I have a frustrating issue in FS 2004 that I can't resolve. When flying the Embraer 120, the gauges will disappear anytime during the flight and never will return. It can happen during take off, cruise, etc. When this occurs the plane continues as if nothing happened, and I can control it as normal. Just black spaces where the gauges are. The autopilot also stops working. This plane and the Saab 340 are the only two that this happens in. It looks like these are the same gauges used with the default King Air.
Has anyone else experienced the same issue??

No, haven't been near the place. wink
I do need to add that I am using the DVA Embraer, including the panel.

This sounds like it could be a video card problem. Do you have the latest drivers for your video card? Also if that doesn't fix the problem, I would uninstall the EMB-120 plane, reboot, and reinstall the plane.

You might have a corrupted install of our DVA fleet aircraft. Here is a quick procedure for installing our aircraft.

To install the fleet EMB-120 airplane,

1. Turn off all antivirus and antispyware software on your system.
2. Uninstall the airplane from your control panel "Add/Remove Software" if you unsuccessfully tried to install it..
3. Download and run the Registry Fixer from our Fleet Library to restore your registry pointers to Flight Sim.
4. Reboot your computer and again, turn off all antivirus and antispyware software on your system.
5. Download the new aircraft from the Fleet Library and run the install.
6. Now you can re-enable your antivirus and antispyware software on your system.

Hope this helps! smile

If you follow the checklist I bet this problem goes away. You turn the generators on...?

Thanks Jim. I'll try your recommendation.
Dean, I usually do an auto start, and besides this happened again last night in my 737-400, and the generator stays on after its started.

Well, I believe the problem was a corrupted aircraft install. I ran the Registry Fixer, as Jim stated above, and that fixed the issue. Thanks.
