May 16, 201115 yr Good afternoon from Melbourne Australia everybody, I hope all is well with the current readers of this thread. I'll get straight to the point with the assistance I very much need.1.) I want to add the following .bmp files contained in the following file on the Avsim Library : (map-improvements.zip) to the default Feelthere MAP! addon's (EFinfo.gau file) as per the instructions.http://library.avsim.net/search.php?CatID=root&SearchTerm=feelthere+map%21&Sort=Added&ScanMode=0&Go=Change+View2.) I have tried to edit the (EFinfo.gau) file from Feelthere MAP! in FS Panel Studio.3.) However when I try and edit the sub file contained in the (EFinfo.gau) file which is (FINFO). FS Panel Studio says The following XML Gauge is 0 bytes and it will not let me edit the .bmp files contained in it?Overall I simply just want to replace the .bmp files from the Feelthere MAP! (EFinfo.gau) file with the new improved ones from this file (map-improvements.zip). (All contain same file names)However the FS Panel Studio will not let me edit the EFinfo.gau file as you can see as it says the XML file is 0 bytes in size. Obviously which isn't true as it contains 39.4MB of .bmp files in.Is there any other program or a fix for FS Panel Studio that will let me simply edit the EFinfo.gau file as per the instructions included in the file (map-improvements.zip)Any help would be much appreciated as I'm quite angry I can't use these new .bmp improvements.ThanksDominicFS2004 9.1 / NVIDIA GeForce 8800GTS 640MB / 2 GB RAM / 500GTB HDD / IC2D E6750 2.66GHz / Vista 32-bit
