C:\Users\[name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\dll.xml

I have tried that. Got as far as \name\ and got stuck. there is no \ AppData\  or anything beyond that to navigate to.

Name is your computer's name, possibly your first name?  It's the same place your FSX.cfg is located.

Okay, I finally located and edited the file as per the directions in the user manual. No results. The 530 is still completely non functional in my 182.

Have not yet seen the log files... 😉

Also, quick check what files do you have in your FSX\Gauges folder that start with rxpGNS?

One thing that can happen is your AV program interfering.. check to see if any rxp files have been quarantined!

Just rxpGNS2.dll

Okay, I'm kinda new at this stuff. Please explain how to check on quarantined files. Step by step please. Thank you for your patience. I know I must be driving you up the wall by now. Still looking for those log files,

That is OK.

Search for rxpGNS*.log in your C drive Users folder.

Do you have an anti virus program (AV) installed on your PC?

And... still waiting for the log files that may tell us what is going on 😉

Disregard last question. I'm half asleep. Yeah, I checked it and nothing is blocked.

The only thing in my C;\users folder is public and night.

Are you running Windows 10? Lets try this maybe? Call up your log files, and tell me exactly what you did to get them so I can duplicate the procedure?

On the C drive, use the Search function to search for rxpGNS*.log

Or do the same in the Users folder (faster)..

Is there a Documents folder in the Users folder?

Again, use the Search function!  (Top right corner..)

Lastly, did you possibly move your Documents folder to another drive??

Edited May 16, 20215 yr by Bert Pieke

I have already done that in both C;\  and C;\users  folders. The result was the same. " nothing found matching this description." This is a brand new gaming laptop, so I have no other drives set up. I have also looked in my FSX\documents folder with the same results. 

Users>default>documents    This folder is empty.

OK, one step back... When you start up the a2a C182 and click on the black GNS screen, you get a popup GNS window, correct?

You never confirmed that the GNS in the popup says:  GNS530XP... does it?

(like in the screenshot that I posted above..)

I am just trying to establish if the RXP gauge is actually running.
