Can someone please point me towards a good utility that removes unused gauges from FS9?

HiTry "Flightsim Manager". It's freeware and you can find it here in the library files. Download "fsm285.zip"Willy

That was exactly what I was looking for - thank you

Or you can download Gaugeexplorer110.zip (from here).This program finds out which gauges are not used. You can then choose to remove those unused non-default gauges or to move them to a safety folder.Then it re-checks the gauges once again.Easy installation, easy to handle! My recommendation!Haraldh F.

That's another great find - thank you

Willy,I installed fsm but when I went to use it I got the message "use newer version" or something like that. It did not work. The web site was also not working to check for a newer version. Anyone else having a similar problem?Carl Carl

What are the advantages of removing unused gauges?

If you install a panel (with gauges) and then for some reason delete the aircraft or the panel (or exchange that panel for a "better" one), you will end up with a lot of unused gauges in your gauge folder, taking up extra space!I use the GaugeExplorer to check for those unused gauges and to remove/move them, thus keeping my gauge folder at minimum level!Haraldh

Dr Guage works for me. Here on AVSIM.dolph

Thanks for the help! I've been looking for ways of trimming down my obese F9 install.
