Hi,
I seem to be unable to get Text elements to work in gauges I'm working on for display on the FIP.
So, for example:
<Element Name="QNHmb">
<Position X="120" Y="50" />
<Text X="100" Y="10" Length="8" Font="Arial" Color="red" Adjust="Center" VerticalAdjust="Center">
<String>%( (A:Kohlsman setting MB,millibars) )%!04.2f!</String>
</Text>
</Element>
Is not producing anything in the allotted position of the gauge when rendered on the fip.
Even something as simple as :
<Element>
<Position X="40" Y="21" />
<Text X="220" Y="20" Length="24" Color="red" Font="Arial Bold" Adjust="Center" VerticalAdjust="Center" >
<String>Still No Blinking String</String>
</Text>
</Element>
Doesn't work. So am I missing something - or what am I doing wrong ?

Re: Text in Gauges for FIP
The ESP-Text-element for gauges is not supported by SPAD.neXt as it's to cpu-consuming and old fashioned.
See here https://www.spadnext.com/wiki/gauges:sp ... mic_labels for the SPAD.neXt version of it

Re: Text in Gauges for FIP
Ahhh, okay. Thanks for that info. I seem to remember that somewhere in the back of my mind I already knew that, but have obviously forgotten.
Regarding the schemas on the wiki: are they complete or are they additions that can be pasted into my FS9 / FSX xsd file ?

Re: Text in Gauges for FIP
The wiki is not up to date. need to update that
The most recent xsd can always be found on GitHub (https://github.com/c0nnex/SPAD.neXt/tree/master/Gauges).
It's the same xsd a gauge is validated against when being loaded.
You can open a ticket to request a "gauge designer" license, which will enable the gauge-debugging functions of SPAD.neXt.
(Enable/Disable elements , show values , record renderstages )
