Oleksiy's Dash 8 gauge problem

[glennc 5]

Hi all,I'm getting the dreaded "3rd party" error when I select Oleksiy's Dash-8 version 1.003. It refers to dash8all.gau and repeats about 50 times before loading the sim from "create a flight". I then experience the same in-game. I've got fsuipc ver. 2.95 so I've kind of ruled that out.Might anyone have a solution?Thanks in advance,Glenn CampbellWindsor, CANADA

The gauge will only recognise the folder name the aircraft shipped with; so if you've changed this (you have, haven't you, you naughty boy) you'll get the problem you describe.The folder name should be Dash8-Q300_2Let us know if this solves your difficulties.Mark "Dark Moment" Beaumonthttp://www.swiremariners.com/newlogo2.jpg

Nooo...nooo...nooo, Markie! I've left well enough alone on the folder name. In fact, on my second attempt to install I cut and pasted the folder from a temporary download folder directly to ->aircraft.Thanks for the quick reply but no joy I fear.Cheers,Glenn

RTFM, I believe is the proper "a la mode" for my slice of humble pie.From the installation.html:"4. If NOT using windows XP as your operating system, place the included gdiplus.dll into your main fs2k2 folder."Sounds like a CIA interrogation..."Did you NOT kill a man in Da Trang province in 1968?"Problem solved and thanks for your reply Mark.Cheers,Glenn
