Hi

Does anyone know why a panel included with a free Embraer E170 has a
gauges file "gpsmx20.gau" that causes my FS9 to say its incompatible
with Flight Simulator? If I try and go ahead with it FS hangs and if I
try and access the GPS from the panel when its disabled by FS it causes
FS to hang so badly the whole system crashes?

Is it corruption or is that file an FSX only file?

Thanks

Bernie

It's possible it's an old FS98 gauge in a no longer supported format.
I've run into that recently on some a/c I'm working with. If you have
FS Panel Studio you can open the gauge and see what vintage it is.

I'm not familiar with that .gau file, Bernie. But you could try
editing the panel.cfg and replacing the existing gps gauge entry with
the gps entry from any of the fs9 default aircraft.

Yes, that seems a good idea. I had a look in properties after Brett's
post and it is a Microsoft gauge from FS2002! It is , as Brett thought,
an older gauge and is probably not a goer in FS9. I'll try to put the
default one in.

Thanks guys.

At least it wasn't FS98 <G>. Just use one of the FS9 ones and you'll
be fine.
