EHM-1001 Robert:
Okay okay :) Which package are we talking about ???
For the installers on the fleet page you do not need to look for any files, it will automatically extract everything. If you downloaded something from the net, there will be probably subfolders, or sub-zips in the package, under a name Gauges. It is used to be. If not, look for .gau and .xml and .cab files in the downloaded package and those will be the gauges.
EHM-E4S:
Ok. I'm going to go over exactly what I did.
1: I opened up the file
2: I clicked on the installer, and installed it to Fs9/Aircraft
3: I went to the aircraft folder, and found two folders made by the installation.
4: One was called "fsfsconv" which has folders "TCP-Panel" and "TCP-Sound" in it.
5: the other folder is called "ATR 42-500 - Freelance TCP" which has folders "model", "panel" "sound" and "texture". Inside them, it is just a copy of the TCP ones.
6: I took out the documents inside "TCP-Panel", and put them inside the Panel folder of the EHM one.
7: I loaded Flight Simulator, the panel worked, but there were no gauges.
I've gone through exactly what I did, and I did not find any gauges, so where are they?
EHM-1465 Dominic:
Matt,
When I installed the downloaded package I did it to a dummy folder rather than to the FS9 directory, this way you can see exactly what folders it creates. From memory (I'm at work at the moment) I believe it creates three main folders - 'aircraft', 'gauges' and 'sound' and the content of each of these folders should go into the same named folder in your main FS9 folder.
So the folders you've found, including the 'fsfsconv' folder should be in the main 'aircraft' folder. The fsfsconv one contains the ATR-42 panel details (which is the bit you need) and the actual aircraft this download creates should be in a folder called 'Air Caledonie ATR-42' or similar... This is the one that you should copy the panel folder from in my instructions above.
The other one you need (and probably the cause of your problems) is the 'gauges' folder which may have ended up in your FS9/aircraft folder... If so, open up the new 'gauges' folder, select all the contents and 'cut' them then open up the main 'gauges' folder in your FS9 folder and 'paste' what you've cut into this folder, overwriting all the older gauges and files.
I hope (if my explanation hasn't given you a massive headache) that this will then mean your ATR-42 instruments should all show up correctly! If they still don't, get back to me and I'll do my best to work out what's wrong... ;D
EDIT: I see you've updated your last post, it appears that the gauges have not ended up where they need to be so follow the instructions above and look for the new gauges folder. If no joy, your best bet is to run the installer again to a dummy folder (eg C: downloads/ATR-42) and then extract the contents of the 'gauges' folder that this will create straight to the main FS9/gauges folder. Then it SHOULD all work... ;)
EHM-E4S:
Thanks! I noticed my problem. The bloody gauges folder somehow ended up in my Documents and Settings. I've found it now, so I had a big massive headache, but now it's gone!;D Thanks!
EHM-E4S:
Another Problem:{ I've done the dummy thingy. I've extracted all the files from the gauges folder, and put them in the main Gauges folder. I've copied the panel, and put it in the EHM folder. I turn it on, and I have the fuel, and the Altitude Indicator, but nothing else.
