• 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.

    FS2004 Davtron M803: Function Implementation Issues (SOLVED)

    Success I created my own version of a chrono guage in FS9 then coverted it to FSX Schema. It was almost twice the size when all the extra tags were inserted!!!! The image below that shows the gauge in it's 3 states, while below it is incorporated into my flight-debug utility guage. I use this...

    FS2004 Davtron M803: Function Implementation Issues (SOLVED)

    Thanks for the quick response Antaris, I hope your house overhaul goes well. I will make an attempt with your code, but as this will be my first attempt never having written one line of code using the FS 9 schema I am not hopeful. Maybe Heretic if he reads this message will take pity on me and...

    FS2004 Davtron M803: Function Implementation Issues (SOLVED)

    Hi Antaris I am attempting to create a utility gauge to aid in debugging a mission and have some 20 elements all working and decided to add an element showing elapsed time hrs minutes secs with a reset; your snippet appears to do exactly this, nothing fancy just the elapsed time in a box...

    FSX ACE xml schema if condition

    Thanks Heretic, all working My mind was getting scrambled the number of times I cut and pasted areas of code. Incidently it works if both are millibars as well BrianB

    FSX ACE xml schema if condition

    Thanks Heretic The code to display the expression result correcty is <GaugeString>\{fnt1}\{clr2}EXP RESULT\{fnt}\{clr}%((A:SEA LEVEL PRESSURE, inHG) (A:KOHLSMAN SETTING HG, inHG) - abs 0.005 &lt;=) %!1.3f!\{fnt1}\{fnt}</GaugeString> This is working correctly now and changes from 0.000 to 1.000...

    FSX ACE xml schema if condition

    Thanks all Unless code is in as post #10 the "expression result" 'gaugestring' does not parse correctly and display 0.000 or 1.000. in 'expression' itself for evaluation I do not have the additional parenthesis. I have now isolated this from my original gauge into the mini test gauge below nd...

    OOPS! Mybad copy and paste to the post <GaugeString>\{fnt1}\{clr2}EXP\{fnt}\{clr}%(((A:SEA LEVEL PRESSURE, inHG) (A:KOHLSMAN SETTING HG, inHG) - abs) 0.01 &gt;=) %!1.4f!\{fnt1}\{fnt}</GaugeString> SAME output as post#8 BrianB

    FSX ACE xml schema if condition

    It shouldn't be. pressing "B" key copies Sea Level To Kohlsman set. But even when trying with rounding both to 2 dec places I am sure I got the same result but will check again. Also the code is checking for 0.01 difference <GaugeString>\{fnt1}\{clr2}EXP\{fnt}\{clr}%((A:SEA LEVEL PRESSURE...

    FSX ACE xml schema if condition

    I have been trying multiple variations including changing to millibars instead of inHG in case that was the problem. I have added an element to display the expression result. By changing &gt;= to &lt;= the result changes to 1 or 0 initially therefore the true or false is evaluating correctly BUT...

    FSX ACE xml schema if condition

    Thanks for the quick responses guys but neither worked, I had previously tried %(A:SEA LEVEL PRESSURE, inHG) (A:KOHLSMAN SETTING HG, inHG) - abs 0.01 &gt;= as sugested by taguilo but had a % as above, now removed and also edited the macro to FSX schema and removed the % in my code. I added a...

    Nav1 Radio Button

    Thanks Heretic for a quick response You can put anything in the tooltip <DefaultScript> ; it is tooltip <DefaultId> which must be specific The <ClickType> does not appear to be case sensitive as other working elements have 'leftSingle'. I did however forget to add the comments line above the...

    Nav1 Radio Button

    I have created a 'heads up' gauge for the Baron58 and am having trouble with just one button. All other elements of the gauge display and work correctly using fsx ACE xml and can be changed at will. Can any one supply the code and syntax to toggle the Nav1 radio button on and off for the Bendix...
