I've got a problem with the LCD gauges within FS (examples: the cronometers on the cessnas, the rpm/accelerometer/cronometer on the extra 300 etc). They no longer display digits correctly, and just show a few dashes here and there.

I've replaced all the default gauges, replaced aircraft in question yet the problem is still there. I think this is the only problem I have with FS, so a reinstall would be unneccesary.

In short - what particular file would I have to find and replace? It can't be in the gauges folder, as I replaced all the default gauges. Effects maybe?

Try updating your graphics card drivers or downgrading them the the last version that worked if you have the latest.

AMD Athlon 64 3700+&&GeForce FX5200 256Mb&&1GB DDR400 DC&&Seagate 500Gb SATA-300 HDD&&Windows XP Professional X64 Edition&&&&That's right, I'm now using an AMD! I decided to give them another try and they kicked the pants off of my P4 3.4!

Well, I have the newest drivers, and I'm not going to roll them back, as the last drivers caused a ton of problems (IE crashing windows, etc).

Oh well, it's not a huge deal, as I rarely take the cessnas and such out.

Edit: Looks like they released some new drivers yesterday (I last checked on Monday). Hopefully these will correct this problem.

The new drivers did address a few problems relating to FS9, but this was not one of them, so any fixes are still up for grabs...

inside your FS9/Fonts folder.

???

The font is where it belongs, I also have a copy of it in my windows/fonts folder.

This is weird... it worked a few months ago, then all of a sudden the gauges go wonky.

Sounds like a driver conflict. You'll need to uninstall ALL video drivers. Then go to Add/Remove programs and remove them there as well, then delete the folders containing any drivers from your HD.
Then reboot. Install the newest drivers ONLY!
Reboot, hey presto Wink
