• 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.

How to display a FS9/FSX gauge in P3DV2 ?

Hi everyone,

I would like to use a Differential Cabin Pressure and Cabin Climb gauge in P3DV2.

The gauge initially was written for FS9, as a ".gau" file.*
It is displayed in FSX and works.

In P3DV2 I have no error message but the gauge is not displayed : the background .bmp file of the gauge and the .bmp files of the needles.
(using FS Panel Studio I checked that all those .bmp files are in the .gau file).

My question is : are there .bmp format specifications to display gauges in P3DV2 that are diffrent from FSX ?

How could I modify those .bmp to have them displayed in P3DV2 ?

Thank you very much.
 
My guess is it's not the bitmaps, but rather a missing run-time library. msvcrt.dll or msvcrt70.dll most likely.
 
Do you know where they should be ?

(I'm running W7-64 bits).

I have msvcrt.dll in the Windows\System directory.

Is msvcrt70 usefull in this case ?
