Hi, I downloaded a panel for a 737-200 and for some reason when I click the GPS icon, it doesn't show it:

Any idea how to fix it?

Thanks. Smile

it is jsut a missing gauge. Could be that the panel config file is trying to link to the wrong gauge name. Please post here ONLY the GPS window part of the panel cfg file. That way we could maybe try to see what's wrong with it.

Just the 'Windows' portion of the panel.cfg please. The part where it shows how many windows there are like Main, Upper, Radio...etc.

Also, exact filename of the download would help a lot.

Okay just tried it and still get the same problem.

EDIT:

Ooops, sorry for double post.

Do you have this file in your Gauges folder...

" FS9gps.cab " If you don't then that's why you are missing the GPS. If you do, then we'll take it from there.

Nope I don't have it, but all of my other planes work fine...

Where can I get this?

Thanks. Smile

I asked him to post the [window01] section, because it may be that the panel has a dofferent (non default) GPS like the 430 or similar......

Please do so if you can.

Guys, could it really be that it is not working because of the space between gps_500 and number 1 ???

Check out if you have fs9gps.cab file in your main gauges folder, and if you can unpack it temporarly check if yo uhave gps_500.xml in it.

EDIT (by the time old max catches his sences): wait a minute, this is in the FS2002 section?! Do you have FS2002? How do u expect to use a gauge even called FS9 in fs2002.....?! Laughing

LMAO There is an easy way of fixing it... just find the fs2002 gps gauge name, and replace fs9gps!gps_500 with the filename of the gauge.

I think it should be gps!gps_500 there, but I am really not that sure about it.
