Hi
Have a look at the default xml gauges for the DeHavilland_Comet,look at the slip/turn guage this will show you how to nest gauges.There are some nice period gauge in this and the Vickers_Vimy cab files (you will find them in the aircrafts panel folder

I like the idea of the XML gauges. But just like Woody, I have to hit the books [if I can find any].

Hi
I just use notepad and IE for checking
Have a look for a file called xmlgau01.zip (try flightsim.com)
by Arne Bartels it has a full listing of all the variables grouped together from FS2002 but basically the same for FS9.Also if you havnt got the panels SDK grab it form here
http://www.microsoft.com/games/flightsimulator/fs2004_downloads_sdk.asp#panels
but make sure ya have plenty of pain killers

Also I use Izarc
http://www.izsoft.dir.bg/izarc.htm
for cab files,once ya get use to the interface its a snap to make and extract cab file
Cheers

Also worth reading Ken Smith's panel design tute which includes a rundown of XML gauges

http://www.simviation.com/fsdesign_panels1.htm

Quote:

Simple Panel Design. This browser-based, Internet style, ten lesson tutorial on panel and gauge design covers FS98 through FS2004. The only software tools required design panels are the Windows accessory programs "Notepad" and "Paint". The tutorial explains in detail what's in an aircraft's panel configuration file (PANEL.CFG), how to edit that file and other Flight Simulator configuration files. It explains the difference between GAU and XML gauges, how to extract,edit,and create your own XML gauges, how to use Windows "Notepad" to add, change, and reposition gauges on an instrument panel, and how to use Windows "Paint" to change the look, color, and size of instrument panels. The tutorial lessons are linked to hands on, step-by-step exercises. Screen captures illustrate examples in the lessons and exercises. Requires Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher, or other equivalent XML-enhanced web browser. For beginner through advanced intermediate users. Ken Smith. 4.6MB Filename: PDToot.zip
