• 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.

Hey everyone,

Trying to figure out a good route for doing bar readouts. Looking at the Boeing 747 FS2004 XML for the EICAS gauge and it has this...

Code: 
            <Element>
               <Image Name="EICAS1_EPR_Normal_GreenBar.bmp" Bright="Yes" ImageSizes="9,1,14,2"/>
               <Shift>
                  <Value Maximum="1">(A:General eng1 throttle lever position, part) abs</Value>
                  <Nonlinearity>
                     <Item Value="1" X="7.5" Y="15"/>
                     <Item Value="0" X="7.5" Y="55"/>
                  </Nonlinearity>
               </Shift>
            </Element>

What does 'part' (form of measure) and 'abs' mean?
(A:General eng1 throttle lever position, part) abs

It's in the SDK. I can't remember exactly where in the FSX SDK, but in the P3d SDK it's under scripting / RPN scripting.

I found it in the 'quantities' or 'amounts' DOC in the FS9 SDK, 'Part' but no reason for it. Just that its 'misc'.

Found ABS also.

I was just curious. So long as it works. Thats all I need.
