After having pulled my hair out over two years ago, and not doing any further development on my aircraft, I just revisited the question of getting some instruments into the aircraft when run in FSX instead of FS9. I converted the graphics way back then, but never was able to find my way around those cab files to see what instruments are packaged with FSX, and thus have blank instrument panels with the exception of the GPS and Radio stack. Now I just spent the whole morning and last evening reading though online tutorials and still can't get any instruments to show up in my aircraft in FSX??? So the question is - "what is wrong with these lines?"
