FSX luminous problem

[tomerh]

hi..

In my panel.cfg in color section i code:

Luminous=233,109,72

and in window section: no_luminous=0

I use custom gauge coded with: luminous=yes

the problem is that luminous work with light on and off, also..

how can I fix this problem ?

another question.. is there way to set 2D panel to be more darker at night (with light off)

Hi,

You can't affect the behavior of the luminous setting directly - if the lights are on, it is luminous on.

You can use XML code within the gauges to swap gauge code so that if a custom light switch ((L:CENT_LITE, bool) in the example below) is turned on it uses the code with luminous = true and if turned off it uses the code with luminous = false (or not present in the code).

Here is an example:

Code for custom L: variable OFF (!):

 <Element>
      <Visible>(L:CENT_LITE, bool) !</Visible>
      <Position X="0" Y="0"/>
      <Image Name="CP_CYL_TEMP_FACE.bmp" ImageSizes="270,300"/>

   <Element>
    <Position X="34" Y="146"/>
      <Image Name="LEFT_ND.bmp" PointsTo="East" ImageSizes="86,9">
         <Axis X="0" Y="4.5"/>
      </Image>
      <Rotate>
         <Value Minimum="-50" Maximum="300">(L:CHT_1,number)</Value>
         <Failures>
            <SYSTEM_ELECTRICAL_PANELS Action="0"/>
         </Failures>
         <Nonlinearity>
            <Item Value="300" X="81" Y="64"/>
            <Item Value="200" X="106" Y="133"/>
            <Item Value="100" X="106" Y="166"/>
            <Item Value="0" X="98" Y="198"/>
            <Item Value="-50" X="80" Y="235"/>
         </Nonlinearity>
         <Delay DegreesPerSecond="45"/>
      </Rotate>
   </Element>
</Element>

Code when custom L: variable is ON (not !):

<Element>
      <Visible>(L:CENT_LITE, bool)</Visible>
      <Position X="0" Y="0"/>
      <Image Name="CP_CYL_TEMP_FACE.bmp" ImageSizes="270,300" Luminous="Yes"/>

   <Element>
    <Position X="34" Y="146"/>
      <Image Name="LEFT_ND.bmp" PointsTo="East" ImageSizes="86,9" Luminous="Yes">
         <Axis X="0" Y="4.5"/>
      </Image>
      <Rotate>
         <Value Minimum="-50" Maximum="300">(L:CHT_1,number)</Value>
         <Failures>
            <SYSTEM_ELECTRICAL_PANELS Action="0"/>
         </Failures>
         <Nonlinearity>
            <Item Value="300" X="81" Y="64"/>
            <Item Value="200" X="106" Y="133"/>
            <Item Value="100" X="106" Y="166"/>
            <Item Value="0" X="98" Y="198"/>
            <Item Value="-50" X="80" Y="235"/>
         </Nonlinearity>
         <Delay DegreesPerSecond="45"/>
      </Rotate>
   </Element>
</Element>

More gauge elements can be placed inside each of these two "master elements".

Hope this helps,
