I noticed that in some planes the RFN gauge won't show? There's only a short flash and then nothing. I can't explain this. The panel.cfg seems okay. Older planes, early FSX and FS9 have this phenomenon.

I have found that in the past, as you said, with older aircrafts. I don't know why either. I had it happen in Milt Shupe and teams G7 S2F package in some of them but not all. it is perhaps an FSX anomaly. Did you enter the information directly into the panel.cfg with notepad or notepad++ or use FS Panel Studio. I always used FSPS in the past. This time I added it to Dino's C2 Greyhound in Prepar3D V4.5 with Notepad++ with the latest version of RFN it worked perfectly. I guess, just try again.

Hello,
- Check that you have these lines in the panel.cfg file, In the section: [Vcockpit01]
//-------------Gauge Carrier Operations Nav2---------------
gauge40=RFN_CarrierGauge32!TACAN_Navigation, 0,0,100,,Nav2
gauge41=RFN_CarrierGauge32!CustomCatapult, 0,0,20,20
gauge42=RFN_CarrierGauge32!Approach_Ctrl, 0,0,20,20
gauge43=DSD_Sound_Gauge!Sound, 0,0,10
And obviously 2D window:
//--------------------------------------------------------

size_mm=155,290
window_size_ratio=1.000
position=3

Alain,
I have that, but I use the 64- bits version as I'm operating under Win11. Could that do the trick? Changing to 32-bits?
Cees
Tried it and reverting to 32-bit solved it.

It seems to me that every time Microsoft tries to improve things they only muck them up for us flight simmers especially FSX. Glad you got it fixed.Tried it and reverting to 32-bit solved it.

That is correct. The 64-bit version didn't come out until Prepar3D v4.
Cees,
-Ah but yes, FSX is a 32 -bit system, so a gauge in 64 bit will not be read!
Glad it all ends well!
