Baron panels and FSUIPC bugs

[dodger]

I just installed John Consterdine's Baron panel V2.1 plus upgrades. Also the latest FSUIPC V3.3. The panel is missing the Airspeed Indicator, as well as a blank radio stack (GPS shows up OK) and non-functioning annunciator lights. Also get a warning regarding unreg'd. FSUIPC. Is there a connection here? Or did I just screw up the install? (Went through it thoroughly, believe me!!)  All help appreciated.

Don't use FSUIPC 3.x with FS2002.  Get 2.974 (dated March 14, 2003) and put it in your FS2002/modules folder.  Delete FSUIPC.ini and it will be re-created the next time you run the sim.  If you can't find a copy anywhere let me know and I'll email you one.

The radio stack should look like the screenshot (takes up the entire right 1/3 of the panel) and is the 4 gauges named FP*.gau.  If you have these 4 gauges in your FS2002/Gauges folder there is no reason why they shouldn't work unless there was a download error.  I can email these to you, too, and my versions include a fix for the autopilot (doesn't register negative altitude).

When you unzipped the download you should have ended up with a folder called "Gauges", containing a few gauges and a few folders.  Copy the entire "gauges" folder, including the subfolders, into FS2002/gauges and it should work fine.

PS - Make sure you followed the instructions about putting fssound.dll in your modules folder and modifying fs2002.cfg accordingly.

Jim, thanks for the advice. I just spent an hour or so redoing the install, and found a copy of FSUIPC V2.975 (not 2.974) Replaced V3.3 with that, checked and re-installed Gauge folder contents as you advised (all 4 FP* files are there). No joy - I still have the black hole (ASI) , empty radio stack, and dead annunciator panel. Any Plan B, anyone?   Paul
