Gauges are dissapearing

[Rugglesbie]

New panel in a new install of cfs2 after 3min. flying my guages dissapear. Anyone had this problem before? Know a fix?

Never had this problem after testing literally 100s of new panels in CFS2. I can only assume you didn't install it properly. Which panel is it? Maybe you can post a shot so I can see what's what.

I put the panel in my old install of cfs2 and it worked with no problems. The new install of cfs2 must have gotten corrupted. It was in a different folder on the same drive as the old version. I have uninstalled it now and will put it on one of my other drives. I will see if that will fix it.

Glad you fixed it .Whatever caused the problem is certainly not related to a duplicate install on the same drive. I only have one HD & have had up to 4 different versions of CFS2 installed & running perfectly.

[Rugglesbie]

I don't know. But it is working now. Gonna use the biker creed. If it aint broke don't fix it.

Hi Ruggs

I may be a little late with this. But you know I've been out of town a lot lately. Try droping this text into the aircraft.cfg file:


[ELECTRICAL]
max_battery_voltage=24.0
generator_alternator_voltage=28.0
max_generator_alternator_amps=50.0
;BusType, MaxAmpLoad, MinVoltage BusTypes:0=MainBus,1=AvionicsBus,2=BatteryBus,3=Ho


tBatteryBus,4-7=Generator/AlternatorBus(1-4)
flap_motor = 0, 5 , 0.0
gear_motor = 0, 5 , 0.0
autopilot = 0, 5 , 0.0
avionics_bus = 0, 10, 0.0
avionics = 1, 5 , 0.0
pitot_heat = 0, 2 , 0.0
additional_system = 0, 20, 0.0
marker_beacon = 1, 2 , 0.0
gear_warning = 0, 2 , 0.0
fuel_pump = 0, 5 , 0.0
starter1 = 0, 20, 0.0
light_nav = 0, 5 , 0.0
light_beacon = 0, 5 , 0.0
light_landing = 0, 5 , 0.0
light_taxi = 0, 5 , 0.0
light_strobe = 0, 5 , 0.0
light_panel = 0, 5 , 0.0

Sounds like your aircraft has no electrical system. Save a text copy for future reference. Usually in CFS 2 if guages are not working check the .cfg file if there is no electrical entry. That is the prob. BTW squad meeting tonight 6pm.
