In any case it was only suggestion which was intended to help going ahead. I can't figure out why and how we're still trying to build instruments for which we don't know and don't see how will be the result on blind devices like iPad and Android, which eventually is worse process ever for years, all other area get their interest in the AM and AP world, however the iPad and Android part, made all of us put on the forums a whole bunch of assumption and time investment in troubleshooting with final users, on customers dev time, but not only, this also have been the case for SI support ...

Re: Selfmade gauges on Android?
Hi @Ralph, here a sample of kind of issue we are unable to check or fix on Android, which was reported by @cyberguerro, using Android 5.1.2 devices and same bug on his 3 identical devices
I should specify I don't encounter this bug on AM Desktop as shown in bottom screenshots and I don't have any Android device at home to check
There's overlapping text, where it shouldn't occurs on Android devices (again no issue on AM under windows), with Z_2D_XP MCDU 1.2.3 :
See there the "/" (slash char) overlapping the "FL" text info ("Flight Level"), however this is not the only one, I've seen plenty of similar issue from @cyberguerro pictures :
Could you do on your own, the checking we are unable to perform and confirm please, if the issue occurs on your Android device ?
Here's a sample without issue on AM Desktop :

Re: Selfmade gauges on Android?
It looks like these dots screw up the outlining, by pushing everything to the right. We couldn't figure out from the script where these dots come from, maybe you have an idea? Or maybe you can tell us which text item to look at?

Re: Selfmade gauges on Android?
Absolutely not
".692" is a standard notation for MACH speed (set internally by the ZiboMod fmc)
Hope you "heard" the issue don't come on Windows AM Desktop @Ralph
I have other awaiting screenshots where there's no "." dot involved. Just only think overlapping, which occurs in a few different circumstances than this one, that's it.
[EDIT] Here's a new sample for AM Desktop in which we don't see any issue :

I would point out if at some point in the process, SI is attempting to overwrite previous instrument with latest updated, rather than deleting at first the previous, on Windows plateform, we will continuously encounter this well-known issue ... !
Re: Selfmade gauges on Android?
As mentioned before. If you want a file name upper/lower case change, then you either have to change the name of the file, or explicitly mention this when submitting. But I don't think that this is the issue here.

Re: Selfmade gauges on Android?
The change was made a long time ago in sync with sharing with Tony together
Now :
- It works properly on AM Desktop
- It doesn't works properly on AM Android
Again we don't have access to any proper way to check in Android before submitting, just as a reminder and pointing out this worrying situation ...
In any case, thanks @Ralph and @Corjan having taken time to investigate until yet.
Re: Selfmade gauges on Android?
Just a small thing about the different platform support. Ideally every instrument would work in an identical way on every platform and I think SI are striving to achieve this but occasionally some inconsistencies occur that make little things like this happen. If we do not have the means and confidence to verify the correct operation on some platforms we always have the option to not tick those platforms in the instrument info.
That said, In this case I think it’s a good opportunity to figure out what it is that Android doesn’t like and either make the community aware of how to avoid it or make a change in Air Manager itself that fixes it.
I believe this is what is trying to be understood here.

Re: Selfmade gauges on Android?
Correct. It should behave the same, if not then we have to fix that. So there's no need to test on tablet versions.
