Hi,
Shame on Carenado/Alabeo behaviour. Their GEMxx.XML gauge works flawlessly in the Bonanza (included with P3D, but with less fonctionnalies).
The one on AC500S (for two engines) also !
And they surely have a similar working version in another of their numerous single-engined models.
Just after installing the 500s Shrike i took a look at the ContentErrors.txt as usual. I got 64 errors !
I know that WE (users) are not supposed to look at it, that it is reserved to developpers (which are supposed to use and check it before distributing their products) !!!
64 [error.xx] = new record !
- missing gauge image files
--- some really missing (wrong name),
--- a lot of other with a fake name in the XML (in order to not display, instead of commenting or deleting the <image> tag. Work of lazy people !!)
Code:
<Image id="Gauge_FF_DIG" Name="Gauge_FF_DIGINOP">
<Transparent>True</Transparent>
</Image>
The image in the cab file is "Gauge_FF_DIG.bmp" used only in the old 2D panel version !
- GPS_530 : lot of errors originating from the genuine FSX (FS9 ?) GPS gauge !
- A lot of typos (missing L before a local variable name, missing macro definition, double macro definition - never used in the gauge !!!)
- Copyright info in the sound.cfg file not correctly put in comments.
I was able to fix all of them in two hours of Notepad++.
The same type of errors where also in the Beech D18S (published latter and all fixed by me as well).
A lot of developpers claim that it as no impact, BUT 64 errors messages, some regularly repeated MUST have an impact.
Alabeo/Carenado don't even consider their customers, just their money !
And don't try to get support - you know the - cut and paste - answers
A very angry customer
