Hey Guys,

If a package is installed into Prepar3D, and one has Windows 7, do you need to enter the GaugeSound.dll into your DLL.XML list manually or does it miraculously just work?

In Windows XP, my GaugeSound.dll just works. Nothing to do.

I run Win 7 64 and I don't see a reference to that dll file in my dll.xml file in P3D or FSX.

I would assume so, its not referenced in FSXes dll.xml either and it work automatically there (I assume).

Bill, just as in the case of FS9 and FSX, simply drop GaugeSound.dll in the root folder of ..\Prepar3D. That's it. Nothing else to do!

You see, whenever any gauge calls for GaugeSound.dll to be loaded, it will default to looking in the root folder of whatever sim version is being used:


if (MGaugeSound == NULL) {MGaugeSound = LoadLibrary("GaugeSound");}
