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.

Hello Jonas,
just have a look into the SDK, open the cab-file of a quite simple FS9-gauge and have a look into the XML-Code. That's the way I learned programming XML-gauges.

Hi!
I want to make some guages for my B737 - 800 panel in FS2004. But i can't find a good tutorial to start with... Do anyone know a good tutorial?
Sorry for my bad english!
/Jonas
That depends! What type of gauges? C++ or XML?
If XML, grab the SDK and then start here: http://fs2x.com/Tutorials.htm
I've started to do one in c/c++ but i'm going to look at that too!

For C gauges, use Dai Griffith's most excellent book, sd2gau23.zip available at both avsim.com and flightsim.com... It is only its 23rd revision now, and Dai's working on rev24 now.
Also, see the extensive sticky posts in my Panel & Gauges forum at flightsim.com, as well as the relevant Wiki entries from there as well.
I just want to heap some praise for Dai and the incredibly usefullness of his tutorial. It is the "missing manual" for gauge programming that the SDK just doesn't give you.
