Another one for the Gauge Guru's

Since I know nothing about gauge programming, I'll ask here again. I'm looking for a gauge that occupies very little space, and simply adds up the Empty Weight, Fuel, and Cargo/Pax loads and then displays a total over a small dark background. It would be nice if it turned off with the Battery switch, but it's not a requirement.

Does such a thing exist, or can anyone whip up a little XML for one? There's a (virtual) six-pack waiting for anyone that can help!
 
Barkin' up the wrong tree here, in fact I don't even have a tree. I always thoughtXML was a trouser size, Extra Medium Large, for those indecisive gents.

That would be a handy gadget to have. Be nice to know if you needed to dump fuel (or pax) to reach landing weight.

The SectionF8 Sabre has a running total weight in their aircraft status window. So the code has been done.

Someone just needs to figure out how to make that an independent gauge.
