I'm having trouble understanding what you're asking here.
It sounds like you're having installation problems. You might try talking to the developer of the addon. If you're having problems, others probably are as well.

Greetings again, Joshua:>ben thanks for replying , when/download say a plane -
>boeing 747 and zip it to the proper folder it loads , but
>when i take the gauge folder and zip it to the gauge
>folder it wont load - un less i load it bit by bit within
>the folder
It sounds like when you unzip to the gauge folder it's creating sub folders (I say this because aircraft have several sub folders, and since it works when you unzip into an aircraft folder, it must be making sub folder). Guages won't be read by subfolders under guages unless specifically pointed to them by panel.cfg.
Does that answer your question?

Hi,Welcome to VPC. The quick way to reply to your post if I understand this correctly is :-
You download a 3rd party aircraft in a zip file. You then have to extract the files from this zip format. If you have Winzip 7 or higher then when you set it up set it to extract to Original Folders. You will also see that it will probably place the Gauges folder inside the Aircraft folder so just copy and paste from the sub gauges folder to the FS Gauges folder.
Some 3rd party aircraft (due to incompatability) may not load.
Regards,
James.
