Guage not appearing in FSX

Good morning all and I wish you a very safe and happy New Year

As you can see from the attached image I have made a new gauge adapted from the warn_b747 gauge. This appears in FSPS but will not show up in FSX. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

Cheers, Mac

Try again

Bumpity, bump, bump ...

That tag is closed near the bottom of the page, Ed. I started all over and rebuilt from square one, for the third time. It is now working just fine. Unsolved mystery I am afraid. Thanks for your advice. Cheers, Mac

Again, the XML file is not valid. If you open it in any XML editor or Internet Explorer you will see the error. If FSX sees invalid XML it skips the gauge.

I've edited the XML to fix the problem:

Hi,

When using FSPS (as I'm sure you know) when you make changes to a panel the original or previous version of the panel.cfg is saved as a backup. When you make your panel edits is this happening for the panel.cfg files you say are being changed ?

If you look at the modified panel.cfg in Notepad you should be able to see the changes, and if the changes have occurred I don't know of any reason why the panel changes do not appear in FSX.

I'm assuming that after your crash you reinstalled FSPS from the downloaded Wrapper file (verifying your purchase online using your Key and Code) rather than simply re-running any previously-extracted installation file.
