FOR SOME ODD REASON MY GPS DOESN'T SEEM TO WORK WITH DEFAULT AND ADD ON AC. EVEN AFTER CLICKING THE GPS ICON ON THE AC PANEL ANG PRESSING SHIFT+3 I DON'T GET ANYTHING. CAN ANYONE INORM ME ON WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM AND IF IT CAN BE FIXED. THANX!

1 Has it ever worked?  In other words when you press the GPS icon you should see one of the two Garmin GPSs.

2 The GPS gauge is, I think, a file called fs9gps.cab in the Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Gauges directory.  Is this file in that directory?

If gw post dont work. one time i installed a aircraft and i had the gps.DLL file changed

HMM SOUNDS LIKE THAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM, SINCE I DO INSTALL NEW AIRCRAFTS OFTEN. LET ME TAKE LOOK. THANKS FOR THE INPUT MEAN WHILE.

SEEMS LIKE THAT FILE IS NOT THERE. EA_KATL, WHEN YOU MEAN OVERIDE, DO YOU MEAN WITHIN THE FS9'S GAUGE FOLDER IN MAIN DIRECTORY OR IN EACH AC MODEL CONFIG?THANX.

Your install disk #2 put it in the cdrom drive and open it up dont run it.and look for a file on the install disk called gps_export.DLL.and copy it and put it in the modules folder in the sim files.

WELL IT SEEMS I FOUND THE PROBLEM AND HAVE FIXED IT AS WELL. APPARANTLY I WAS MISSING THE fs9gps.cab FILE AFTER ALL. SO I JUST WENT AHEAD AND COPY IT FROM THE CD. A MILLION THANX FOR YOUR HELP GW AND EA_KATL.

Great news! I know I probably use gps more than any other nav technique.

Hmmm, actually I've gone to the GNS530 for my GPS machine. I used the freeware one for awhile, then bought the one from SimFlyer sim software.
