I am clearly doing something silly with the installation of the -300. The unzipped gauges files presumably go in the main FS9 gauges folder (and the unzipped ML-BAe146v40HJG zip file as well). But do the config files go there as well? This is what I have done but at the moment I have just the bitmaps showing with no gauges and nothing whatsoever being clickable. Nowhere in the readme.installation txt files does there seem to be any mention of the gauge files - where have I gone wrong?

Rob .... my understanding is (and I'm still learning things regarding this great new panel) is as follows ....
All 7 individual components which make up the content of the Gauges file downloaded with the main panel files .... including the CFG file too .... everything there .... "MUST" be installed inside the FS9 "GAUGES" folder .... do not put any of these gauges files inside the main aircraft Panel file as is common practice with a lot of other FS aircraft or the panel simply won't work.
All the contents of the Sound file downloaded with the main panel files "MUST" be installed inside the FS9 "SOUNDS" folder. Do not confuse this with our new/seperately downloadable BAe/ARJ soundpack though. This aircraft soundpack "MUST" be installed inside the actual BAe 146-300 "AIRCRAFT" folder as is common practice with most othert FS aircraft.
The contents of the Panel file downloaded with the main panel file (19 files in total .... 17 bitmaps and 1 PANEL.CFG file) "MUST" be installed inside the "PANEL" folder contained within the seperately downloadable BAe 146-300 "AIRCRAFT BASE PACK" .... in the process of doing so just ovewrite the default PANEL.CFG file that contained within this default Panel folder.
PLEASE NOTE: As the BAe 146 panel sound files apparently contain authentic AP disconnect tones for this aircraft typ, you should therefore open the SOUND:CFG folder contained inside our seperately downloadable "BAe 146/ARG SOUNDPACK" and identify the section named "AUTOPILOT" .... by default it will look like this ....
[AP_DISENGAGE_SOUND]
filename=caapdis
maximum_volume=12000
Change the last line (VOLUME=) so that in then looks like as is bold typed below ....
[AP_DISENGAGE_SOUND]
filename=caapdis
maximum_volume=0
This edit will then ensure the BAe 146 panel suplied AP sound is prioritized over anything else
Again I must stress .... this is a great but complex new panel. It is absolutely essential folk invest a little time to read/study the manual provided .... in order to develop a good understanding this panel and its many functions and so enjoy this aircraft to "THE MAX".
I hope the above notes will be of assistance to anyone who's unsure or may be experiencing difficulties.

Thanks for that. I thought they were going in the correct place. I'll investigate further. Have no fear, I will be studying the manual - experience with providing support on the PSS Airbus family has taught me that pilots not reading the documentation is the cause of many problems and I don't wish to be considered a muppet!

Hi Mark, hi Rob
Thank you very much for the compliment. I just could give it back to the soundset which is wonderful, Mark.
About the manual: Well, yes it's quite a bit to read in the beginning. But I'm sure after two or three flights with the panel you won't need it any more.
Best Regards
Matthias

I was being a muppet after all: I had unzipped the ML-BAe146v40HJG.zip file contained within the gauges folder. There is no need to. Everything is now fine, thanks. This really does look like an excellent aircraft and panel.
