Otto,

I just installed the aircraft without any problems.

I'm not sure what's causing the problem - I tried in earnest to duplicate what you described.

I guess the only thing I can suggest is to make sure all of the gauges from the downloaded zip file are copied directly into the fs2002/Gauges directory.  Make sure they are not sitting in a subfolder within the Gauges folder.

Good luck! Undecided

honestly I'm not trying to be difficult but,........I'm assuming you didn't have the same problem with the attitude indicator.
           
            I've  tried to drag all of the appropriate files to the panel file. This didn't change anything. Honestly, if you have time, take it step by step, I'm talking computer 101(with reference to the panel install).

                                                       Pat ???
 

.....so I loaded up the plane and moved to Middle-EEEE..........OIL..that is......

I may have got this wrong OTTOL but you need to put the gauges thet come with the download into your GAUGES file (fs2k2's capitals not mine).  If you leave them in the Panel's folder fs2k2 will not be able to find them and will not display them.

Will

Edit:

Your gauges file will be in: */Program Files/Microsoft Games/FS2002.  * is the letter code for your hard drive, usually C.

Copy all of the gauges that come with the panel into here.  The ones that are showing are probably default gauges that come with the basic package.
 

Who switched the lights off?  I can't see a thing.......  Hold on, my eyes were closed.  Oops, my bad...............&&...

Ottol,go to your gauges folder in that plane and open it.
Manually copy those files into the FS2002 gauges folder.
I just downloaded the aircraft,installed it and had the same result as you. Copy those files individually and you should have a result.
I have a problem with this with a number of aircraft the worst being the Aerocommander with something over 450 files to copy.
Let us know how you get on! Smiley

Eureka, there's hope for me yet! Thanks to packercolinl, and 
all others who assisted. If I can repay the favor:you said to copy the files individually. I don't know if you said this because I said to keep it simple, or if that's the way you've been doing it, but the way I completed this was much quicker. With all of my available files displayed in the left pane(sp?), I double clicked on the gauges file of the aircraft in question to display the files in the right pane. I clicked the
curser to the right pane and hit Ctrl.A, to select all of the files. Then I dragged the files to the FS2002 gauges file using the right click button. This left me with a "Copy Here" Option.   This is much quicker.  Cheesy
