Hi. I'm getting a CC_Engine_Control.GAU CTD when I load FS9 with both the DC-6 and DC-7...any ideas?

Hi,
Unfortunately some computer systems are just not compatible with it, for some unknown reason. The only option I know is to comment out the 3 control gauges. From the text file:
IF THIS PLANE CRASHES YOUR COMPUTER
If you get a crash when loading this plane:
1. Open the relevant panel.cfg file and edit it. You can find this panel's panel.cfg file by going to the plane's folder, opening the panel folder, and opening the panel.cfg file. This will provide an alias to the actual panel.cfg file's location, which you should then open.
1. Find the following lines near the bottom of the panel.cfg file, in a VCockpit section:
gauge38=CC_Engine_Control!Engine_Control, 8,8,5,5
gauge39=cv340!ENGINE_AUTOSTART_2, 5,5,11,11
gauge40=Z_DC6KMTG!AIRCRAFT_RELOAD, 10,10,11,11
Note that the gauge numbers may be different.
2. Edit these lines by adding a // in front of each line to inactivate them.
//gauge38=CC_Engine_Control!Engine_Control, 8,8,5,5
//gauge39=cv340!ENGINE_AUTOSTART_2, 5,5,11,11
//gauge40=Z_DC6KMTG!AIRCRAFT_RELOAD, 10,10,11,11
3. Open the plane's aircraft.cfg file and find this line in the [piston engine] section:
normalized_starter_torque=0.30 //can be 0.035000 for no RPM Control Gauge (FSX, etc.)
Change the 0.30 to 0.035:
normalized_starter_torque=0.035 //can be 0.035000 for no RPM Control Gauge (FSX, etc.)
4. Save the file and check if the plane still crashes your computer. If so, you can post a message at my Discussion forum for more assistance.
Sorry,

Thanks for responding!..This is what I see in the panel configs for the DC-6 and DC-7...(I know this isn't complete.)
[fltsim]
alias=dc6pnlKMCC

//If you use the DC-7 IFR Panel, change the line above to:
alias=dc7pnlkmcc

Hi,
They are in the Aircraft/dc6pnlkmcc and Aircraft/dc7pnlkmcc folders.

ok i "//" these lines (gauge cv340!ENGINE_AUTOSTART_2 was written as Z_DC6KMTG!ENGINE_AUTOSTART_4)
//gauge73=CC_Engine_Control!Engine_Control, 8,8,5,5
//gauge74=Z_DC6KMTG!ENGINE_AUTOSTART_4, 5,5,11,11
//gauge75=Z_DC6KMTG!AIRCRAFT_RELOAD, 10,10,11,11
The plane loads fine now , but I have a black 2d panel and double gauges in the vc...

Do you have main.bmp, main_1610.bmp, and main_wide.bmp in the dc6pnlkmcc and dc7pnlkmcc folders?
