Sounds like the panel is not pointing to the gauges folder...

Confirm your FS folder structure looks like this:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Aircraft\xxx"
with xxx the aircraft under discussion
and
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Gauges\xxx.gau"

And let's see the bit of your panel.cfg that describes gauges, e.g.

[Window01]
file=switchpanel_pic.bmp
size_mm=1098,499
position=6
visible=0
ident=5

gauge00=awb2006!sp1_master_sw, 59,271,221,83,sp1
gauge01=awb2006!sp1_close, 836,192,255,46,sp1
gauge02=awb2006!sp1_oxmic, 118,209,41,60,sp1
gauge03=awb2006!sp1_avionics_sw, 182,223,30,35,sp1
gauge04=awb2006!sp1_inverter_sw, 273,214,33,51,sp1
gauge05=awb2006!sp1_autoign_left_sw, 325,214,32,52,sp1



hi Charl, i just saw this post from you, i cant seem to find these (or any "gauge") in either the king air or 1900 folder. does that mean that i will only have to add in a few lines to the cfg.?
If so are you able to copy and paste the ones that i will need for the king air 350 (and 1900 if you have it)

Thank you kindly

I think those gauges are from the Aeroworx Kingair, so if you don't have that aircraft installed you won't have the gauges. IMO the freeware AFG Kingair is a great (And cheaper winkyy.gif ) alternative...

Mods... are there any issues in uploading panel.cfg files?? If its okay I can upload or post a section of my default Kingair and PMDG B1900 cfg's for you to look at.....

The problem has been fixed as I had emailed the appropriate files to Andrew and he has everything working OK now
