Hey Dutch, while going through everything I could think of in solving the CTD issues, one of the things I tried was uninstalling the guage from the aircraft then doing a reinstall. When I went to reinstall I got an error box saying the installer encountered a problem and needs to close. I figured it out pretty quick as the panel.cfg wasn't changed back. Thankfully, your install saves a backup before it installs and uninstalls (great thinking ahead), so when I restored it, it worked great and the installer had no more issues. With that being said, is it possible on the uninstall for the program to just take "panel.cfg_before_fsc.cfg" and have it change the file name back to "panel.cfg". My main thought is it helps get everything back to pre-install if the user so wishes and helps in reinstalling everything should it become necessary, after all, not everyone is comfortable changing .cfg files for fear of losing functionality.

I thought of just deleting and renaming to make it easy -- but some of these guys out there (example, me) are panel.cfg tinkerers. If I just restore my save it could wipe out some legit changes made in the interval -- which interval could be months.
So I figured I'd try and back out the changes. A complex task.

Oh, well that makes sense. I bet as long as the manual touches on this somewhere there won't be an issue, but sense it caused me to stop, go tinkering, and solve the problem I figured I would mention it.
