, as it will be recreated upon restart.

Remember, solutions may vary based on your specific system and software setup. If these steps don’t resolve the issue, consider seeking advice on dedicated forums or from fellow enthusiasts.

Always ensure your system meets the requirements for FSX and any add-ons you use. Compatibility is crucial for smooth simulation.
