Is there a program available anywhere which compares the gauges used
in the various panels, with the gauges resident in the "Gauges"
folder, and then deletes all the redundant gauges in the "Gauges"
folder?

Hi Walter,

FS Panel Studio:

http://www.fspanelstudio.com/

It has a Gauge Cleanup option among the Tools drop-down menu, which
sounds like what you're after, mate.

Regards,
John Ward

Do you really want to do that? Unless you're extremely hard-up for disk space,
why not just leave them?

Flightsim manager will do that, and it also can look for other double
entries like scenery errors and most of what you need to keep FS9 in top
shape.

Only problem is, the develloper has build in a out of date check, but
stopped develloping some time in 2006, so you have to turn back your system
time to before Dec. 1st 2006, to make it run :o(

On the upside, it can do a lot of good stuff for your sim, like installing
sceneries and A/C's automatically, and tweak your settings for optimal
performance :o)

Actually I think that should be Dec 1st 2005 - but in any case a small
utility previously posted here (by Danny, I think) will overcome that
without turning your system clock back.
Get it here:

Sorry guys, don't know why that didn't come out as a hyperlink - still
trying to get to grips with Windows Live Mail - you'll have to cut and paste
till I do :-)

If ,when you install manually a pannel you put the gauges into the file
"panel" of each a/craft
and not into "gauges", your problem is solved. If autoinstalling, you
can move'em after
choosing'em by the date or name.

WOW!!! Been THAT long? And I've just only turned 45 yesterday, how time
flies ;o)

Yes you are right it's all the way back to 2005, and that little time warp
program you linked to, is all it needs to run at pressent day, even on Win7
Pro 64bit :o)

Yet one more reason for not going to FSX :o)

Thanks to everyone who offered suggestions. Most helpful.

And yes, Mxsmanic, that's a very valid point you raised. Still
thinking about that one. It seems I'm still stuck in the past when
one had to watch the disk space like a hawk. Either that or my anal
retentiveness is getting out of hand again. ;-)
