Hi all i was in fs9 today and went to fly the default 737-400 and there are no panels in the 2d or virtual cotpit, they were fine yeaterday and i have not added anything to my comp or the sim.

how do i get them back ?

Where have they gone, this is the only plane it has happened to.

many thanks

In cockpit view, press 'W'. This should cycle through full panel, minimal instruments and no panel. Not sure about loosing the VC as well though, it's part of the model so should be there at all times.

sorry did not explain that well, i have the panels and the vc but no guages are coming up

do i just have a grey panel

Go into the FS9\aircraft folder, enter the folder of the default 737 (can't remember what it was right now) and look inside the Panel folder.

There you should find a number of .BMP files and the panel.cfg file. If you don't find them, it means that in some way they went lost (if you don't have no idea of how, how can I), you can always get them from the installation CD's.

If you have the panel but are missing the gauges, check the main 'Gauges' folder for the '737-400.gau' file.

There are also 20+ '737-400.*.gau' files but the 737-400 panel calls the gauges from '737-400.gau'.

Gauges are on CD#2\MSGAME3.cab
