Try to use the AFCAD 2.21 to insert a LOC+GP+DME . Another try should be to read by the AFCAD2.21 the coordinates of LOC and insert in the same position a DME Regards G.Franco

I feel ashamed to pose this question. An .xml gauge can comunicate with a c++ gauge?Editing a panel I'm trying to have pressure indication using a c++ pump switch on a .xml pressure indicator. If it isn't possible at least I can resign forever. Gianfranco

I verified that FS9 is broken but my question is why?FS2004sdk established a different behaviour. Gianfranco

In my first post I was asking why within FS2004 the Waypoint IAF aren't proposed by ATC as transition on the contrary to what's written into FS2004SDK . Obviously I don't care which is the FSX behaviour.Isn't it? Gianfranco

Have a look at NAT v.4 avaible at AVSIM. Gianfranco

Cooktop .xml editor and notepad.

hello, to have more realty in the simulation I compile the approaches looking at real approach charts. But I found that if the IAF(initial approach fix) is a waypoint or a terminal waypoint the transition will not appear during the pilot transition choise to obtain it from ATC . It's written in the FS2004sdk that it's possible to have as IAF a waypoint or a terminal_waypoint but it doesn't work. I tryed just for test to install in the same position of the IAF waypoint a NDB. In my approach compiling I changed only the fixType. With a NDB as IAF the Transition appears and everything works properly. Anybody can explain to me the why of this approach behaviour? Gianfranco

Tanks Dietmar looking and testing your string I was able to correct my string and now it works perfectly. My string now is: <String>%((A:GPS WP Distance,nMiles) s0 int)%!003d!.%(l0 1 % 10 * int)%!d!</String> Thanks Gianfranco

Thanks Jan for your reply.As you can see in the forum there are a lot posts about this gauge but I think the problem is do to the very vague Doug Dawson explanations.Gianfranco

Thanks for your replies but I cannot able to make the Wipers sound working.Gianfranco

I installed the Guy De Smet wipers to my RFP-742.Wipers work great but I cannot add their sound by Doug Dawson dsd_xml_Sound3 gauge.Here my wiper gauge:<Gauge Name="Wiper_CPT Switch left" Version="1.0"> <!--Copyright Guy De Smet 2002--> <Update Frequency="6"/> <Size X="43" Y="26"/> <Image Name="Dummy.bmp" ImageSizes="43,26,0,0"/> <Element> <Position X="0" Y="0"/> <Select> <Value>(L:Wiper_CPT_Left, enum)</Value> <Case Value="0"> <Image Name="Wipers_0.bmp" ImageSizes="51,26,0,0"/> </Case> <Case Value="2"> <Image Name="Wipers_1.bmp" ImageSizes="51,26,0,0"/> </Case> <Case Value="5"> <Image Name="Wipers_2.bmp" ImageSizes="51,26,0,0"/> </Case> </Select> </Element> <Mouse> <Tooltip>Wiper_CPT_Left One click to activate or 0 , 2 clicks for 2 and 5</Tooltip> <Area Left="0" Top="9" Width="13" Height="16"> <Cursor Type="Hand"/> <Click> (>K:PANEL_ID_TOGGLE) 0 (>L:Wiper_CPT_Left, enum)</Click> </Area> <Area Left="15" Top="9" Width="13" Height="16"> <Cursor Type="Hand"/> <Click>00 (>L:RFP_sound_id,number) (>K:PANEL_ID_TOGGLE) 2 (>L:Wiper_CPT_Left, enum) </Click> </Area> <Area Left="29" Top="9" Width="14" Height="16"> <Cursor Type="Hand"/> <Click>01 (>L:RFP_sound_id,number) (>K:PANEL_ID_TOGGLE) 5 (>L:Wiper_CPT_Left, enum) </Click> </Area> </Mouse></Gauge>and here my RFP/sound.ini[Config]MaxSounds=8Lvar=RFP_sound_idLvarStop=RFP_Sound_Stop[sounds]Sound00=./Sound/RFP/wiper_slow.wav,100Sound01=./Sound/RFP/wiper_fast.wav,100[Lvars]Lvar00=RFP_sound_wiper_slowLvar01=RFP_sound_wiper_fastThe string in my Panel.cfg is:gauge50=dsd_xml_sound3!dsd_xml_sound3,0,0,,, ./sound/RFP_sound.iniWhere is my error?Gianfranco

Hi pve,I tryied all .xml codes posted in this tread but for me none it's working as you said.I 'm using RFP 742.Please can you post the right working code as you explained in your post?Gianfranco

It seems that within FS9 the real Hydraulic power able to move the Hydraulic systems is only obtainable from engines running.looking at fs2004SDK I cannot find any parameter or event or tooltip to model an electric Hydraulic pump able for instance to move the flaps when the plane is at ramp with engines shut.I find only some fake hydraulic pumps able only to get the pressure gauges to indicate pressure but no one system can work by this pressure.I hope that somebody can give me a code of an electric hydraulic pump able to be a real hydraulic power source.Thanks Gianfranco

Thanks Scott S.Gianfranco

I backed up the stock .bgl files and I can restore it any time I like.I checked the schema and really the two attributes aren't expected in the Taxiway path.I posted for wander round the why microsoft made the stock files out the schema.I made and are in the library others .bgl files like NAT v.4 and VHHX APPROACHES and I want to ensure that I know very well how to make it working within FS9.Please how can I find the update schema version that GHD says in his post?Regards Gianfranco

I decompiled the .BGL file FS9/scenery/same/scenery/ AP936400 to edit the approach to RWY 28 of RIO GALEAO.When I finished and tryied to recompile the file the bglcomp.exe refused the parse because all taxiway paths of all airports contained in this file have two attributes "drawSurface"and "drawDetail" not expected in the schema.I made the same with the file FS9/scenery/Eurw/scenery/AP949160 and recompiling the file I found the same for all taxiwaypaths of all airport contained in this file.How it's possible that Microsoft has made the stock .bgl files not respecting the schema?Gianfranco

Look at SVMI (Caracas Maiquetia)and at LFMN (Nice cote d'Azur).G.Franco

The poster declared:"I'm trying to set a destination as a direct to if I have no flightplan loaded".Having the Civa INS installed this is not a problem.Gianfranco

By Civa INS you can go straight to destination airport.www.simufly.com/insGianfranco

Maybe using the civa INS you can solve your problem.Gianfranco

To have much ATC realism all others FS features will be lost or reduced because FS9 is much,much better than FSX. Gianfranco

hi,It's my opinion that FS9 is surly much better than FSX and I cannot even image why having made a voxatc FSX version they discntinued the FS9 version. I think that somewhere a left voxatc fs9 version copy does still exist and I would like to know where's possible to buy it.Anybody can point me to solve this problem.Gianfranco

hi Roman,thanks but your code doesn't work at all.By my code when the Hydraulic switch is operate the light follows the switching but with no respect of the pressure, with your code the light after the first switching remains always out.Thanks again Gianfranco
