Hello everyone, I've come across a bit of a problem tonight. I fired up FSX and loaded the default Baron for a flight in Orbx PNW - I then got a BSOD when the loading bar was on the screen. I then rebooted, fired up FSX again and was rather dismayed to find some of the gauges in my VCs are missing. I've only tried four aircraft so far but...i) The default Baron is missing all the gauges except the radios.ii) The Carenado Mooney is missing some of the gauges.iii) The Lionheart Kodiak is missing the G1000 displays.iv) The default C172 and Extra are all ok.I've checked to see if the panel.cfg files are still intact and they are. I've checked to see if the actual gauge files are there and as far as I can see they still are. I then tried completely reinstalling the Carenado Mooney and the same gauges are still missing in the VC.I'm at a loss to work out what happened, and I'm reluctant to do a complete reinstall of FSX because it will take many hours to install all my addons. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can fix this?Desperately hoping for a saviour!Cheers,Nick

Have you tried the old standby of renaming or deleting the FSX.cfg and allowing FSX to rebuild a new one?

If you have Vista/Win7, please check that UAC is not on censor over the FSX installation. If you don't, or otherwise have ensured that UAC has been deactivated, check all virus softwares to see if those softwares have blocked the gauge files they may have deemed suspicious. I have my copy of FSX installed over a weak computer with the Kaspersky Internet Security 9.0 program installed and I've had no problems with it. Dave.

I had same sort of problems, after power went off right at the same time i was loading up FSX... Only cure i could come up with was do a clean re-install of FSX. :/

HiHave you tried this gauges_recovery_fsx.zip tool, maybe you give that a try before a new install.Search at Avsim library and you get it.

Thanks for the suggestions everyone :)I did a system restore last night (luckily I had a recent restore point) and everything works now.Cheers,Nick
