Hello and welcome to the forum!

The following generally applies to downloaded panels:

As an example, to install a downloaded panel into the default 737-400, the file "panel.cfg" is installed into the directory C/Program Files/Microsoft Games/fs2002/Aircraft/b737_400/Panel.

Any gauges that come with the panel are copied directly to C/Program Files/Microsoft Games/fs2002/Gauges. If the gauges are in a .zip file, they must be unzipped before copying them to this directory.

In the event that your Gauges folder already contains some of the gauges that were included with the panel, you will get a prompt asking if you want replace the existing file of that name. You should always answer "no" to this question to avoid corruption by third-party software.

Hope this helps!

Erik

hi usually panels you download come in zip format i usually unzip them when you have done this a window should open with your panel folder open folder cut and paste panel sub folder to your selscted aircraft you will get a prompt if you want to overwrite do so .......also some panels may have seperate gauge zip and sound zip unzipp them cut and paste both to corresponding folders in flight sim that should work always does for me it sounds complicated but it isent and once you have done it once you will be able to do it allways good luck Tongue

How i Could do to make it fine ?
