FS2004 NonLinearityTable won't work

[Heretic]

I'm using the gauge in FSX but it's in FS9 formatting.

Here's the code of the element in question (a G Force needle):

<Element>
<Position X="100" Y="100"/>
<Image Name="gfneedle.bmp">
<Axis X="20" Y="80"/>
</Image>
<Rotate>
<Value Minimum="-4" Maximum="8">(A:ELECTRICAL MAIN BUS VOLTAGE, volts) 10 &gt; if{ (A:G FORCE,G Force) } els{ 0 }</Value>
<NonLinearity>
<!-- Item Value="-4" Degrees="-90" />
<Item Value="0" Degrees="0" />
<Item Value="4" Degrees="90" />
<Item Value="8" Degrees="180" / -->
<Item Value="-4" X="0" Y="100" />
<Item Value="0" X="100" Y="0" />     
<Item Value="4" X="200" Y="100" />
</NonLinearity>
<!-- Delay DegreesPerSecond="20" / -->
</Rotate>
</Element>

No matter if I try the commented out degree-based approach or the active coordinate based approach, I always end up with this (sitting still on the runway, mind you):

What the heck am I doing wrong?


I already had to fix another nonlinear gauge, but at least it responded to my inputs!

Recreated the gauge in FSX syntax with the exact same elements and table. Works as it should. Weird.

 

[WarpD]

(A:G FORCE,G Force) should be (A:G FORCE, Gforce)

 

[Heretic]

(A:G FORCE,G Force) should be (A:G FORCE, Gforce)

(A:G FORCE,G Force) works perfectly fine (in the new gauge).

try it once so

<NonLinearity>
<Item Value="-4" Degrees="-90"/>
<Item Value="0" Degrees="0"/>
<Item Value="4" Degrees="90"/>
<Item Value="8" Degrees="180"/>
</NonLinearity>


or this variant


<Element>
<Position X="100" Y="100"/>
<Image Name="gfneedle.bmp">
<Axis X="20" Y="80"/>
</Image>
<Rotate>
<Value>(A:ELECTRICAL MAIN BUS VOLTAGE, volts) 10 &gt; if{ (A:G FORCE, G Force) -4 max 8 min 0.3927 * } els{ 0 }</Value>
</Rotate>
</Element>



This is my G meter in the "L-29 Delfin", version two works perfectly in FS9.

The angles are identical with your display.

Per the SDK:
Gforce, G Force Unit of acceleration equal to the acceleration of gravity.

try it once so

<NonLinearity>
<Item Value="-4" Degrees="-90"/>
<Item Value="0" Degrees="0"/>
<Item Value="4" Degrees="90"/>
<Item Value="8" Degrees="180"/>
</NonLinearity>

I did already try that yesterday, but it did not work.

<Element>
<Position X="100" Y="100"/>
<Image Name="gfneedle.bmp">
<Axis X="20" Y="80"/>
</Image>
<Rotate>
<Value>(A:ELECTRICAL MAIN BUS VOLTAGE, volts) 10 &gt; if{ (A:G FORCE, G Force) -4 max 8 min 0.3927 * } els{ 0 }</Value>
</Rotate>
</Element>

That might have worked.
I have unfortunately already deleted the original gauge, so I can't test it immediately.

Hello

I was learning some XML coding and I find useful to use radians and rotate to do the nonlinear scale.
I have attached the airspeed code for FS9; perhaps you can refresh some ideas.

Cheers,
Sergio.
