Hey all
I have recently started editing panels. I am amazed at how easy it is.
But, I have one question
With XML gauges
How exactly do I put it in the panel
Is it this?
gauge00=Cessna!VSI, 1,104,305,305 like a normal .gau file
Or is it just the filename of the XML Gauge? like
guage01=VSI, 1,104,305,305
If I havn't phrased this correctly, please give me some example Code out of a panel.cfg and show how to place XML gauges in it.
Thanks
XML gauges can be stored in FS9 in two different ways.
In a folder or a .cab file.
With either method, the folder or .cab file can be placed
in either the main "gauges" folder or inside the "panel" folder
of a particular aircraft.
Either way, the panel.cfg entry for a XML gauge will look like this:
gaugexx=Sample!Your_gauge, X, Y, x, y
Where "Sample" is the name of the folder or .cab and
"Your_gauge" is the name of the gauge you have created.
The folder or .cab file may contain multiple XML gauges which
consist of the XML code and any BMP's associated with that
code.
When you are developing a gauge, it is easier to use the folder
storage method initially, as it saves some time when making changes.
Once you have the gauge debugged it can than be moved into
a new or existing .cab file.
