I'll have a look.

You are correct, that should move the card. We are working on an update and I'll add this the it. Thanks for reporting the issue.

Yes, I tried, but I cannot get it to crash. I have a tool that will display the raw data coming our of X-Plane. You can download in from here: http://www.simplugins.com/CommsCheckInstall.exe Just download it and install it and run it instead of Panel Builder. You can select the instrument from the dropdown and then click connect. It will show what's being sent from X-Plane. There ais not really a capture of the data, juts a display, but you could copy and past from it into a file.

So, no problems, everything ok?

This should be fixed now. Update has been posted. Follow the steps here how to update: http://simplugins.com/html/updates.html

I see what I can do. The square instruments work a bit different. I let you know. Thanks for the suggestion. By the way I posted a new version/build on our server that fixes the issues you reported and also some temperature and fuel flow conversion issues found by someone else. Follow the steps here how to get the update: http://simplugins.com/html/updates.html

No, that should work correctly. The syntax you have is correct. Make sure you select the correct engine for the instrument as each data coming from simconnect is for a separate engine.

We have fixed the problem. Update is coming shortly.

The changes have been made and will be available for the next release. Carlos, thanks for the suggestions. I've sent you a message.

I'll add a the temp selection for the first gauge and the engine selection for the second. I'll let you know when its done.

No, all panels will remain.

I've uploaded new packages. Can you download again? It should work now.

Mainly the panel app, but it wouldn't hurt if you re-install the interface.

Yes it is. The panel will remember the location of each instrument and if you use a color background, this will also go across the monitors. There are several display options for panel in the panel setup.

Can you download and re-install version 2.61 again? I re-built the MP gauge.

Download and install version 2.61 again. This should be fixed.

I'll have a look at the P3D Interface. Sorry wasn't aware you are running P3D.

I was referring to your 'Data Update Interval concern' post. But you have already the fixed IP addresses done. I have a look at the MP gauge. The problem normally occurs when the gauge receives invalid data. I have a look at it.

Uninstall on the old PC, then install it on the new PC and re-run the activation. You get 3 new activations with each serial number. After that you need to contact us.

See the reply to your the other post re the static IP addresses. This might solve the problem.

When using a cross over cable, we recommend assigned static IP addresses to the interface cards. Normally a router assigns those dynamically, but without a router they seem to be somewhat random and not always guarantee a network setup that works reliably with Panel Builder. I suggest the following: Computer 1: IP Address 192.168.0.1 Netmask 255.255.255.0 Computer 2: IP Address 192.168.0.2 Netmask 255.255.255.0 To do this: 1. go to Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections 2. Right click on the network adapter and choose Properties 3. Select Internet Protocol version 4 4. Select Properties 5. Click on 'Use the following IP Address' 6. Fill in the values I suggested above. Do this on both computers and reboot them. You will find that this increases the speed dramatically.

When you update your Panel Builder version don't forget to update the interface (simPluginsFSX) as well. It contains new data for the instruments.

I responded to you yesterday via e-mail. Here is my answer again: Turning down the update interval will affect the flight sim performance. We suggest to use the following values: X-Plane : 100 to 200 milliseconds FSX / Simconnect / FSUIPC : 250 to 350 milliseconds. The instruments will adjust automatically to the update rate and should be smooth for any rate. Tell us more about your system configuration, what computers, how many, how are they networked (or standalone etc.), computers specs etc.

Panel Instruments turn red when you fly between dusk and dawn. This is a feature of Panel Builder. You can disable this feature by going to the menu option Building/Edit Panel and un-check 'Enable Panel Night Mode'.

Unfortunately you cannot change or add the dataref id (this is the BLDF name you created). To achieve what you want you need to 're-use' and existing dataref in the list and change the dataref part only. For example you could use 44001|4F_COWL|sim/cockpit2/engine/actuators/cowl_flap_ratio and change it to 44001|4F_COWL|/sim/cockpit/warnings/annunciators/bleed_air_fail Then you select 'COWL FLAP' from the drop down and change the on values and the label.
