Add LXNaV S100 to Panel

[arneh]

The positions of the normal S10 aren't the problem, the ones of the S10-i may be, it's where it's supposed to be, but only the knobs appear, and I also have no idea what speeds to put it.

You're nearly there, but the S10 is too far forward, so most of the instrument is behind the panel. Reduce the PosX value by a few millimeters and it will appear.

Condor support suggested that I ask "someone" on this thread to build me a .gau file to place the S-10 on the Pegase panel. I truly think that's asking too much, unless someone has one already. I have gone through the various substitutions of code in the standard .gau file, with the no-load result. I gather that the key is replacing the electric vario file section(s)with the S-10 file section(s), as provided several times in this thread, but that I need to alter the XYZ coordinates to avoid fatal overlap. Is that the key? Without file definition available, I'm reduced to guessing. Thanks.

I think you are on the right way. Before you start backup the original gau file.

Look at the values of other gauges in the same plane and use them as basic. And compare the gau file of other planes containing the gauge you want to add. All values are meters. The easiest value to find is PosX, because it's a high value, in my example (from the Pegase) 1,47 meters. PosX is the distance to a point in the plane (don't ask me which one). The higher the value, the further forward the gauge is. If you don't see the gauge, this value is most probably too high and the gauge is hidden behind the panel. Reduce it centimeter by centimeter (1,46 .. 1,45 a.s.o) until you see the gauge. Overlapping is at the beginning no problem. When you see the gauge, you are able to find the right position. PosY and PosX are the values for up/down and left/right. For left/right 0 is in the middle, up/down is relative to a line somewhere on the panel. Negative values are possible. That is a lot of try and error, but as I wrote, if you see it, you are close to success. I can't remember which variable is for which setting, made the last panel some hours ago, and have already forgotten again. I look at two gauges at the same height, if PosY is nearly the same, then that is the one for the height, else PosZ. For me it wasn't worth to remember it until now

PosX=1.47000014781952
PosY=0.0799999907612801
PosZ=-0.0629999861121178

If you found the right position, you can try other settings, f.x. rotation and zoom. Change it until you like the result.

It doesn't sound very professional, but it's the way working for me. And I always change the panels for my planes. Very important is to backup your gau file, because the next update will overwrite it.

Terrific explanation, very much appreciated. With what I have managed to figure out, and your very kind help, I will be able to get this done. Your explanation will serve many others, I'm sure.
