Look great but their are no instruments/gauges in place - have the gauge templates but they are empty...........
Both installed files show panel but that's it..
Anybody have any suggestions please
Hello Barrington -
Look at your main FSX\Gauges folder, and see if there is a subfolder within it, also named Gauges and with a timestamp corresponding to the date you installed the plane.
If there is, that would mean the installer has placed the whole folder there, instead of the
contents of the folder.
Make a second install to a new folder outside FSX, and tell the installer to put it there - that will show you what file structure the installer creates, and you can see if anything is missing. (and makes it easy to see files that went to the wrong place).
Check the panel.cfg to see if the files being called by the cfg are correctly named, i.e. the names match the cab file name.
If the new plane is looking for gauges from default (or other) aircraft, are those aircraft in your FSX?
I have struck all of these faults over the years. I now use empty folders named Area0, Area1 and Area2 to 'assemble' new planes, before moving the final item to the Aircraft or Airplanes folder in the sim.
Hope this helps
