Hi,Could someone assist on how to import a fs2002/2004 cabin announcement file (the famous 10 dfd_wav sound file) in FSX.Here is what I used to do for FS9:1. Place sound wav file in FS9/sound folder2. Place sound gauges in FS9/gauge folder (with FSX is this root FSX root folder ?)3. Update selected aircraft panel.cfg by adding a new window with info on position, size, gauge descriptions, etc (copy-past my fs9 aircraft cdg with some amendments for fsx).My main question concern the validation of old FS98 type gauges. In FS9, we used to add an entry in the FS9.cfg file which allowed the use of previous FS versions gauges, by adding "OldModule" in fs9.cdg, and just bellow FSSounddll=1 (the gauge in question), is there something equivalent in FSX or no way to use previous version gauges ?Many thanks for your answerPatrickGeneva Switzerland

Sorry I meant,3. Update selected aircraft panel.cfg by adding a new window with info on position, size, gauge descriptions, etc (copy-past my fs9 AIRCRAFT PANEL.CFG with some amendments for fsx).PatrickGeneva

FS98 gauges are not supported by FSX.

Speaking of cabin announcment sound files, has anyone been able to use the Flightdeck Sound Effects Panel addon that was created for FS9 in FSX? Just curious.

Just curious.Yes the fdsfx panel by Marcus Thompson, is working for me in fsx just make sure all the files are in the right place as written in the readme file All the sound files to your sound folder all the gauges to your gauge folder in fsx and pretty much all is the same as in the read me file the only thing that changes is the path for aircraft which is simobjects/airplanes which you just go to your aircraft's panel cfg file and place the correct lines and also don't forget the FDSFX bmp file.FlightDeck Sound Effects Panelhttp://library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=41196 and this one also http://library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=42819 for a different color to better fit a Boeing 737.

I have set up the panel step by step and my panel is just a black square! from what ive read im not the only one... any advice ?

XPax is a nice add on which fires announcements at various stages of the flight and you can customise the voices yourself. Well worth a look.
