Hi John

try rearranging [Window01] and [Window02] to look like this:

[Window01]
size_mm=900, 250
windowsize_ratio=0.600
position=4
BACKGROUND_COLOR=0,0,0
visible=0
ident=Engine_state

gauge00=Viper!Statem, 0, 0, 900, 250
gauge01=Viper!State1, 0, 0, 1, 1
gauge02=Viper!State2, 0, 0, 1, 1

[Window02]
Background_color=0,0,0
no_luminous=1
size_mm=1024, 170
position=7
visible=0
window_size=1.000, 0.170
ident=10901
zorder=2

gauge00=CSWeapon_panel!CSWeapon_panel, 0, 0, 1024, 170

I don't know if that is causing your problem, but it looks like [Window02] is placed right in the middle of [Window01]. And also that the CSWeapon_panel gauge is gauge11=... instead of gauge00=...

Do you need to have the CSWeapon_panel.cab in this: C\FSX\Simobjects\Airplanes\Aersoft F-16A9\panel folder? It is already in the FSX\gauges folder. FSX looks in the Panel folder first, then the gauges folder unless it is told to look somewhere else.

Whether this is what is causing your problem, I don't know, but fixing that might help you somewhere.
