That's too deep in the internals for my understanding to be sure of
anything. That said, it looks to me as the code would calculate
something along value=property*factor+offset, which would match my
expectation and some of my construeing the model-howto. Why the A-10
fuel drums use offsets of powers of 10 I'm unsure about; perhaps that
was needed previously, but it looks wrong in the first place, given the
above mentioned expectation. So when replacing the offsets with -0.1,
(and the latest cvs, not my hack) the fuel gauge seems to work again.

I didn't look into that, but perhaps the the same as said above applies
here too.

I can't reproduce that, i.e. since the latest cvs (meaning the commit by
frohlich of Dec 31 15:48:02 2007 UTC) messing around with factors in
Aircraft/b1900d/Instruments/altset.xml (please forgive my again ripping
her apart *g*) did work as expected.
Though when playing around to come up with my previous post, I had
somehow the impression, that depending on different combinations of
configuration properties some of them "tended" to get ignored. That lead
me to an inconclusive search in that "expression" stuff. I still entertain
a vague suspicion, that perhaps the animation_value and value
business (or the simplifying) as it existed before the latest cvs might
have been erroneous, although I could not isolate anything specific.
Someone more in the know could perhaps keep an eye on that.
