Brief description of the issue:

Many gauge aircraft have a GPS switching mechanism.
That works fine (or will work fine with the upcoming new way from WT) but there is still an annoying issue when trying to pop out the visible instrument.
When it overlaps a hidden instrument that is in a previous order in the panel.cfg file, then the hidden instrument is popped out instead of the visible one.

Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered:

Choose an aircraft that has a GPS-switching mechanism. Ex Milviz C310, Analog king air, etc…
Install the PMS50 GTN750 in the community folder.
Go to the cockpit and try to pop out the currently displayed GPS (GTN750 or GNS530) for each switching option.
Following which one is displayed and the order in the panel.cfg, the wrong GPS is popped out.

Confirmed I am seeing this issue in the Milviz C310. With the 530/430 loadout selected I can pop out the GNS430 however attempting to pop out the GNS530 instead pops out the blank (hidden) GTN750 window.

Exactly as described by TiggerTaliz. G530 pop-out works normally with BB C310 SP1 beta version 1.1.7 and earlier.

I have it working now by reordering the panel.cfg. I posted details on the mv310r support forum if you want to check there.

I came across this but I found it’s not quite how you described it. If you click in the right spot when popping out you can get the correct unit. From memory I think it was in a area where the other invisible units are not. I save my pop out positions using pop out panel manager so once you find the right click spot it always pops out the unit you want.
I agree it needs fixing but this workaround will get you there for now without having to mess with .cfg files.

For sure but it depends of the instrument’s size and the order in the panel.cfg.
If the first instrument has a big screen you should be unable to pop out a smaller one that is entirely overlapped by the biggest one.
Hope Asobo will fix that soon.

I understand the general issue although I was specifically referencing the C310R.

This old issue has been fixed in the SU12 beta.
Thank you Asobo.
