Recentely I got a panel from avisim that had all the gauges in XML format and thier bmp backgrounds zipped into a cab file. The readme was in Spanish, but i finally supposed that the guy wanted me to unzip the cab file into the gauges folder.
It didnt work

Anish when you unzipped the file, was there a directory containing more files. If so you should copy that directory to the gauges folder rather than just its contents.

Recentely I got a panel from avisim that had all the gauges in XML format and thier bmp backgrounds zipped into a cab file.

It's unusual for the bitmaps to be in a cab file and the xml gauges themselves not to be.

What's the file name? I'll go get it and take a look.

Sorry Mark, no folders  ::)

Here take a look:


I saw a similar cab file containing gauges for the default 747 in the gauges folder, but ......... out of ideas

Hi,
I know it's not a designing problem but I pretty sure the guys in the "panel & gauge design" forum will be able to help.

Just place CAB files into your gauges directory, don't unzip them or extract any files from them

Sorry for the long non response... my modem somehow thought of taking some days off and apparentley it took me some time to get it in pace  ;D ;D ;D

Just for the information: I got the panel working !!  :D >: >:((except a few guages)  >:(

Thanks everybody !

As Andrew says - most XML gauges are in CAB format. These look like zipfiles & can be extracted with WinZip or similar. Do NOT unzip them. Simply paste the CAB files into the FS2002\GAUGES folder. You should see similar default CAB files already there, for example, beech_baron.cab, boeing747-400.cab, minipanel.cab & simicons.cab.
