• 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.

Translating FSX to FS9 in gauge XML; Locations

Hey guys,

I am studying some of the Aces gauge XML from FSX to use in FS9, but I am curious on one thing. On the gauge coordinates, can I be assured that coordinates are the same as FS9 but without the 'tripple decimal' following?


For instance; would 123.000 in FSX be the same as 123 in FS9?



Many thanks for your input,


Bill

Yes, you may be certain of that...

In fact, you CAN even specify fractional coordinates in FS9 as well, such as <Axis X="12.5" Y="19"/> for example... :D

Roger that. Thanks Bill.

The closer I looked at the FSX code, the more I saw that it was actually a duplicate but with changed string names. Skript is actually Value, etc.

I thought about it.. How goofey can this be. But I guess they didnt want their new FSX gauges working in FS9. That can be the only reason for making XML different. Why recreate the wheel? right?

I can look into that panel system now of the FSX Embraer and be amazed at how it works. Very nice... Thanks for the heads up on that one.
