• 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.

MSFS20 Emmissive Instruments Control?

What did you do to get the gauge to display "non-emissive?". This is the problem we are having. They only show in the emissive channel. I have also tried using the hourmeter form the default cessna, and it goes straight away into the emissive channel... also my gauges background is always black no matter what....
I imagine that "virtualcockpit" is the material name and then you added texture channels for albedo and emissive? In my experience, adding anything to these channels does nothing...

Yes, simply add albedo and emissive textures to a simple MSFS Standard material and setup the panel.cfg to use backlight = 1. Switching the panel light on/off turns the emissive on/off.

The hourmeter from the C152 works fine on a very basic material where only the material name is defined (no textures used at all) but this gauge is not emissive.

The C152 radios only show up if there is an emissive, I assume this is something in the coding of the gauges themselves as their display is red led lights and haven't looked at it too closely yet.

I do not use any XML gauges.
