• 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.

Help with XML gauge

Hello.
I'm trying to make working a starter push-button protected with a cap, but i'm a bit newbie...
I have 3 bitmaps: one with the cap over the start button, one with the start button uncapped, and one with start button uncapped and pushed.
I would like to make these actions: the first mouse-click open the cap, the second push the button under the cap and start the engine

I've started with this code, but I'm missing the opencap action:

<Gauge Name="Capped Start Button" Version="1.0">
<Element>
<Select>
<Value>(A:GENERAL SWITCH,bool)</Value>
<Case Value="0">
<Image Name="Button-capped.bmp" ImageSizes="130,224" />
</Case>
<Case Value="1">
<Image Name="Button-uncapped.bmp" ImageSizes="130,224" />
</Case>
</Select>
</Element>
<Element>
<Select>
<Value>(A:GENERAL ENG1 STARTER,bool)</Value>
<Case Value="0">
<Image Name="Button-uncapped.bmp" ImageSizes="130,224" />
</Case>
<Case Value="1">
<Image Name="Button-uncapped-pressed.bmp" ImageSizes="130,224" />
</Case>
</Select>
</Element>
<Mouse>
<Tooltip id="TOOLTIPTEXT_STARTER_SWITCH" />
<Cursor Type="Hand" />
<Click Event="ENGINE_AUTO_START" />
</Mouse>
</Gauge>

Any help is welcome

Well for a start there's no variable "A:GENERAL SWITCH".

You're also missing the position tags for the bitmaps, though I don't know if they default to 0 if unspecified.

Put: GaugeDevDebug=1 in your [PANELS] section of fsx.cfg and that might reveal to you some errors when the gauge first loads.
