FS2004 Recalcitrant tooltip string

[vololiberista]

I started doing this this morning and got it to work just with numbers. The numbers are percents so when I added the percent signs everything went pear shaped and I have been unable to get it back to a working code.
Could someone have a look and correct the mistakes, please.
The red items are what I want to see either as text or values. With the values having a % sign added.
Many thanks vololiberista

I am assuming that's where you added the % symbol. If so, I believe you need two of them for it to be treated as a literal % symbol. If that's NOT the location... whereever it is in that pile of polish sausage they call XML, I still believe you need two %% for the % to be treated as a literal in a string.

That's what I thought W. I've been putting them everywhere. The problem now is that I'm not even getting the no's. Just Engine 1 :-(
I think polish sausage is a "much" better name !!

fpr example this works in one gauge

<Tooltip>Engine 2 %((A:Turb eng2 N2, percent) near)%!d!%%</Tooltip>

giving me the % sign.
But try as I might in the above code all I get is Engine 1 and nothing else at all.
Sometimes with a bit of fiddling I can get the numbers. But adding the % signs screws everything. I've tried % signs everywhere!!
There has to be a correct solution but, I can't see it at all.

I believe there's one "%" too much or too little in the following part:

%{if}%( (A:Turb eng2 N2, percent) 36 + )%!d![B][COLOR="Red"]%[/COLOR][/B]%{else}

Try either

%{if}%( (A:Turb eng2 N2, percent) 36 + )%!d![B][COLOR="Red"]%%[/COLOR][/B]%{else}

or displacing the "%%" to the end of the string

%{if}%( (A:Turb eng2 N2, percent) 36 + )%!d!%{else}
...
%{end}%%

Thanks for that! Tried all your permutations including the threesome earlier. No luck at all.
Perhaps the string can't be evaluated.
