Ok after intalling sertain aircraft to CFS2 i find out that some if not all of the guages are missing from the panel. This happens even to aircraft that supply their own guages sometimes. This is realy annoying because many of them are realy good addons and aircraft id like to kepp. For example, i downloaded a WWI Tigermoth (which i love) but i cant see any of the guages with the exeption of the speedometer... I followed all ReadMe instructions. anyone know whats going on and how to fix it?

Are you sure that you put the addon gauges in the "Gauges" folder and not in the aircraft folder.  That is a common problem that will cause the gauges not to show up.

...positive...ive gone back and checked it ove and over.

You are obviously doing something wrong. All gauges (.gau files) usually live in the CFS2\GAUGES folder. Tell me exactly where to download one of the problem aircraft so I can check it out for you.

PS. The Tiger Moth first flew in 1931, some 13 years after the end of WWI. It was used by the RAF as a basic trainer throughout WWII.

Ok i figured it out. aperently this airplane uses spitfire and hurricane guages...airplanes i dont have, so thats why its not showing up. I guess it works that way with other aircraft who use other peoples guages. Thanx for trying to help Hangar....and your right, the tiger moth was an RAF trainer...dont know what i was thinking with WW1......thanx

The CFS1 default Hurricane & Spitfire cluster gauges are included with CFS2. (hurricane_1.gau & spitfire_mki.gau). They should be in your CFS2\Gauges folder. If not you can retrieve them from the CD.
