Making marker beacons visible on a GPS gauge

Featured Replies

Hi there,I would like to display the marker beacons (Outer, Middle, Inner) onto a GPS gauge as they appear on the original FS map.As mentionned in the post GPS detail level enumerations, the Object detail level for markers could be set this way :Marker§ Outer marker = 0x1§ Middle = 0x2§ Inner = 0x4§ Backcourse = 0x8I've tried to add the following lines in a normal gps element <CustomDraw Name="fs9gps:map"> (gps.dll) : <LayerMarkers>1</LayerMarkers> <TextDetailLayerMarkers>2</TextDetailLayerMarkers> <ColorLayerMarkers>0x7010B0</ColorLayerMarkers> <ObjectDetailLayerMarkers>0xF</ObjectDetailLayerMarkers> <DetailLayerMarkers>1</DetailLayerMarkers>but without success until now !I am not really sure if the lines mentionned in the post are true or not.Does anybody there has experience on this matter ?Thanks in advanceThierry38D

Try:

<ObjectDetailLayerMarkers>0x0F</ObjectDetailLayerMarkers>

Hi,Thanks to n4gix but replacing 0xF by 0x0F doesn't solve the problem.I also tried using this (mentionned in the Susan Ashlock post) : <Element Name="Marker_View"> <CustomDrawParam id="ObjectDetailLayerMarkers" Name="ObjectDetailLayerMarkers" X="157" Y="157" Bright="Yes" CenterX="78" CenterY="78"> <Value>0x1 0x2 0x4 0x8 0x0F 5 (L:Marker_type, enum) case</Value> <Zoom>(L:ZoomFactor, nmiles) 1852.0 *</Zoom> <Latitude>(L:Latitude, radians)</Latitude> <Longitude>(L:Longitude, radians)</Longitude> <Heading>0</Heading> </CustomDrawParam> </Element>but it doesn't work. Same code for displaying airports (markers replaced by airports) doesn't work too !I think the syntax is not good.Any idea :( ?A Good Simming Year for 2011 !

Is this for FSX or FS9? FS9 does not support this feature...

This is for FS9. And I've just seen that the above mentionned post "GPS detail level enumerations" is taken from the XPack SDK ...meaning that it is for FSX ! :( Right ?Thanks for your helpThierry
