F18 missing gauges

[Lipra]

I have 2 rather large square holes where there should be gauges. Can anyone advise on a repair of the files to reinstate them.

Dunno about repair, can you name the gauge and a screenshot if the missing appear in the VC?

Hi dangerous
I have looked for the file simconnect.dll which i think should be on my system and its not there is it possible to get the missing file(s) I have done a google search and am not sure what I am looking for. I am reluctant to reinstall again as I have put on a lot of freeware etc. for just one aircraft

regards

I have installed ( I hope correctly) under the instructions of Nils the SDK but still no guages. Not sure where to go now

Had same problem. Will reply from home with location of simmconnect files. At work now sorry... I think you will find the MFD's in the EH 101 also missing. Mine were, but the simmconnect files fixed it.

Found my other post on the FSdreamteam forum =
YES!! A problem with Simmconnect. Been there, done that , to get my Track IR working after installing Acceleration. went into Windows\winsxs and copied all the Simmconnect files into a backup folder. Then did the Acceleration repair thing. Had panels, but no Track IR again. Copied the missing file out of the backup folder, to winsxs again, Voila! everything works !
So the Simmconnect is in C:\Windows\winxs... put them in a back-up folder, then run the Acceleration install disc, and tell it to repair.
Good Luck

I hope the SimConnect thing fixes it. I had the same problem. For me it was a total format that fixed it. *gulp*
