GMax Trimtabs XML missed or not working codes

Hi friends,
A) - It seems the code "Lever_Trimtab_Elevator_Key" in GMax's "makemdl.parts.xml" is missed. I can find it in "TagTool_1.0.2.ms" script, but NOT in "makemdl.parts.xml".
I used the "lever_trimtab_elevator_Trimotor", it works with the keyboard/joystick commands, BUT the mouse tip doesn't appears and the ring isn't clickkable.
B) - I used the "Lever_Trimtab_Rudder_Key" code, present in both files, but it seems it has the same problem (works, BUT without mouse tip and NOT clickkable ring).

Can someone help me ? PLEASE, IT IS VEEERY URGENT !!!!!

I use this for the trim wheel: Lever_Trimtab_Elevator (gives 8-10 revolutions during trimming; mouse grab)

I use this for a moving trimtab indicator: trimtab_elevator (moves very slowly and not too far, not for mouse grab)

Otherwise look at the XML code. There are many trim XML names. Copy the mouserect function from one and try it
 
This may work for you:
Code:
   <part>
      <name>trimtab_elevator_key</name>
      <animation>
         <rotation>X</rotation>
         <parameter>
            <sim>
               <variable>ELEVATOR TRIM POSITION</variable>
               <units>radians</units>
               <bias>0</bias>
               <scale>0.50</scale>
            </sim>
         </parameter>
      </animation>
   </part>

I seem to no longer have the FS9 SDK or tools installed on my newest dev machine...
 
Thanks for jumping in Bill. Manuele's major concern as I understood it was that the animation worked but the Mouse Grab did not.

"... works with the keyboard/joystick commands, BUT the mouse tip doesn't appears and the ring isn't clickable."
