adding to panel

[carob]

Hello. I was hoping someone would answer this.

I am trying to add a couple of icons to the panel (main 2) but they don't seem to appear. Things such as pushback, etc.

Can you tell me why these may not show up? I am trying to add them close to where the other icons are toward the lower left.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Carob,

I'm very sorry, but there is nothing in the panel which prevents what you want. You can add each gauge you want to the BAe 146 panel. Maybe you've just make a mistake with the position of your gauges.

The gauge itself appears fine when selected through the menu. That isn't really the problem. The problem seems to be getting the icon to open and close the item to show up.

Here are the sections and info that I have added. Perhaps you know what is going on...

[Window Titles]
Window11=Groundhandling

[Window01]
gauge70=rcb_groundhandling!Icon_Pushback,(size TBD)

[Window11]
size_mm=196,100 // The relative window size in pixels.
ident=10005 // The ident used by Icon_Pushback.
visible=0 // 0: hidden when aircraft is loaded.
window_size= 0.3,0.2 // Window screen size: 30 % Hor., 20 % Vert.
position=0 // 0: opens in top-left of screen.
background_color=16,16,16
gauge00=rcb_groundhandling!XMLSoundSwitchA, 0, 0, 50, 36
gauge01=rcb_groundhandling!AutoTaxiAfterLanding, 50, 0, 48, 36
gauge02=rcb_groundhandling!AutoTaxiAfterParkingbrake, 98, 0, 48, 36
gauge03=rcb_groundhandling!ParkingBrakeSwitch, 146, 0, 50, 36
gauge04=rcb_groundhandling!PushbackDisplay, 0, 36, 86, 64
gauge05=rcb_groundhandling!TaxispeedFS2004, 86, 36, 60, 64 //NOTE-1
gauge06=rcb_groundhandling!BrakePressure, 146, 36, 50, 64
gauge07=rcb_groundhandling!PushbackStates, 0,0
gauge08=rcb_groundhandling!XMLSoundServerA,0,0
gauge09=rcb_groundhandling!BrakeSound, 0,0
gauge10=rcb_sound!sound,0,0,,,1088 9999 95 // 95:Default overall sound volume

I have done this with several other panels with no problems. I'm not sure why this one is different.

Thanks!

Hi Carob,

[Window01]
gauge70=rcb_groundhandling!Icon_Pushback,(size TBD)

There's no icon position or icon size given in your line. Please add a correct position and gauge size behind the name of the gauge. Instead of (size TBD) you must have four numbers which are the coordinates and size.

The "size TBD" was for your benefit. I know that that info can't be there. I am just not sure where I want to put it yet so I put the above in instead just to show that those numbers are TBD.

Hello,

That's weird indeed.....

Myself use also a pushback thirdparty gauge (not same as your) and all work fine..... (the simicon is set at right next the spoiler warning ...)

Window11=Pushback

gauge70=AS_Pushback!ToggleWindow, 125,324


[Window11]
size_mm=167,133
pixel_size=167,133
ident=10005
visible=0
position=1
gauge00=AS_Pushback!Pushback, 0,0
gauge01=AS_Pushback!Pushback2, 0,0



This is the gauge I use (from Avsim ...)

File Description:
This pushback gauge is extracted from the 'Air Scheffel' Boeing 737-800 (AS738.zip) for use in other aircraft.

Hi All,

carob,

When you could open the pushback tool from the menue, it must be a reason of the icon gauge. When you add this gauge to several other panels, it works also with this panel, because there's nothing special here. That's why I still think that you've placed the icon on a wrong place or with wrong coordinates. Please try it again maybe on another place in the panel. When you found a new place, you could post here the line again. Of course I could check for you if there are any problems with this coordinates. I'm sure we will find a solution.

Best Regards
Matthias

Somehow, not quite sure what did it actually, from the info above I was able to figure it out.

Thanks!
