Hi,I'm wondering if I need to have purchased the pro edition to be able to use some of the freeware aircraft which state they use pro gauges..Thanks,Andrew

In a nutshell: Yes...A workaround for this though could be subsituting gauges.http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/edenw/fs_banner_je4.jpg Think highly of yourself, for the world takes you at your estimate -Anon

Unless you find the aircraft panels "must haves", you could always do what I do and substitute another panel. I'm flying some beautiful "Pro-only" a/c..... The other option is to use the panel, and scan the libs for similar gauges. Almost a guarantee that someone, somewhere has come out with their own version of a pro-gauge. You'd then just need to edit the panel.cfg to point to the new gauge names...-John

Aw, darn.Well, it's another $20...Thanks all.Andrew
