• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Converting old gauges.

Hi

I'm using and old GAU, whether it is FS2002 or FS2004 I do not know. But I can say so much that is a HJG GAU ;-)

When importing the aircraft into FSX, I get a warning about it, and a question if I want to run it... If I accept this it runs fine.

But the reason it ask, is that FSX is not certain that it will run correctly.... So do anyone know if there is a quick and dirty way to upgrade a GAU to FSX, or is it only possible if you have the source?

Click to expand...

If the gauge "runs" after you accept it, then nothing more needs to be done. You are being asked if you want to "TRUST" this gauge, because it is not "code-signed." Once you've "Accepted" it, the gauge will be added to your "Trusted List" maintained in the fsx.cfg file. BTW, this is a "Windows thing" and really has nothing to do with FSX per se. :)

And no, you cannot edit or upgrade a compiled .gau file, unless you have the original source code. Period. ;)
