Hello everyone, I've been a fan of the turbo commander aircraft from long time ago and i was surprised to find out a nice model here in simviation which is the file fsx rockwell veneaviones ac690; i have installed right away in my fsx simulator and it looks just great, but there is an altimeter missing gauge in both the vc and 2d panel.
Could some one help me out here? As I'm still grounded without being able to enjoy it properly. I believe that there is an error on the panel

Hi there. From a quick peek at the Panel.cfg file in Notepad the missing gauge is named Cessna208

[size=14][font=Times New Roman][Window00]
file=AC690BPnl.bmp
size_mm=1024
window_size_ratio=1.000

You can use the FSX default C208B altimeter instead.

First open the Panel folder of the default C208B. Find Cessna208B_XML.cab & paste a copy of it into your FSX\Gauges folder.

Now open Panel.cfg of the Rockwell Commander in Notepad. Change this line

gauge07=Cessna208!Altimeter,  433,391,84,82

to

gauge07=Cessna208B_XML!Altimeter,  433,391,84,82

Scroll down & find the gauge in the VC entries & change them in the same way. Note there are two VC altimeter entries.

Save changes when finished.
