I don't why, but I suposse that I have deleted some file, (by a missclick, who knows) at the Gauges folder, that now the GPS window doesn't open at ALL aircraft I select.
Pls, i'm with this problem since 1 month, i need a help... if you can transfer a new file to me, add my msn. Please.
Or help with any other way...

I'm waiting for your help, capts.

Try pressing Shift+2--That is an alternate way of bringing up the gps.  Let me know if it works

It doesn't open pressind keys, and going to the intrument panel in view options.. only for a few time the mouse turn into "time" while loading something, but nothing appears... Maybe I deleted an file istalling other aircraft, (without wanting :P)... so if someone knows what file is, pls help me.. I need the gps back to keep flying :/

Look in your gauges folder for this file: fs9gps.cab &/or FS9Garmin.cab

Yes, I have them both. I have extracted all files of them in Gauges folder, that's right?

The GPS started to doesn't appear more when i installed a 767 and a 777 from SMS Overland, it can have something in commun?

No, no, no...

If you un-CAB .CAB files, then they must go into a folder with the same name that the .CAB file had:

[code]
Volume in drive N is DATA
Volume Serial Number is 6C00-EFCA

Directory of N:\FSX\Gauges\fs9gps

So are you saying that if you unzip a CAB file, that the cab no longer exists?

Not sure where he even got the idea to unpack them to start with. :-?

If the cab files still exist, then couldn't he just copy/paste those into the panel folder instead?

OK, cool. That's what I thought. Thanks for the clarification on that one. :)
