• 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.

Panel.cfg... Negative gauge position values?

Based on my search results and reading, it appears that using negative values in the panel.cfg gauge placement lines is a problem for FSX. I was not able to find clarification on whether this is true in FSX 2D panels, or only in the VC.

Of course it does work "most" of the time in FS9, but I felt it worth reconsidering my occasional use of negative placement values.

Thanks for any input.
 
I've had one experience of this and then I found that the negative values were treated as zero in FSX. They worked correctly in FS9.

I've found that negative placement values in FS9 don't work! either the gauge doesn't show or if it does it doesn't work!

C gauges (.gau) work just fine with negative X values.

XML gauges on the other hand do not work with negative X values
 
Thanks for the feedback. I've decided to rebuild any prior instances of negative placement values, even if they seemed to be working.

That's odd that it doesn't work in your FS9. I have a windscreen wiper from my wide panel that I ported to a 1920x1080 version of the cockpit, this makes the gauge have coordinates -271,0,970,585 and it works fine.

I put the same panel in FSX, and that gauge was drawn at 0,0,970,585 - it still worked but obviously looked very strange so I had to make a different version!
