[simpits-tech] FS2k2 XML gauges

[Sean Galbraith]

Has anyone had a look at XML gauge programming?

Been thinking... which is generally quite dangerous, take Squawkbox-CSL for 
example :)

I am currently projecting my HUD with my OTW view, and it is quite 
readable... even at the relatively low resolution I'm using (and the crap 
screen....)  SO I was thinking that programming a HUD as an XML gauge might 
be a better way to go, rather than trying to build a working HUD, and have 
to drive it with completely custom written software.

For the A-4 most of the components of the HUD are available as XML, which I 
guess I could hack around to make them work (like make instruments 
transparent etc...)

Has anyone tried messing with the gauges... I haven't looked yet, but has 
M$ put out a gauge/panel SDK yet?
