September 19, 20205 yr Author Hey, it worked!! 😄 😄 😄 The only thing I used from the converter was the interior model file. I'm going to guess that whatever I did previously to remove the mouse rectangles wasn't done right. User Error: Replace user and press any key to continue. All the stock gauges worked, but I had custom XML processing that wasn't being picked up by my custom gauges. I converted one of the XML files from <Gauge> format to <SimBase.Document> format with the same script code and it worked perfectly. I wasn't expecting the other file with the <Gauge> format to work, but it did. Apparently there was some kind of script error in the first gauge. This might be why some XML gauges do not work. I had a similar problem with an earlier aircraft where I had to remove the <Doctype> line to get gauges that previously worked in FSX to work in P3Dv2, and later in P3Dv4. And thank God! I was actually considering going back to P3Dv4 rather than flying the stock aircraft. I did some flights with the C172, Savage Cub and C152 and it just wasn't the same, although the aircraft few well enough. The new live weather makes quite a bit of difference. Besides winds aloft (even if they're not quite accurate, they're there), the constant random "turbulence" movement is not present with live weather, only in weather themes. I had to do more "flying" in the Stearman with live weather. 😄 I can't tell you how much better I feel now. Thanks to everyone for all your help. EDIT: It turns out that one XML gauge that wasn't working was an error I'd introduced myself with an edit I made to attempt to fix a problem with the previous conversion of the model file. It looks like <Gauge> XML files work without problems, as long as the programmer doesn't introduce them himself. 😄 Hook Edited September 19, 20205 yr by LHookins Larry Hookins Oh!

September 19, 20205 yr I’m happy that it worked out for you. I fiddled with a lot of the new options (it’s now build 3.1), but it wasn’t as good as before the update to 1.8.3, so at the end I also said, just concentrate on the model conversion and forget about the rest. And like you, I’m a happy camper again. AH Bristol Bulldog. Is there any better view? 😄 Edited September 19, 20205 yr by bernd1151 Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds My specs: AMD Radeon RX6700XT, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, 32GB RAM, 34" monitor, screen resolution: 2560x1080
