I got two f-16 in my hanger
F-16 VIPER (Kirk Olsson/Bob Chilico)
ViperCOANG (Kirk Olsson/Danny Garnier)

The first one show an old 98 gauge.. Bf.Tupolev.Config
The second similar.. Toggle_Panel
When hitting close, they dont disapear next time i launch the ac.

I've been through some very deep searching on c and slave on every small files, even in registry, with no luck what so ever. None text of these shows in any files  Shocked Sad

Any of you have a clue on whats going on on my pc?

Many thanks in advance.

Both panel.cfg's have one FS98 gauge in each of them. Sometimes the gauge listed as being an FS98 gauge the name displayed is not the exact name of the gauge. I have seen this many times. If you would PM me and send the two panel.cfg's via e-mail once we connect via PM I will find the two gauges for you so you can either delete them or swap them for FSX gauges. I have one of the planes and have already fixed mine a long time ago. Bob.

Why keep a fix for a problem in private messages? It might help others to know.

Thank you very much BobF for your offer, but i must agree with Steve M. Hope you understand.

Those two bugs are well hidden inside a gauge/cab or xml file, and win7 search engine can't find anything with that "text" what so ever. XP could do it, but....... :o 8-)

bass. If you post links to where you got these files perhaps I can download them to check them out for you.

ViperCOANG (Kirk Olsson/Danny Garnier)

I've tried THIS ONE & it does not include any FS98 gauges. There is no gauge named Toggle_Panel listed in Panel.cfg

YES, and that is exactly my problem!
I've been over uninstalling/reinstalling those planes, but it keeps coming!!

This is the update of Olssons Viper

Sorry bass. I don't understand the problem. What keeps coming? I've tried several versions of the Olsson Viper in FSX & get no errors.


Not much help I'm afraid. Lots of F-16s on the last link. Can you give file names of the problem aircraft.

Ok, my problem is, every time i launch f-16 in fsx i get some keep up coming old f98 gauge.

1. USVIPER.zip updated with FSX F-16 Viper Update
http://www.simviation.com/fsxmilitary1.htm
i get the "Bf.Tupolev.config"! This gauge is not showing anywhere in panel aso, and cant be found.

2. ViperCOANG.zip
http://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1 ... ategoryId=
i get the "Toggle_panel"! This gauge is not showing anywhere in panel aso, and cant be found.

I just backed up those two ac and installed UsViperX.zip.
I got five old f98 gauges. I manage to close four of them, BUT still i get the "Bf.Tupolev.config" every time i launch the ac.....

Hope you understand me Hager and thanks a lot for looking into this ;)

Right. Let's take this in order.

1. USVIPER.zip updated with FSX F-16 Viper Update
http://www.simviation.com/fsxmilitary1.htm

Something odd here. Your link to the F-16 Viper Update takes me to this page. http://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=viper.zip
The only update by Bob Chicilo I can find there is a texture replacement for the original FS2002/4 version of the Viper. It doesn't seem to fit the file description.

2. ViperCOANG.zip
http://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1 ... ategoryId=
i get the "Toggle_panel"! This gauge is not showing anywhere in panel aso, and cant be found.

I checked that file out in my first reply in this thread. It's the complete aircraft & doesn't need any previous versions of the Viper installed. The panel uses only FSX-compatible gauges which are included in the zipfile. It works fine for me with no errors.

I just backed up those two ac and installed UsViperX.zip.

I can't find UsViperX.zip on Simviation. http://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1&keywords=UsViperX.zip&categoryId=&filename=Y

I can only assume you have other version(s) of the F-16 installed to FSX that are giving you the problem. Are you sure you're selecting the correct aircraft from the FSX Aircraft selection menu?

UsviperX is here
http://simviation.com/1/search?submit=1 ... p&x=9&y=15
or i hope it is (Sorry about the missing "_1".)

The link to the viper update is odd to me too.
The link i posted shows the update third last on the page, with a link to the ac requirred!

I have two f-16 installed, as mentioned, and i'm always carefull by selecting dl's to the right sim. Been doing this since fs98.

I've given up on this so many times that one time more wont hurt. But, if bying the Abacus f-16 and still get a bug related to THE ac f-16, which i think it is, would hurt.


Thanks for taken your time Hager.

I got those inside too with bugs, but i aint got any other f-16 than mentioned.....

Just dl'ed abacus f-16..
YOU CAN GET IT NOW FOR $10
http://www.abacuspub.com/fsd/catalog/s478.htm
but i'm surely not impressed with the vc (no bugs)

The rest is looking fine

Did try the alliazing with other panels, but you need to transfer a lot to get the vc to work then.

You missed my point. Forget the VC for a moment. The purpose of aliasing to a default panel was a temporary measure. A process of elimination

I agree, its a mystery, on my pc that is.

Now i need to improve the vc on the abacus ac 8-)

Tks Hager ;)

If you saved your 10$ , and got 20 more, you could have got the Aerosoft F16, which is the best F16 for flightsim.
