I cant help you with the first problem, but about the gauges:

how high is the screenshot resolution, and did you check the high quality gauges in the display settings for the cockpit/plane?

Are you saying that all your AC's have unreadable VC gauges, or just your 737 experience.
As for the sound, you might be able to go to the default 737 and copy the sound folder, then paste it into the 737 experience folder and replace the sound folder it comes with. This is odd though I've never heard of, or had this problem with this plane.
good luck

The 737 Experience Sound.cfg is aliased to the default B737_400 which should not give error messages. Your problem is more likely to be caused by a gauge. Which panel are you using? Make sure you installed any included WAV files into the FS9\Sound directory.

You could try reinstalling the whole thing. Delete it & start again. I would do it in stages & try the basic aircraft in FS9 before adding the Merge Panel. There's no need to download it all again if you still have the zipfiles.

It all seems to work perfectly for me. I can't suggest anything unless I can duplicate the problem.

Good news. ;) I must admit that some of the VC gauges are difficult to read but my system is nothing to write home about.

When Moach designed the plane, he tried to make the gauges and autopilot readouts as visible as possible in the VC while retaining as much 'reality' as possible.

What affects this during flight is the view zoom level - the more zoomed out you are, the harder it is to read the gauges. You can make them more readable by zooming the view in when you want to refer to a specific gauge or figure - it's what I do when I'm flying in smaller prop planes like the Cessna 150 where gauge readability is also often an issue.

I've tried the panel merge update a few times and I'll be buggered if I can get it going, it would be nice to be able to pop-up some of the instruments on final....but I gave up on it, and just enjoy it the way moach made it  ::)
