Hello @SnappedMink3541

There are several mistakes in your configuration:

  • The VFS path to your instrument in VCockpit is incorrect (there is an error in the console indicating ALT.html was not found), you should provide Airliners/Fokker100/ALT/ALT.html
  • You want to use size_mm in the VCockpit section, not size
  • Your link element in ALT.html is incorrect, you have one extra >
  • Your UVs are flipped, so the gauge will not show properly. You will probably need to adjust ratio as well

I also note you have a behavior component to control this gauge visibility, that uses a template that does not exist.

Regards,
Sylvain

Hello, thanks for your reply and guidance.

Can you send me a proper code sample in model.xml and behavior component sections? I beg you to send it to me. I am a beginner and I am facing many challenges as I don’t have anyone to help me. What is your overall opinion about my project? Thanks

Hello, thanks for your reply and guidance.

Can you send me a proper code sample in panel.xml and behavior component? Please send it to me. I am a beginner and I am facing many challenges because I don’t have anyone to help me. What is your overall opinion about my project? Thanks. Sorry I sent the message again and wrote model.xml instead of panel.xml

I won’t be able to provide much individual support. You’ll understand I cannot write behavior files for you. You won’t need it anyway for the gauge to correctly show up.
Here’s the files I’ve changed for the gauge to show up:

There are plenty of resources available to help you learn:

  • the official documentation
  • the “Questions & Discussions” section of this forum, where you can ask other developers questions. Most of them will help if possible. Just take the time to ask clear and documented questions, they won’t make an effort if you don’t.
  • FSDeveloper, which is a similar support platform for developers
  • Some great youtube channels, where you will find in depth tutorials.

Your aircraft is good looking. Be patient and you’ll make it :wink:
Good luck

Regards,
Sylvain
