I have a piper J3 installed on my FS2002 but there are no gauges on the panel. There is a folder with gauges included but I don't know how to get them on the panel. Can anyone help? ??? Also, I'm kinda new at this and need to know what AFCAD and terrain mesh mean. Thanks

Typically gauges will be placed in the FS2002/Gauges folder. Aside from reading the installations instructions that came with the aircraft, it might help to  read the Aircraft Installation Tutorial here......http://www.simviation.com/acinstall.htm.

AFCAD is described and is available here....http://www.simviation.com/fs2002utilities_ess1.htm....at the bottom of the page.

'Terrain mesh' files are scenery add-ons that give greater detail to  ground elevation in FS. Mountains and valleys and such are much more realistic (rugged), especially during lower altitude flying. IMHO, essential if your into bush/low altitude flying.   Smiley

In general when looking at the file description,  the smaller the sampling distance, 30Meters vs 70 Meters, or the higher the Level of Detail, LOD9 vs LOD7, the more detail you will see.

Cheers,
Dave
