Does anyone know how to add the VOR identifier to the EHSI? For instance, say I have Santa Monica VOR tuned, I would like the EHSI to display SMO....Is it possible to add the code to the XML gauge?

Yes you can, if you are willing to edit the EHSI xml code...

 

Where do you want it displayed?

 

In place of the NAV frequency:

<Element id="Distance Readout Main Freq">
			   <FloatPosition>310.000,94.000</FloatPosition>
			   <Visibility>(A:NAV HAS DME:1, bool) 0 != (L:AP_NAV_SELECT_MODE) 0 == and (A:GPS drives nav1, bool) 0 == 

and</Visibility>
			   <GaugeText id="DME">
				  <Bold>false</Bold>
				  <Bright>True</Bright>
				  <FontFace>DISPLAY7</FontFace>
				  <FontColor>green</FontColor>
				  <FontHeight>20</FontHeight>
					   <GaugeString>%((A:NAV HAS DME:1, bool))
					
                                                   %{if}%((A:NAV IDENT:1, string))%!s!

						   %{else}
							  ----
						   %{end}</GaugeString>
				  <HorizontalAlign>RIGHT</HorizontalAlign>
				  <Size>120,22</Size>
				  <Transparent>True</Transparent>
			   </GaugeText>
			</Element>

I have no problem editing the code....below preferably.

 

I need/want to see freq, dme and ID for any VOR/ILS tuned in NAV1. In a perfect world, would love to see NAV2 info on opposite side

Sorry Bert...just saw your code....if I can't have my cake and eat it too, your code will work for me....the id is the main thing I need, I can always look at my radio stack to make sure I have the right freq tuned....

 

Thanks for the code

Below would work too...

<Element id="DME TIME 1">
				<FloatPosition>326.000,114.000</FloatPosition>
				<Visibility>(A:NAV HAS DME:1, bool) 0 != (L:AP_NAV_SELECT_MODE) 0 == and (A:GPS drives nav1, bool) 0 == and</Visibility>
				<GaugeText id="DME MIN">
				  <Bold>false</Bold>
				  <Bright>True</Bright>
				  <FontFace>DISPLAY7</FontFace>
				  <FontColor>green</FontColor>
				  <FontHeight>20</FontHeight>
					<GaugeString>%((A:NAV HAS DME:1, bool))
					%{if}%((A:NAV IDENT:1, string))%!s!
					%{else}--
					%{end}</GaugeString>
					<HorizontalAlign>RIGHT</HorizontalAlign>
					<Size>100,22</Size>
					<Transparent>True</Transparent>
				</GaugeText>
			</Element>

Thank you....
