Try pressing Shift+2--That is an alternate way of bringing up the gps. Let me know if it works

Look in your gauges folder for this file: fs9gps.cab &/or FS9Garmin.cab

Yes, I have them both. I have extracted all files of them in Gauges folder, that's right?
The GPS started to doesn't appear more when i installed a 767 and a 777 from SMS Overland, it can have something in commun?

No, no, no...
If you un-CAB .CAB files, then they
must go into a folder with the
same name that the .CAB file had:
[code]
Volume in drive N is DATA
Volume Serial Number is 6C00-EFCA
Directory of N:\FSX\Gauges\fs9gps
01/01/2000

So are you saying that if you unzip a CAB file, that the cab no longer exists?
Not sure where he even got the idea to unpack them to start with. :-?
If the cab files still exist, then couldn't he just copy/paste those into the panel folder instead?

OK, cool. That's what I thought. Thanks for the clarification on that one.
