Hi Stefan
Well the readme says to copy the three files, aircraft,effects,gauges to the main root folder of FS9.
I did that and no gauges. put the file inside of the gauges file into gauges ,no g

pened the contents of the panel folder ,which except for the folder named KeDI are all XML gauges . still no good.
I thought maybe something happened to the download on the disk ,so I redownloaded from FlightSim and it's the exact same file XML gauges and all.( I oridginally got the download from Classic Wings which no longer has it.)
My system is high end (I had it built for me) and my FS9 install is outside program files on the C drive, with me running as administrator and UAC turned off for all downloads.
I have already put back around 400 planes and twenty scenerys.I can live without this plane if it's too complex to get the gauges to show.I've had a few problems but nothing I couldn't get around,although when I put in the Hindinburg and Graf Zepplinn ,I couldn't get the panels to look like the ones in the screen shots,they are simpler and don't have the gauges and switches that the screenis show.
I wonder if there is a relationship between the two?Oh I'am running Windows 7 Home Premium and it runs FS9 as smooth as slik, with all sliders maxed out. I have a NavidiaCard and Intel core 5 with a 4 core system with out assiging FS9 to run on one core, it still runs great in Windows mode ,on your advice because my GPS screen was flashing,and going from full screen to windows mode fixed that
I can now even run without shutting down backround programs . As the guy who built it for me said ,it smokes.
Anyway thanks for your reply ,hope your having a good New Year so far, and thankyou for being there for me in the past.
