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.

Special Server Maintenance
Just when you think you have everything running some what better...
You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.
- November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.
If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.
To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.
Thank you for your support.

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:
//--------------------------------------------------------
[Window03]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=155,290
window_size_ratio=1.000
position=3
visible=1
ident=99
window_size= 0.180, 0.480
window_pos= 0.000, 0.500

gauge00=RFN_CarrierGauge32!Close_subpanel, 0,2,18,18
gauge01=RFN_CarrierGauge32!Aircraft_Carrier_Indicator, 0,0,155,195
gauge02=RFN_CarrierGauge32!Radio_TACAN_ARN52B, 0,222,155,68

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!
