Whiskey Compass: a question

[Cees Donker]

I want to use this gauge in a plane I'm building, but the strip shows too low. How do I change that? Is it even possible?

I meant too high. Mustn't post things just before bed-time!

Hello Cees
I'm not too familiar with XML gauges, so not sure that it has to be done, but you can try to increase the Y value:
<Element>
<Position X="19" Y="14"/>

Have a nice day, cheers

Thanks Martin. As they say: asking a question is answering that same question. I found a tutorial (simple) that explains xml gauge programming. And the value that must be increased is the other Y value:

<Element>
<Position X="19" Y="14"/>
<MaskImage Name="kompas_window.bmp">
<Axis X="40" Y="0"/>

Wonderfull Cees
I would be happy to know more about XML gauges, can you please send me the link to this tuto?

Many thanks Cees
I dropped a quick eye on it, and it seems I'll find there an answer on how to do a 3D compass, reacting to pitch and bank, lovely!
