Gauges not showing up in virtual cockpit panel

[kesmarkip]

Dear All,

I hope somebody will be able to help me :)

I'm trying to populate with gauges a simple aircraft interior, without success.
I'm following all the guidance in the SDK, still no result.

The texture has the $ prefix, and the panel.cfg also looks just fine. Also the 2D panel works as expected, so I suspect the issue is around the 3d model...

Any guesses?

Thanks,

Peter

This is much more difficult than this..(especially when you're trying to modify default planes)
You should try to modify the .xml file inside the .cab file.
The fsx version .xml cannot be loaded correctly in the p3d sdk...

biller,

thanks for your reply.
I can change the the gauges in the default planes, I have difficulty to map the right texture in my own 3d model.

So for example, I managed to change the Piper Cub gauges, even adding new ones. But when I'm loading in my own aircraft, the gauges are not showing up.
I`ve found two rules in the sdk:
- $ prefix is needed for the texture in the 3d model
- in the panel cfg I should refer to this texture

I think I`m following this instructions, but no success...
