What sim are you installing to ? P3D requires a tweak for the gauges.

Hi Dayle,
Patrick was getting at the right concept but don't think he had the advantage of just having done it successfully like I do at this moment having just completed installing the Beaver into P3Dv2. So here is what worked for me:
(by the way, make sure the Estonia Migration Tool is disabled as this process does not use it)
1. Go to your Control Panel and select Uninstall a Program. Then check to see if Aerosoft's-Beaver X is showing as installed. If so, uninstall it because the installer will not work if it sees that the Windows installed programs and features already thinks that the Aerosoft Beaver X is installed.
2. Create a dummy FSX folder on the desktop with nothing in it.
3. Go inside the FSX folder and create a dummy fsx.exe by creating a .txt file and renaming it.
4. Next run the Aerosoft Beaver X installer pointing it at the FSX folder. It should then run and give you and ending error about missions. This error occurs because the installer tries to update the FSCategories.xml file that is missing in your dummy folder set. This particular process I am describing is not designed to transfer the Beaver X missions into Prepar3D.
5. Then copy over the Aerosoft folder into the main Prepar3D folder and merge the SimObjects folder contents and the Effects folder contents into the matching Prepar3D sub folders. You dont' need the rest.
6. Then click on
http://www.return.mistymoorings.com/web files/BeaverCab.zip to download a revised beaver.cab file that you will need. Back up the original beaver.cab file you find in the ...Prepar3D\SimObjects\Airplanes\Aerosoft Beaver Standard Wheels\Panel folder and replace it with the one you downloaded using the above link.
I hope it works for you as it worked for me.
