FS9 Sound and gauge files in FSX

[Bubblehead]

What's the best way to paste FS9 sound and/or gauges files into FSX. I prefer to get them identified as none FSX files. In my FS9 main folder, it's a mess because I never know which files belong to what aircraft. Is it possible to create a sound folder naming it for example AB340_240 guage, pasting itin the FSX main sound folder - then copy or paste all the associated gauge files to it? Or am I imagining things.

Gauges will work from the Panel folder of the panel they belong to. I usually paste them in there to try it. Then if I intend keeping the aircraft I transfer them to the main Gauges folder. I did the same in FS9.

Thanks Hagar, but my question is can I transfer gauge/sound files to FSX by palcing them into a folder, or they must all remain in the form of files when I transfer them to the FSX sound folder. By this I mean:

    Sound Folder                      xxx.wav
          xxx.wav                        xxx.wav, etc
          xxx.wav, etc.  or

Also how will I know if a download is an AI or not?

Unless you edit the path to each gauge in panel.cfg I think you would have to paste the gauges into the Panel folders or FSX\Gauges for them to show up. Sound files usually live in the Sound folders of the aircraft they belong to.

Not sure what you mean about AI aircraft. If it's like FS9 any installed aircraft can
