I got the aircraft and gauge uninstaller airgau41.zip in my fs2002 file and when I removed the "unused" gauges it has gauges removed that I know (think) are being used. Does the 737-400.gau (size 2229kb) have alot of gauges inside that file that are say, doubled up in the gauges files? I am not a panel designer so I am not sure how these gauges work. I still see the gauges working on my panel though even though it says I removed the "unused" gauge. Should I worry about it?

I have been using it for about 2 months now without any problems. I add and delete quite a few aircraft and as you know most of the addon panels use mainly default gauges. The uninstaller seems to only remove those gauges on the particular panel you delete and leaves the same gauges in the rest of your aircraft panels. So far no problems.................

Thanks, I certainley didn't want to remove any gauges that should stay. Here is a copy of all the 737 gauges that are left in my FS 2002 PRO GAUGES FOLDER "after" I used the gauge uninstaller:


737-400.autopilot.gau
737-400.engine-start.4.gau
737-400.flaps.gau
737-400.gau
737-400.landing-gear.gau
737-400.radio-stack.gau

Now I have a total of 36 737 gauges that were removed in the "unused gauges folder". I don't seem to be having any problems with the panel, but, I "guess" that the gauges are being pulled from the 737-400.gau file. It is a huge file 2229KB. Like I said, I am not a panel designer, so I really don't know how all this stuff works. I will continue to use it. After all, I could always reload the sim, if I really ran into a problem. I really like the idea of the gauge/aircraft uninstaller.
