When I loed this ac up i get this message:

Flight Simulator was unable to load some aircraft or software. You can continue using Flight Simulator but this aircraft or software will be disabled.

File: GAUGES\A320.GAU

This comes up like 100 times then on the panel theres no gauges at all.

Does anyone know how to ix this?

pleeeeeeeeeeaase :unsure:

Has it always been like this? Have you tried a complete reinstall? Sounds like faulty or missing gauge files.

Yeah I reinstalled and registerd the gauge with fsuipc like it said to do, this never happend with my old pc hmm very annoying, I get a blank panel after I click the ok on the error massage for about 2mins lol :blink:

Jimmy I'm in rebuild mode and don't have the A318 to hand, but from memory:
Many of the Airbus panels rely on Eric Marciano's gauges.
These are great but fussy about how you install them, and may need a FSUIPC key. There are also patches essential for specific models of Airbus!
Perhaps you should back up a step or two, and re-read the readme that came with the panel.
Hope this helps.

Yeah it was a self installer that claims to have all the patches and stuff for the A320 panel in the A318.

I registerd the gauge with fsuipc and reinstalled the aerodesgns a318 3 times.
And in the panel readme that came with the package it says this in the FAQs section :

When I load an aircraft that uses one of your panel, I get a message saying that FS2002 can't load the gauge, and the panel appears almost empty. Why?

Answer
You get this because the gauge uses the module FSSound.dll, and this module was designed for FS2000. This is why it has to be declared as an old module for FS2002.
To do this, edit your FS2002.cfg file, and add the following lines:

[OldModules]
FSSound.dll=1

I did that too and it didnt have any effect. :blink:

Thanks again
James

Mmm last resort: go find a later version of the FSSound.dll file and drop it in the Modules folder. There are varius flavours of these, and I see yours is talking FS2000/FS2002 which may be too old for FS9.

yay thank you so much charl

It's working great now

.

yet now I run into anothor problem with eric's A330 panel this time, I installed the posky 330 with vc and i got the mulfunciton message in the eicas display and none of the gauges work.
So I got the 330 panel from eric's site and installed the fix for fs9, but the sam ething happedn again.

On the "faqs" section of the site theres a link to download a fix wich i suppose is what I need for it too work ,but the files no longer on the server :angry:

Theres one for both of his panels (330 +320) maby the aerodesigns pack had this update init since it claims to always have the most upto date version.

Does anyone have the fix for the A330 panel from the FAQs section of: http://emarciano.free.fr/
