    Are your gauges dirty? Are you thinking along the line of corrupted gauges? gauges_recovery_fsx.zip I know it's available at flightsim.com

    I think that Taco is referring to an application that cleans/removes unwanted and unused gauges.

    Correct, That's what I am looking for after so many years and aircraft changes I go so many in the file that are not usable.

    I'll look around, but find it difficult to believe a 3rd party program will be able to recognize that a gauge in your Main Gauges folder is not needed or used by your Sim anymore.

    My solution, a long time ago, was to place any needed gauges into the aircraft's panel folder and not into the Main Gauges folder.

    That would be Flusifix? But you're still running Windows XP... (perish the thought)

    Does this work on a modern OS?

    No thoughts need to be perished! Works fine for me! S'matter, won't work on your "new" OS?

    It works fine on a Win7 64 bit system for me! Very handy little tool for lots of things in FSX. You would be surprised how much junk ends up in the gauges folder after a while. Works as advertised.

    It can be found here at Avsim: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/3...ated-20100208/

    Be careful with this as you can change stuff you do not want changed with realising it it is a bit counter intuitive at time - I recommend you read the menu carefully associated with what sub menu and bit it can change which is just about everything associated with your config file.

    I just tried and the link works for me.
    Rats - why won't anything work properly first time?

    I still have it in a folder. I guess Wolfgang shut his site down. PM me with an email.

    The link to the AVSIM thread works, but not the link to Wolfgang's site.
