  1. You could do it my using seperate elements for each throttle range you wamt to display and use visibilty as a trigger to display each range, so for the "Climb" visibilty you could use ((A:general eng throttle lever position:1,percent) 75 > (A:general eng throttle lever position:1,percent) 90
  2. You have not included in your script how you want the digits to be displayed, here's an example:

     

    %((A:Selected DME, number) 2 ==)%{if}%((A:NAV2 DME, nmiles) s0)%{else}%((A:NAV1 DME, nmiles) s0)%{end}%(l0 0 >=)%{if}%(l0 10

     

    The highlighted code is what determines how the digits are displayed, here's what the SDK says about formating numbers:

     

    Formatting Numbers

    The format for numbers is contained within the !...! marks.

    The last letter is required and is case-sensitive, is the formatting of the variable, where:

     

    s = string.

    d = decimal number (integer). If the number is not an integer, it is rounded to the nearest integer. Note that rounding, not truncation occurs.

    f = number (floating point)

    The formatting letter can be preceded by a number, which is the minimum number of digits to display, and is optional. For decimal numbers the following rules apply:

    If d is preceded by the digit ‘0’, then leading zeros are added if necessary.

    If d is preceded by ‘-‘, text is left-aligned.

    If d is preceded by ‘+’, a ‘+’ symbol is indicated in front of the number when the number is greater than 0 (a ‘-‘ is always used to indicate numbers less than 0).

    If d is preceded by ‘ ‘ (space), leading spaces are added if necessary.

    For floating point numbers, the following rule applies:

     

    If a decimal point is used in the formatting number, the digit after the decimal point specifies the number of digits to display after the decimal point.

     

    Hope this helps.

  3. Don't get me started on the legislature and its ability to conduct "investigations" on diddly squat. :)

     

    As for an IRL plane, I do admit that I googled how much planes cost and ended up staring at the computer screen for a solid 2 minutes without blinking. Good lord. A flying club seems much more realistic for someone in my position, who will not be investing in this hobby interest for purposes of a career but just for the sake of a hobby. I mean, literally, a forty-year old Cessna 172 goes for the same price as a brand new Porsche.

     

    At least if I ever pitch the idea of a Porsche to the wife, she could drive it too!

     

    I see what you mean, did a search and found a 1973 Cessna C172 J Rocket for sale at £129,795 ($182,660)!! it did say that it was "totally refurbished all new" but still a lot of money.

  4. The Boeing 737 Max has resumed passenger service in some countries but who is willing to fly in it? I found this "According to a poll from UBS Group, 70% of passengers would hesitate to book a flight on the 737 MAX. Perhaps even more poignant is a study that suggests more than 40% of passengers would be willing to take a more expensive or inconvenient flight to stay off the deadly plane.", dosen't look good for the Max, would you trust it?
  5. I can show you an example of how to do a default FSX gauge popup, but it is worth noting that not all gauges are accessible it depends on how they are packaged, .dll & .gau files are not accessible. Another thing you need to know is that the default gauges don't look that good when enlarged because of the low resolution textures used in the gauges.
