Hi!
I tried to use the alias feature in a 3d instrument config-file:
<PropertyList>
<path>fuel_gauge.ac</path>
<params>
<tank-select>consumables/fuel/tank[0]/level-lbs</tank-select>
</params>
<animation>
<type>rotate</type>
<object-name>Needle</object-name>
<property alias="../../params/tank-select"/>
<interpolation>
<entry><ind>0</ind><dep>-216</dep></entry>
<entry><ind>700</ind><dep>-90</dep></entry>
<entry><ind>1400</ind><dep>36</dep></entry>
</interpolation>
<axis>
<x>-1</x>
<y>0</y>
<z>0</z>
</axis>
</animation>
</PropertyList>
And that worked OK, the gauge showed the contents of tank[0], the default.
When I wanted to show the contents of another tank (tank[1]) , I used the same
approach as for 2d instruments. I added this to the model config file:
<model>
<name>FUEL</name>
<path>Aircraft/king-air-200/Instruments/fuel_gauge.xml</path>
<params>
<tank-select>consumables/fuel/tank[1]/level-lbs</tank-select>
</params>
<offsets>
<x-m>2.809</x-m>
<y-m>-0.757</y-m>
<z-m>0.556</z-m>
<pitch-deg>-38</pitch-deg>
<heading-deg>90</heading-deg>
</offsets>
</model>
But the gauge still shows the contents of tank[0]. Is the alias feature
unavailable for 3d instruments, or have I used the params tag incorrectly in
the model config file?
I was planning on using the alias feature for a lot of switches, instead of
making a lot of 3d-instrument config files.
