I just downloaded the dash 8-300 and when I brought it up in FS2004 there is a panel but nothing works? How can I turn the guages on and have them work.
Any help would be appreciated.
Norm

Hmmm. I decided, after a very long while to get going on my switchover to FSX. So I began by downloading the CVA Dash8 for FSX and the B1900. They installed and work but both have a rather serious guage problem. On the D-8 my altimeter and ASI have only a blanking plate where they should be while the HSI is a black hole. The B1900 has black holes for the RMI, HSI, ADI and ASI. I thought maybe I had forgotten to unzip the files so I reinstalled ensuring that I had done so but it came out the same. I also downloaded the FSX CVA CRJ and it seems to be fine. SO I'm wondering if the are aslo files missing for these ones as well?

I downloaded the PAD Dash8-300 and the B1900, the Twin Otter, the King Air 350 and the CRJ-700 successively and installed them one after the other. The 350 and Twin Otter came out fine. Contrary to my previous post, the CRJ is not ok, it has the PFD location black. I dont recall seeing anything during the initial install about giving permission to install guages but maybe I missed it. I have reinstalled a couple of them and didnt see any requirement for permission but maybe after the first time it wont ask again. I think I'll remove the problem aircraft and start over as it sort of makes sense that if guage permission is needed and I missed it that I would have this sort of problem. As well I saw in another post where the installation of an add-on in FSX should be followed by by a boot up to the default aircraft before anything else is added. I added these airctraft in one fell swoop before a boot so maybe thats a problem too.

Further to my post, I have since removed the problem ac from FSX and rebooted. I then d/l the D8-300, unzipped and ran the installer. There was nothing about permissions and the installer ran exactly as you'd expect. Still have the missing guages (ASI, VSI, Atimeter, Aspd, ADI alt Sel ). I looked in the config file and I cant see anything amiss there. However, everything that's missing appears to be related to a file called DASH_83.dll. I have two of them: same creation date and what looks like the same version number but the file sizes are slightly different. All that seems odd to me. I'm running XP and have FS9 installed as well. FS9 works fine including the ac that are giving me problems in FSX. So the issue looks like an FSX issue to me but I'm beat to know where to look next.

Hi Chuck,
Yep, the panel fix resolved the problems with the Dash8 panel. Thanks a lot. :thumbsup:
Now would you happen to have the same thing for the B1900?
