[RESOLVED] files missing after installation of Prepar3Dv5.3

Post by springborn »

Some of the cab-files necessary for running the gauges of C130 Hercules like C130.Main or C130.Left
> were not installed in the gauges directory of my recently installed version of Prepar3Dv5.3 while some others like C130 Engine or C130 Overhead were.

What went wrong?

Hello Praslin ,

They are not CAB's in my P3Dv4 or v5.

What are you missing when you load the aircraft ?

Hello Martyson,

The cab-files are needed for the panel of the C130!
I am wondering if they are contained in one of the cont-files for Prepar3D5.3 or if they were simply forgotten.

Hello Vaughan Martell!

The panels are there in any version of the C130. The problem is that they don't show the gauges due to the absence of the mentioned cab-files.

My problem has been solved.
After downloading the full installer package and after running the repair function of the program alle the previously missing files were there.
