I'm having an issue with Accel and 2 of the stock aircraft, that being the FA-18 and the EH101 helicopter. Neither have gauges. The Mustang racer does have its gauges.I have used the disks to uninstall both programs. I check the Program Access and Defaults to make sure all MSFS folders and files were removed during the uninstall. I then went into the program file folder on my C: drive and delted all MSFS folders. Turned off the computer and re installed both FSX and Accel. I validated both via the internet to ensure they were both active and not on the trial period, and still they have no gauges for either aircraft on a fresh install.I thought at first I might have delted "for what ever reason" the CAB file for the FA-18, but upon doing a fresh install I noticed that the FA-18 and the EH101 only use a .dll file, which both are present. Nothing has been added at this time. What could cause this problem? I am running XP as my os. All stock aircraft for FSX have gauges.I have done the uninstall and re install quite a few times over the last couple of years and have never run into this problem.Any and all comments or suggestions welcome...Cheers Ari
