Post 3d Gauge Tooltips ?
on: June 30, 2012, 08:06

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to add a tooltip to my RPM gauge modelled in 3d, I've attached the MouseRect via the menu in 3ds Max but nothing shows within the P3D

Here is the code.

<PartInfo>
    <Name>needle_rpm</Name>
    <AnimLength>100</AnimLength>
    <Animation>
      <Parameter>
        <Code>(A:GENERAL ENG RPM:1, rpm) 100 /</Code>
      </Parameter>
    </Animation>
    <MouseRect>
      <TooltipID>TOOLTIPTEXT_TACHOMETER_RPM</TooltipID>
    </MouseRect>
  </PartInfo>

Many thanks

Craig

Thanks Jan, but it didn't work :( ..... but then I realised I had not changed the paths in the XtoMdl GUI to Prepar3d instead of FSX (bangs head on desk).

So after 3 days of pulling eyebrows it now works.

Keep ONE copy of modeldef.xml in a single folder from which both Prepar3D and FSX can have access...

In fact, I have a unique modeldef.xml file for each project in this same folder, and simply rename 'em as needed for whichever model I've currently got loaded in Max...

E:\Model XML Files\

    B737_modeldef.xml
    SR22_modeldef.xml
    C310R_modeldef.xml
    et cetera.
