Hello to all,
First of all I'd like to say that the CIVA INS is just a gorgeous gauge to fly with.

And now to my little problem: I was trying to implent the CIVA INS into Matthias Liebrechts BAe panel. After flying around a bit with it I decided that it was time to adjust the design of the gauges to the look and feel of the panel. So I redid the artwork. (Plastic rocker switches and background color) and was quite satisfied with the effect.
While slapping myself on the shoulder for a job well done I ran into serious trouble. Which is to say error code 08-20 (Internal protection check). First I tried it with the original gauge - works. Then I set back the date of modifying in the modified gauge - 08/20.

If I did something you are annoyed about I will throw it in the garbagebin immediatly and fly with the original artwork and excuse me.
But if I did'nt, can anyone tell me what went wrong, please?

best regards
Palani

I have to admit that I thought so and got the modified one deleted
Since then I went through your SDK but that did'nt was without problems. I am more into VB and have not make too much with C++ but was willing to give it a try (like the one riding a bicycle, you know?)

First I tried to compile your INSAMPLE Project.

In your INSAMPLE.C is an include of fs2k2.h which I did'nt have. So I get it in my head to substitute it with the gauges.h from the FS9 SDK (Which was written for FS8 anyway). This seems OK that far, since I did'nt get any 'missing argument' thingys.

Apart from that I got error C2664 within UPDFLAGS.C which is something about the compiler can't convert the 'number' from 'type1' to 'type2'. As far as I tried to understand it there has changed something in the language over the years. But that is as far as I got.
In addition I get a 'double definition error' within your CIVASDK about INSUNIT.

I guess this comes from the version I am using.

I am using MS VC98 (quite a dinosaur, I know) and I'm wondering what do I miss? I really would appreciate some help because I'd like to finish this off under my own steam before I bother you with the bitmaps I made.

Hi again,
I'm so dumb I can't stand it. While I was saying I was using the gauges.h from FS9 I was actually the gauges.h from FSX, which is obviously intended to be used with VC++2005.
After I recognized my fault and changed to the one from FS9 (thus after banging my head on the wall for a few minutes) I finally made it. I put it into the panel and it works just fine.
Thanks again for your sorrows.

One last question within this thread: Am I allowed to broadcast it to those, who want to use it in the BAe-panel? I've read in the manual that broadcasting gauges made with the SDK to be freely constributed without permission but while I was in the very first thread here admitting that I was breaking the rules I just want to be sure.

best regards

PS: VC98 is actually VC6. But it's like that FS9 is also Microsoft Flightsimulator 2004
