I have some aircraft for FS2004 that I use in FS2002 Pro. When I start FS and certain aircraft won't load the GPS just a black screen any way to make it display. Thanks in advance.

The default GPS gauge in FS9 has a different name to the one in FS2002. Open Panel.cfg of the aircraft in Notepad & look for an entry like this.

gauge00=fs9gps!gps_500,0,0

Change it to use the FS2002 GPS gauge like this.
gauge00=gps!gps,0,0

Exit Notepad saving changes. That should do it.

Please take a backup copy of Panel.cfg before editing it in case you mess it up.
