Well now I have gone and done it!

I have lost all or most of the guages, GPS and radios in all of the aircraft and that includes when I bring up the default flight.

Anyone got any ideas how to reinstall them or is there something that should be turned on with add-on scenery?

I have no idea what you've gone & done now. Adding scenery should have no effect on the aircraft whatsoever. ::) ???

PS. You most likely deleted some of the default gauges. The later "XML gauges" are in CAB format & might look like zipfiles. If this is the case you can retrieve them from FS2004 CD-1.

Just to confuse things the gauges are in a CAB file on the CD. This is named msgame3.cab. This is similar to a zipfile & you can extract the complete thing to a Temp folder on your HD in the usual way. Then look for the included Gauges folder. You can paste the complete contents of this folder into FS9\Gauges if you wish.

PS. These are the default XML gauges in msgame3.cab. They look like zipfiles on my system as I have WinZip installed. Do NOT extract them but paste them directly to FS9\Gauges.

This is what CAB files look like if you don't have WinZip.
