I know I did it once before but I can't for the life of me remember how to put a gauges folder outside o0f P3d. I did it to make the ILH TCAS gauge work in P3d v3. Can anyone remind me how to do this?

Have a look inside your
ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D folder.
There you can find a file called "gauges.cfg".
Inside there, you can add a path optionally. In my case, I did make an additional entry because I have many FSX aircraft I want to work in my P3D as well without copying them all into my P3D.
This works for all paths - simobjects, effects, gauges.
Here my entries:
(Entry.0 is default by P3D)
In bold red you can decide where to place your gauges and let P3D find them.
[Entry.0]
PATH=Gauges
TITLE=Default Gauges
ACTIVE=true
REQUIRED=true
[Entry.1]
PATH=E:\FSX\Gauges
TITLE=FSX Default Aircraft Gauges
ACTIVE=true
REQUIRED=true
Hope this is the correct answer to your question :wavey:
