ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
It is impossible to pop out the GNS 530 / 430 GPS Avionics in the Cessna 172 Basic variant. Using the right ALT key with the mouse over any of the avionics screens does not show a + sign indicating the panel can be popped out.
I cannot manually pop out the GNS 530 or the 430 and when tested the Pop Out Manager addon is also unable to pop out panels on this aircraft variant.
Panel pop outs are working fine on the Cessna 172 G1000 variant and the PFD and MFD screens can be popped out. In addition the GNS 530 pop out is working on the DHC 2 Beaver.
This issue appears to be a bug specific to the Cessna 172 Classic analog gauge variant…
If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue:
Cessna 172 Classic (Basic) Variant. Mixed (analog and digital instruments)
[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
Yes. All addons removed
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
Every Time.
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
1.Load the Cessna 172 “Basic” variant into a parking location
2.enter the cockpit view.
3.Mouse over GNS530 and GNS430 GPS units and while holding down the right ALT key the + sign is not visible. Clicking with the mouse while holding down right ALT will NOT pop out the GNS unit panels.
Since manually popping out any of the avionics panels in this aircraft is not possible the Pop Out Panel Manager addon for MSFS 2024 is also unable to pop out any panels for this aircraft. The addon works with the other aircraft previously mentioned.
