EHM-E4S:
really? I really need to get these folders sorted out then. I'm usually much better at this stuff.

EHM-E4S:
Where's the gauges on the download? I can't find them.

EHM-1343 Jonathan:
Follow the readme file inside to the letter...
the author allways provides instructions for the installation of his work...Make sure you are extracting it correrctly to the right place, and have the "use folder names options checked"

EHM-1001 Robert:
Hi,

there is only 1 Gauges folder in the FS installation. There is a central one, in ...\FS2004\Gauges. The most planes put their gauges there, so other panels can use the gauges too...it is a big collection.

Not always, you can use a "personalized" folder for a panel. As each aircraft have its own Panel folder, some panel allows to put their own gauges to the aircraft's own panel folder, and it can read out from there...it is not true for FS2002 (!!!) and sometimes (???) does not work in FS2004 either. That is why we use the only 1... the 1 and only ... the central Gauges folder to keep all the gauges for all the installed panels.

If an install pack say to you "copy xxx folder content into Gauges folder" then you will know, that you need to copy those files to under ...\FS2004\Gauges. At EHM, we use self-extracting packages, so, in case the package contains the panel too, then the gauges will be automatically copied to the correct place ;) You can check out the installed files and folders, if you type a fake FS main directory...like you put "C:\xxx" for installation, the installer will extract the files there, and you can check out the folder structure and extracted files.

EHM-E4S:
I've read the manual, I've done everything, but I can't find the files to put in the gauges folder. That's my problem.
