E/WD not showing up in the VC

Post by Delta777 »

I just installed the VC for the A380 into FS9 and everything works fine, just the E/WD doesn't show up. Any idea what is causing that?

I must say, the work that the guys at PA have done for this bird is astonashing. Great work. For the moment, only a few little bugs I'd like to iron out. I'm having the same issue, along with missing a few other instruments/gauges.

If anyone has any solution to this matter, it would be greatly appreciated.

I included a picture to make sure everyone knows what we're talking about.

Did you follow the installation instructions in the Readme?

So you've run the batch script?

You haven't used the installer. In the aircraft.cfg title= section you need to include the word PAgauges or VASFMCgauges, depending on which gauge setup you are using.

This is what I have in my aircraft.cfg. I cleaned it up a bit, making sure nothing was changed other than that.

It should be 'PAgauges' (the 'g' is lowercase). JUTBI[1].


[1] Just Use The Bloody Installer.

Well, I've done some trouble shooting and it seems PAGauges is not the way to go. PAgauges works. A Capital G? Really. Silly me. Thanks for hinting towards that Derek, guys. Any idea why the Brake accumulator gauge doesn't show up?

BYTBI[2]

[2] By Using The Bloody Installer...I don't get a plane that shows up. So I had to revert to measures that worked, another forum member gave us a step by step which we put in manually. I get the same problems at the others with an A380 not showing up when I use the installer.

Here is my cfg when I use the installer..but nothing shows up in FS

There's not a gauge for that.
but nothing shows up in FS
Do you mean that it's not there on the selection screen?

That's pretty much sums it up. I have no 380 to select from in the Project Airbus Selection Screen. Only one I have is the one I installed manually under Airbus/PA
