I just installed John Consterdine's Baron panel V2.1 plus upgrades. Also the latest FSUIPC V3.3. The panel is missing the Airspeed Indicator, as well as a blank radio stack (GPS shows up OK) and non-functioning annunciator lights. Also get a warning regarding unreg'd. FSUIPC. Is there a connection here? Or did I just screw up the install? (Went through it thoroughly, believe me!!)  All help appreciated.
 

AMD 64 X2-5200, NVidia 9600GT 512, 2048 DDR, 2x250 GB SATA, Saitek X45, Win XP SP3 (Win7-64bitRC1 and FSX on 2nd HD)

Don't use FSUIPC 3.x with FS2002.  Get 2.974 (dated March 14, 2003) and put it in your FS2002/modules folder.  Delete FSUIPC.ini and it will be re-created the next time you run the sim.  If you can't find a copy anywhere let me know and I'll email you one.

The radio stack should look like the screenshot (takes up the entire right 1/3 of the panel) and is the 4 gauges named FP*.gau.  If you have these 4 gauges in your FS2002/Gauges folder there is no reason why they shouldn't work unless there was a download error.  I can email these to you, too, and my versions include a fix for the autopilot (doesn't register negative altitude).

When you unzipped the download you should have ended up with a folder called "Gauges", containing a few gauges and a few folders.  Copy the entire "gauges" folder, including the subfolders, into FS2002/gauges and it should work fine.

PS - Make sure you followed the instructions about putting fssound.dll in your modules folder and modifying fs2002.cfg accordingly.

Jim, thanks for the advice. I just spent an hour or so redoing the install, and found a copy of FSUIPC V2.975 (not 2.974) Replaced V3.3 with that, checked and re-installed Gauge folder contents as you advised (all 4 FP* files are there). No joy - I still have the black hole (ASI) , empty radio stack, and dead annunciator panel. Any Plan B, anyone?   Paul
