P3D v4 Scope of G:vars

[rcbarend]

I have a question on the visibility scope of G:vars in P3Dv4.*

What I'm after:
I want to detect, if in a panel.cfg an XML gauge is defined (and loaded/running) multiple times.
Reason: for the type of "control" gauges that I make, this gives problems sometimes.
In FSX-Accelleration, I use this code:

<Element>
   <Select>
      <Value>
          (*** GAUGE INITIALISATION ***)
         (G:Var9) 0 ==
         if{
            (L:MyInitVar,enum) ++ (>L:MyInitVar,enum)
            1 (&gt;G:Var9)
         }
      </Value>
   </Select>
</Element>

Meaning that if a gauge containing this code is defined (and loaded/running) multiple times in the panel.cfg, the Lvar (L:MyInitVar,enum) counts this.
Which appears to work perfect, since:
- The visibility scope of a G:Var is limited to one defined/running instance of the gauge.
- The visibility scope of a L:var is global over all instances of all loaded gauges (and .mdl, etc).

My question: does this still work in P3Dv4.* ??

Reason I ask: I don't use P3D, so I can't test it myself.
But some of my XML gauges I develop for FSX, are intented for P3D too.
Just want to make sure nothing has changed in that area.

Thanks, Rob

I'm using my FS9/ FSX gauges in P3dV4.4 with some init routines.
No probleme found in this area.

Don't have v4.* either, no reports from other users using my gauges with ini routines & G:Vars.
The P3Dv4.5 SDK echoes the same as previous FS versions.

Thanks for the replies.
Just had a verification from a P3Dv4 user that my code works the same in P3Dv4.5 as in FSX-Accel
