vride1 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Installed TDS Boing 737-700 and also a panel upgrade for it earlier today. First time I've done this, so took like 5 hours. Now.... I can't see my GPS in ANY aircraft, even the default ones. Does anyone have the default GPS folder and can I reinstall it please help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTweak Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Do a search in hte Library for FS9GPS.gau, or CAB, not sure which. I'll see if I can find it....Pretty sure it's a .gau file tho... Pat☺ Ok, I found this. It's the Garmin 430 and 530's in one package. I'll keep looking as I can... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Had a thought...then there was the smell of something burning, and sparks, and then a big fire, and then the lights went out! I guess I better not do that again!

old_wombat Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Don't panic yet. In your \Gauges folder, there should be a fs9gps.cab file of size 297K. All the standard GPS are in there. If it's not there, well, the original is on your install CDs. Steve from Mudgee Steve from Murwilllumbah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vride1 Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 not having success yet... I'll try the download though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vride1 Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 is there a way to install that GPS link above into all aircraft's cfg panels at once? Seems it all needs doing individually. Either that or is there a way to reset FS9 to an earlier time?? I found a fs9gps.cab file but it's 551K and it doesn't seem to be working. I must have edited the wrong cfg panel of the wrong aircraft and that messed the whole thing up. Assistance needed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_wombat Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Download???? From here???? Do you realize what you're asking? This site is so "correct"and "compliant" that it doesn't even allow discussion of "CD4 Crack Files", let alone hosting them. The file you seek is a Microsoft copyrighted file. It's existence alone on this web site would be almost certainly considered piracy. Go back to your CDs and hunt it down from them. To try to download it is to look for trouble. I mean that as sincere and friendly advice. Steve from Mudgee. Steve from Murwilllumbah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTweak Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Actually, the file I linked is in the Library here. It's just a Garmin 430 and 530 package. But I did receive, in a panel I downloaded (now please do not ask me which one), I think it's for a 737 or 747, was a FS9GPS.GAU, modified slightly from the original in that it has the wind-speed and direction displayed in the lower left corner of the display. I think they said you can use it in place of the original FS9GPS.GAU if you choose. Either that, or just don't overwrite during installation. I backed up my original, and installed the new one, and all the panels with a line for FS9GPS!GPS_500 or !GPS_295 or whatever use the new one. I love it. Otherwise you'll have to search for a replacement GPS and change each panel you want it used in to utilize the new one. There are many, and a lot included in panels for various aircraft. In the AM I'll try to work up a listing of the one's I've found and downloaded, I'm just too tired to do it this instant. They are all downloaded for the file library here, though, so all perfectly legal. You may wind up having to add the correct gauge to each panel, but generally it's merely a matter of replacing one "filename!gaugename" entry in the panel for another. Not difficult, just time-consuming is all, as if you find one you really like you'll have to replace the existing entry in every panel. As far as I know. Perhaps there is a trick to doing them all at once, but other than changing the file name of the new one to FS9GPS.GAU, so all the existing entries now use the new one. I can't speak to the legalities of it all though...

mrzippy Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Do your panel.cfg files for each aircraft have the proper entries for the fs9.gps? Do you think a replacement .cab would work? This also happened to me and I used this .cab file download to fix. http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?/files/file/1552-default-fsx-gps-gauge/ Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

StringBean Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I found a fs9gps.cab file but it's 551K and it doesn't seem to be working. That is the FSX version which will not work in FS9. You need to get the FS9 version from your discs. How to do that is explained here- http://www.cat-tamer.com/flightsim/faq001.html peace, the Bean WWOD---What Would Opa Do?

old_wombat Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 To get back to business... Bean gave you the correct answer; and I will insist that it is the BEST answer. Get the fs9gps.cab file from your install CDs, following the procedure in the link that he gave you, place it in your \Gauges folder. Once you've done that, everything should be back to normal, and you should need to do NOTHING more. There are two GPSs contained in that cab file: gps295 and gps500. So if your panel.cfg files contain lines that begin with something like either of: gauge00=fs9gps!gps_500, gauge00=fs9gps!gps_295, then all would be well. I wasn't accusing you of anything in my comment about legalities, and am relieved that you didn't take it that way. Nor did I think that in this day and age it would cause such a grass fire.
