Hi,I wounder how I can made my own (*.xml) gauge that will turn to the night texture on a spec. time? lite pss panels (airbus ect) from day light to a full lighted night panel? I have tried to make this today but don't know how to write it so it fail off course;)If its helps I use FS Panel Studio 1.1 and Im quite new on .xml scripts or gauge design in general.pls. help me someone./Philip Nordlander,Sweden

Ihave no knowlegde of Panel Studio whatsoever, I write my gauges and panels in pure notepad form :DYou *can* probably write such a gauge, but consider how well it would work in northers and southern latitues where the suns elevation pays a major role over the seasons; a little to the north of me it is always sunny during summer whatever time, and rarely any sun at all durig the winter.There is a discussion below on a possible approach, but if you're new to gauge "coding" it might prove too difficult; errors are too easy to make.I suggest you start with something simpler, and I suggest you take a deep peek into the code of default xml gauges. Try and fail a few times, and it will grow on you. A couple of successes later and you'

Ok thanks for answer but I have allready made some *.xml gauges via to look at the default gauges and I attach a picture of a helicopter panel a have made now under 3days.. include a simple own gauges like the attitude indicator ect.. I will try to made the digital display as well later on my project. And that display I want to have so real as possible and the name of that screen is VEMD display and the panel I working on is an EC120B Colibri panel we will see how it goes...;)But If I made a whole gauge of a night version of my bitmap main panel if that possible to place that gauge below all other gauges?? and can I add some string or code inside my "night version bitmap gauge" so its only visible on night time or evening?? that is what I looking for now. anyone? is that possible?MVHPhilip Nordlander,Swedenhttp://forums.avsim.com/user_files/6945.jpg

Hi,It is possible.Have a look in the discussion below about "sun elevation" by Arne Bartels.Jan"Procul Negotiis"

thanks.. I will test that.I will be back if I have any problems;)/Philip Nordlander,

Hi,How much information about the VEMD do you have? regards,Franz

Hi,On the VEMD I have only a few pictures of it and information from Eurocopters website not more.. do you have any info or? I would need to have more info about the VEMD display even more pictures of it.MVHPhilip Nordlander,
