I went further with my studying of the gauge coding.
I made a try, by looking at the various variables, how to read this or that etc...
So in the end, I tried creating a gauge... but unfortunately, it didn't work.
I made several modifications but there is something wrong in my conditions. Sometimes the avionics are always ON, sometimes always OFF... it doesn't take the engine+gen status correctly into account.

I'm sure it's a stupid mistake hidden somewhere, but it's 01:08 AM here, and my brain cannot work anymore.... Here is the XML code I created. I hope you can use it as a valid base and make it work after some corrections.

Code: Select all: <Gauge Name="Automatic avionics"> <Element> <Select> <Value> (A:APU PCT RPM,percent) 10 > (A:APU GENERATOR SWITCH,bool) && (A:ENG1 N2 RPM,rpm) 10 > (A:General eng1 generator switch,bool) && || (A:ENG2 N2 RPM,rpm) 10 > (A:General eng2 generator switch,bool) && || if{ 1 (>L:Avionics master switch,bool)}</Value> </Select> </Element> </Gauge>

Hi Alejandro,

Sorry for the delay in answering, yesterday I've been driving to Germany where I'll spend the whole week, which means I won't be able to test anything during this week (away from my gaming computer

Stephane ,I manage to fix a part and made the engine generator0 to switch the avionics on and off at the same time
(I got some help in another forum)

I'll be sending it to you soon

Alex

Alejandro, I will not have access to FSX for the full week

Alejandro, I will not have access to FSX for the full week

what a cool, you can trip to Germany ,go to UK ,living the life ,while I'm stuck in this God D prison of third world country, Don't you need there in Le France a house keeper cleaning ,a butter, a slave???? hey I can wash dogs and clean their crap ,and I also made aircraft for certain PC game

Hmm... but then, don't you lose the avionics if that particular engine is switched off ?
Also, that means that the user will have to switch that engine GEN, even if he is just sitting at the gate with only the APU running.

I have created a topic concerning my gauge on another forum.
I'll wait for the answers and report here. I believe that you don't need to modify these buttons, but I could be wrong. Anyways, this issue got me curious, and now I just want to know how this is supposed to work

Instead of Generator0 it can be in APU switch or APUstart switch or any other switch YOU want ,it will works along with the avionics switch too once I made the script for them too,It better only one like the APU switch ,

tell me which one will I turn into a switch with a double function

As you wish Alejandro.
I still investigating about the gauge itself though, because such a gauge would be very convenient and easy to transfer to other planes like your Citation and MD-83 for example, with a simple additionnal line in the panel.cfg.

And as I said, I'm know really curious to understand how theses gauge work. I NEED to know

Success !!! Finally !!

Posted: **Sun Feb 12, 2012 12:49 pm**

Guess what ? The Citation has already a real Avionics switch on the lower panel

Ah well, at least I could make a nice little test flight again with it

I'm off to post the screenshots now.

Oh Stephan my apologies ,I didn't saw the upper post I thought was the Older one from feb7

also I was a little bit exausted I had a lot of work today ...yes on Sunday :-[

very good so Ill export Once again without the switch double work gen0&avionics ,put back the gen0 (like the default model) then I apply your gauge

I should known your email

Hi Alejandro,

Sorry for the late answer, but I'm still in the office, so I can't test yet.
Hopefully I should return home in more or less two hours. Then I'll give a try to your newest archive.
I'm also still working on your readme, by the way.

Cheers,
Stephane.

Hi again Alejandro.

Two good news for me

1- I have sent you a PM with the new readme file. Please check if it's ok like that.

2- I could test the latest version of the cockpit, and I confirm everything works perfectly

Additionnaly, I have to tell you that the new cockpit textures/lighting is really fantastic, compared to what it was before ! I absolutely love it !
