I have a problem installing program correctly. I downloaded the latest file from AVSIM. Initially I moved all the files manually to their correct locations using the pdf readme.txt as guidance and manually amended the config files. My initial attempt resulted in nothing visible when I started FSX and selected a CS-B737-200 version 1.6. There was nothing on the simicon panel nor was V-One visible in the Views-Instrument panel.
For my second attempt I dragged and merged the folders and copy and pasted the cfg amendments. This time on starting FSX the simicon panel has the V-1 and data card icons but none of the CS system icons. Clicking on the V-1 icons does not visibly activate any program. The views-Instrument drop down panel still has not got the V-One option. I've checked in 2-D and 3-D.
Does anyone have any helpful suggestions on where my installation is wrong.
I had some issues installing 1.6 and after a couple of hours of installing / uninstalling I decided to restart my computer. That did the trick for me.
If you're not seeing any of the CS icons then your 1.6 installation of may not have worked.
Things to check:
1. Are the V-One folder and files present in
'\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\CS_B737-200\panel\V-One'?
2. Check the
panel.cfg for:

3. If you're installing 1.6 and plan on keeping:
3a. Do not change the
[TurbineEngineData] section as described in the readme.txt as CS changed the flight model and is not needed.
3b. Do not install gauge
CS737_ApuGenGrdPwr_Complete as CS changed the flight model and is not needed.
3c. Do not install gauge
CivaHdgDisplay as CIVA does not work any more in 1.6
