FSX Utility for Aircraft.cfg

[WarHorse47]

I used to have several utility programs for FS9 that I used for scanning the aircraft.cfg files for any entry errors such as missing texture folders, etc.

Is there anything specific to FSX that does the same??

Thanks

Will this help? In your Flight Simulator X there is a folder named 'Gauges' it contains files 'gauges' representative board instrumentation for each add-on, such as the autopilot, the horizon indicator etc, if you delete one of these files, your panel will not display the gauge that it was programmed. It is the same for the folder 'Effects' that contains all the special effects in FSX, it sometimes happens that some files in these folders disappear leaving your simulator in a situation where you no longer see your instrument panel (black screens) and afetburner invisible. Under these conditions, you reinstall FSX and lose a lot of time (and patience). This program does restore the original files from Microsoft FSX FSX SP1, FSX SP2 and not the files from other publishers, no changes will be made to these files.

Some people see the gauges all black (black screens), unless FSX is installed correctly. The solution to this problem is to install the files MSVCP70.DLL and msvcr70.dll in your 'system32', Gauges Recovery does this automatically for you.

You could try ACA2007 lite (http://aifs2.pvdveen.net/?page_id=11) or AI Aircraft Editor (http://www.interkultur.de/gossmann/fsx/tools.php)

Both are designed for AI aircraft, but they work the same for user aircraft too.

ACA2007 lite is what I've been using for FS9, and somewhat for FSX. The problem is that with FSX it gives false errors whenever textures are aliased to another aircraft.

Yesterday, I tried their latest version 1.0.6 (I believe) and it creates an exception error under Win8. Fortunately, I had a copy of their earlier version 1.0.0 that still works but with the false readings as stated.
