• 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.

It was written for me as part of the sd2gau source codes, but I have no idea what the syntax is. I'm having a seriously bad day: absolutely nothing I code shows up in the sim (P3D) and it wouldn't surpsrise me to find this is FS9 format.
Code: 
<Gauge Name="xml_switch" Version="1.0">
    <Element>
        
        <Select>
        <Value>(L:xml_switch_var, bool)</Value>
        <Case Value="0">
        <Image Name="switch_off.bmp"/>
        </Case>
        <Case Value="1">
        <Image Name="switch_on.bmp"/>
        </Case>
    </Select>
    </Element>    
    <Mouse>
    <Cursor Type="Hand"/>
    <Click>
    (L:xml_switch_var, bool) ! (>L:xml_switch_var, bool)
    </Click> 
    </Mouse>
</Gauge>
Thank you.
 
It is FS9 syntax and should work in P3D, code looks good.
Make sure the bitmaps are in the same folder as the xml.
The call is gaugeXX=<folder name>!<xml name>, xpos, ypos, xsize, ysize (ofc you should know)
Below is an alternate, adding a background bitmap, just in case.
XML: 
<Gauge Name="xml_switch" Version="1.0">
    <Image name="background.bmp"/>
    <Element>      
        <Select>
        <Value>(L:xml_switch_var, bool)</Value>
            <Case Value="0">
                <Image Name="switch_off.bmp"/>
            </Case>
            <Case Value="1">
                <Image Name="switch_on.bmp"/>
            </Case>
        </Select>
    </Element>  
    <Mouse>
        <Cursor Type="Hand"/>
        <Click>
            (L:xml_switch_var, bool) ! (>L:xml_switch_var, bool)
        </Click>
    </Mouse>
</Gauge>
 
Thansk Roman. Of course, it used to work....

[Edit] I could kick it's a*se. Just started P3Dv5 again without any expectation of seeing it and it was there, working.
