Cessna Turn indicator instrument missing/not visible

[Phantax]

One of the instruments on my Cessna is missing. I think (hopefully not making myself seem too dumb here) its referred to as the turn indicator. The one that's half blue/brown and shows how many degrees the plane is banking.
Anyway, as I said its just not there, its like there is a hole in the cockpit where the instrument should be and you can see straight out in front of the plane.

Any help appreciated ! ?

This looks like your Turn_indicator gauge is missing.

Strange, as according to the panel.cfg file, this gauge is part of the Cessna.dll , located in the gauges folder of your FSX SE installation.

Cessna.dll is 2367 Kb on my rig.

Any chance it got damaged on yours ?
Any modification right there, or in the panel.cfg file of the Cessna 172 ?

I have the same problem and i didn't fixes yet

[Dr Nico]

You mean, only the turn indicator is broken ? in the VC only ? or also in the 2D panel ?

i am very new to Steam , But very familiar w/FS ...I just installed FSX via Steam. when choosing my plane , I in error did not chose to run/accept the .dll files.which are the missing gauges. How can i correct this?

Try verifying the integity of the game files. You may have a corrupt file

[Erazer]

1. Right-click the FSX entry and choose Properties.
2. Open the Local Files tab and click on 'Verify Integrity of Game Files' to run the utility.

NB When you have just installed FSX you should run this utility anyway as the installation is very rarely 100% complete.

If you do a re-install the same proviso applies.

Just in case: https://dovetailgames.kayako.com/knowledgebase/article/View/78/0/how-do-i-reinstall-microsoft-flight-simulator-x-steam-edition

If you do re-install at any stage you have to follow these instructions to the letter otherwise FSX just won't work 100% correctly.

If you ever have a start-up problem just clear the Download cache and take note of the advice given by Steam when you do.

With a correct installation - and verification - of FSX this shouldn't be necessary.

It often applies to any add-ons you may want to install.

Problem Solved... The next time I chose an aircraft model for the first time, I will just accect all file (.dll) steam offers when loading an aircraft.

Yes, that would be a good idea.
The problem with this sim is that many gauges rely on third-party modules that contain program code. Basically if you won't accept them as trusted, they won't work. On the other hand you need to be sure that what you're accepting is part of the addon you have installed and not some malware.

Perfect. :-)

You are sometimes given a choice of loading once only, to try things out, or fully trusting the file when it will always load automatically in future.

I'm learning that now....

Licopolis: That was my issue, I am somewhat apprehensive about DL/adding random files to my PC... seeing I had just reinstalled the Windows on my PC due malware.

Is it possible to find a FREE addon aircraft that is easy to install (FSX Steam ed.). 1 in particular , The C-17 Globemaster 3 (and possibly a cessna 182)...
