I'm currently working on some new annunciator lights for my forthcoming version 2 of the baron Panel.

Is there a list anywhere of the parameters that are able to supply values?

For example, (A:Electrical genalt1 bus voltage,volts) 0 <=

If there happens to be a tutorial as it pertains to FS2002 around that would be very useful too.

Thanks for any help.

I discovered it's all in the SDK.

.hey tipster i was wondering about the same thing but when i looked in the xml. sdk i could only find script on how to convert the file to a cab. file. then when i looked in the normal panel and gauge sdk i found parameters but they didnt look the same as the ones in a xml. file
can you help...

There's an XML SDK? LMAO...ah well - you live and learn!

All I can tell you is that the documents folder in the Panels & Gauges folder contains all the events as well as the parameters descriptions. All those docs are worth a nosey.

I just uploaded V2.0 of my Baron panel and most (not all)  of the new gauges are my own work based on the parameters and events from the P&G SDK. All seems to work well.

Do you have a link for the XML SDK? I'd like a look at it although it sounds like it might confuse, rather than clarify matters.

oh what i meant by saying the xml. sdk is, that it is a utility to put xml. gauges in a cabinent file (.cab)  QUOTE: "This CAB File SDK explains how to create cabinet (.cab) files from the contents of a directory using Cabdir.exe."
the link is here http://zone.msn.com/flightsim/FS02DevDeskSDK00.asp

its the CAB file sdk.

thanx for your answer it cleared up some problems

Very welcome

I already have a cabfile building utility (Gawd knows where I got it LOL) so I'll probably give that a miss.

Hi i have another question. although i have found the parameters and all im am still having problems figuring out what the values are. Also i am having problems figguring out the rules the xml follows.

Which parameter is it?

Also i am having problems figguring out the rules the xml follows.

Me too!

I know the logic I want to apply to some gauges, but the syntax is a nightmare.  I'll keep at it until I get the hang of it.

the parameters i have found are the names and stuff ex: Electrical genalt1 bus voltage. you know the ones in the panel / gauges sdk, doc. folder.

ok - my (rudimentary) understanding is that you have to assign them to a type of value according to the output of the parameter.

Here are some examples:

(A:Ambient temperature, celsius) - assigns the value to a number of celecius degrees

(A:Ambient temperature, farenheit) - same thing but in farenheit

L:yourvariable,number) - assigns a value in a variable you've created to a number.

The possibilities for what type of data you can have for any given variable are listed somewhere (can't remember exactly where off hand).

oh yeah the different types of variables possible are in the unitis.doc located in the panelgauges/ Doc folder. and thanks for your help
