• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Guage Value Not Shown, How?

Hey guys,

Ok.. I have stumbled onto several gauges (while looking for Value calls), and find that these have no Values mentioned in them.

Can the 'Value' be in the name of the gauge?


Here is an example...

Code: 
<Gauge Name="Annunciator Aft Door" Version="1.0">
   <Element>
      <Select>
         <Value>0</Value>
         <Failures>
            <SYSTEM_ELECTRICAL_PANELS Action="0"/>
         </Failures>
         <Case Value="1">
            <Image Name="Annun_AftDoor_on.bmp" Bright="Yes" ImageSizes="30,10,48,16"/>
         </Case>
      </Select>
   </Element>
   <Mouse>
      <Help ID="HELPID_GAUGE_ANNUNCIATOR_AFT_DOOR"/>
   </Mouse>
</Gauge>

Oh, the <Value> is there alright! It's zero!

<Value>0</Value>

Apparently it is a gauge that "someone" never finished, 'cause it won't do a durn thing! :eek:
 
Hmmm... Ok.. then it isnt some sort of magic gauge with secret Values I didnt know about. I have found several like this now in the same CAB folder.

I thought maybe if the Element had <Element Name.... > then it was linked to its Value function.

:rolleyes:

Well, syntax wise the format is perfect. It needs only a proper variable in the <Value>xxx</Value> tag, such as:

Code: 
<Gauge Name="Annunciator Aft Door" Version="1.0">
   <Element>
      <Select>
         <Value>[COLOR="Red"][B](A:Exit Open:2,percent) 0 &gt;[/B][/COLOR]</Value>
         <Failures>
            <SYSTEM_ELECTRICAL_PANELS Action="0"/>
         </Failures>
         <Case Value="1">
            <Image Name="Annun_AftDoor_on.bmp" Bright="Yes" ImageSizes="30,10,48,16"/>
         </Case>
      </Select>
   </Element>
   <Mouse>
      <Help ID="HELPID_GAUGE_ANNUNCIATOR_AFT_DOOR"/>
   </Mouse>
</Gauge>
 
Ahhh....

So it is percent on the door. I had started in the right direction at least.

I tried yours and edited it a bit and got it to work with my plane per the following;
Code: 
<Visible>(A:Exit Open,percent) 0 &gt;</Visible>

I changed it to 'Visible' as it was 'always on' with Value. That seemed to make a big difference. I failed to recognise you also need a SemiColon behind the 'greater then' section. arrghh..


Many thanks Fr. Bill!
