• 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.

ok,
I downloaded this gauge and installed it. I'm very impressed it works great. However when I try to use FS Panel Studio to edit the panel config file, the ars_2 gauge causes errors that won't let FSPS load.
 
Here are the errors that show up.

this is the text of the mail I sent to you, in connection with your FSStudio issues: " I do not use FS panel studio. I de-installed it and did my development without this tool. It seems, that the tool has a problem with the ITraffic macros. I know from other users that the tool has as well problems with other XML code for example :
"The gaugexx=ARS2!ARS2_TRAK, 0,0,0,0 still kicks out Fs panel studio."
Sorry , cannot help in this regard. Just use the gauge without the tool. "

Have you not received this mail ? Later on, I got e ERR MSg from the mail server regarding a mail from you. OK, sorry I cannot do anything. It's a FSStudio problem

Dietmar, all gauge entries should have at least a height of 1 and a width of 1, otherwise FSPS will crash.

Also, no XML gauge can have a negative position for x or y.

So, at a minimum, the position and size must be:

gauge00=mygauge!gauge1, 0,0,1,1

On page 18 of your manual, you recommend the following, which will cause FSPS to crash:

//------------------------------------------AI Track-----------------------------
gaugezz=ARS2!ARS2_TRAK, 0,0,0,0
gaugezz=TRKCTLSet!SpeedParameter, 0,0,0,0
gaugezz=TRKCTLSet!AirfuelParameter, 0,0,0,0

Bill,
thanks a lot for this info. I will take care in my coming developements on this issue.

Hi Bill,

I just changed my cfg entries to this:

[Window16]
Background_color=0,0,0
size_mm=402,402
window_size_ratio=1
position=0
visible=1
child_3d=1
alpha_blend=0.65
window_size= 0.280,0.560
window_pos= 0.367, 0.10

gauge00=HUDTest!HUDTest17, 0,0,1,1

and Uppps, I cannot open the window any more. Back to :
gauge00=HUDTest!HUDTest17, 0,0,0,0 and it works. Am I in conflict with the window_pos setting in the Window definition ? May be it makes FSpanelstudio happy, but in this case I should be better stay on the zeros for the size parameter. Anything other wrong ???
Dietmar
 
I cannot imagine why setting the x,y to 1,1 should cause a subwindow to not open. That makes no sense at all.

I've got your file downloaded, should I ever find time, I'll unzip it and try it out myself.
