missing guages

Postby Tequila Sunrise » Thu Jan 01, 2004 2:55 pm

I've just installed the new F-15J (VC) and the Jet Provost from http://www.btinternet.com/%7Erick.piper/page_16.htm and neither have  any instruments vissable in the 2d cockpit or VC. I have the files installed as instructed but the don't show up, any ideas?
If someone with multiple personality disorder threatens suicide, is it a hostage situation?

Craig. I would check this out for you but I'm no longer  prepared to download big files I don't want myself. On my 56k connection anything over 10 Mb is out. ::)

The Jet Provost appears to have its own panel so I assume it's included. Make sure you installed the gauiges properly. There are 2 basic types of gauges used in FS2002. You will already be familiar with the conventional GAU files.
Some 3rd party panels use the newer XML gauges. These also come in 2 types - the CAB files like the defaults or sometimes configured in an ordinary folder. Both should be pasted direct to FS2002\GAUGES. Do NOT unzip the CAB files or they won't work. I don't know if any of these later type gauges are used on these panels. Read the instructions carefully & make sure the gauges are installed correctly..
