Minor issues with XML gauges rendering

Version: 1.0.84.0

Frequency: Consistently

Severity: Low

Marketplace package name: Indiafoxtecho F-35 and probably any other plane with XML graphics

Context: MSFS2020 airplanes with XML graphic elements (imported in the MSFS2024 Community folder)

Bug description:
Now that we have XML gauges working (good job - thank you!) there are a couple of minor issues:

  1. GaugeText with conditional RPN expressions seem not to work as intended.
    NOTE: there is a workaround for this at code level - we could duplicate the text and apply a visibility condition…

  2. Gauge seems subject to (heavy) TAA, making graphics in displays not very clear

Repro steps:
Just load the F-35… the most evident case is the engine page, in which the digits are supposed to change color (green to red) if the indicated parameter is out of normal boundaries.
The digits do not follow the expected behavior and they are rendered in white (or red in some cases… but could not understand the logic of the color change).
Most likely the color script is misinterpreted by MSFS2024.

For example here is the script associated to the oil pressure (see the FontColor section).
This works correctly in MSFS2020 (text renders in green oil press is below 150 psi, turns red otherwise) - but it is white in MSFS 2024.

Hello @Scimmia1974

I checked this on 1.1.7.0 and everything seems back to normal.
All values were displayed in white and turned red when reaching the corresponding range.
Can you confirm?

Hi @FlyingRaccoon Eric

On our system it is not solved. The engine page still shows a number of white digits (which should be white at all - they should be either green or red).

Note that in our development build we have implemented a workaround for this issue so that, instead of having a code-dependent color, we write the digits multiple times and we switch color with visibility conditions.
