Well... This is a pity... The following will draw the initial StartAngle correctly, but it will never update... :(This is the final thing I need to accomplish somehow...
<Pie Radius="41" StartAngle="(A:TURB ENG CORRECTED N1:1,percent)" EndAngle="0" LineWidth="2" Color="White" FillColor="#545454" Bright="Yes">

It was commissioned by ABACUS for their B787 release.NOTE: I've "necro'd" this post to recover the "lost XML script" that Jan provided:
Hi,This works, just a test, a workaround?:

By testing you will see what i mean.Change Lines and Colours etc.Hope it helps,Jan"Beatus ille qui procul negotiis..."

Why is the regular panel with default 747 and 737 gauges? How do I get this panel with my Abacus 787?!

I suspect that they (ABACUS) simply never bothered to update the screenshots. I do know that they only commissioned me to create an entirely NEW 2d panel and VC update after the original release......which I coded specifically to be both FS9 and FSX compatible.Presumably this was due to poor sales and customer dissatisfaction. Once I sent ABACUS what they'd contracted and paid for, that ended my responsibility for their product.In that case, before purchasing, I highly advise emailing custsupp@abacuspub.com and asking them if it's a case of them having OLD screenshots, and whether they are -in fact- using the updates I coded for them. :(

Great coding LOL! Well so If I just buy the product from the site then this panel will come with it? Also when was this UPDATE available? I had this Abacus Dreamliner with the default 737 gauges! How do I update to this? I hate the old gauges! Is it like and UPDATE file that I may obtain to fix the default gagues? THANKS a BILLION!!!! I am really looking forward to this thrilling panel!

As stated above, the only way to get that panel is if ABACUS supplies it. I couldn't legally give away the files required even were I inclined to do so. I sold all rights to ABACUS.

I contacted them and they helped me out! Love the new IMPROVED jet! :)
The only folks that can actually help you are Abacus. Did you e-mail them, custsupp@abacuspub.com, as Bill suggested?

Yup he helped me! I love the bird now! I have a suggestion though. Maybe, in an update, The team should fix the 767 nose part, ground wing flex, and the spikes that the ends of the engines! Great work team!
