I've never created gauges before and am just starting to trawl through that specific part of the FSX SDK. One immediate question I have is:
Does gauge code only run if the gauge is visible? i.e. while the user is in the 2D cockpit or VC?
If not, and your gauge does something fancy like trigger an alarm sound, or set some internal variable, how do you prevent it from doing it twice simulataneously if the user were in spot view, (or any other non-cockpit view)?
Sorry if this question is a bit "noddy", as gauge programming is a whole new wide world for me.
Thanks,
Si
