Help ! Radio Stack detail missing

Postby mikew247 » Tue Oct 14, 2003 2:35 pm

Your assistance greatfully received.
I have 'mislaid' the front panel detail of the radio stack (on all of the Cessna aircraft plus the Bell 206, possibly others).  When selected in cockpit view, the radio stack appears as a blank black panel. I have not knowingly changed or disgarded any files, however..........!!

You may have accidentally overwritten the gauge for the panel, so look for the gauge files on the FS source disks.  I believe its disk 1.

To narrow down your search look for a gauge named bendix_king_radio.gau. This will be in one of the CAB files on CD-1. Sorry, I don't remember which one. You can open CAB files with WinZip & extract the gauge in the usual way. Paste it into your FS2002\GAUGES folder overwriting the existing file.

My, that was quick work. Glad you fixed it. ;)
This problem is usually caused by overwriting the default gauges when installing 3rd party panels. Take my tip & never extract zipfiles direct to the sim. Unzip files to a Temp folder & paste the individual GAU files into the GAUGES folder. Do NOT overwrite existing files if prompted.
