Hi Guys

New build is going great at the moment as now doing the overhead panel, but I've hit a small issue with the 20 colum, 4 line displays..

How can I use this to show the AC / DC Voltage Amps?

Not sure what the offsets would be for it?

I've got the LCD running and is currently showing the heading, alt, speed etc just to test and works fine.

Thanks

Last I checked it was only possible to display 4 values on a display at one time regardless of size (mine are 16x2).

What I was thinking to do with one of mine was have a switch or toggle button to set a value in a custom offset, then have different displays set up with preconditions based on the value of that offset.

If 0x66C0 = 1 then display heading, alt, speed etc
If 0x66C0 = 2 then display AC / DC Voltage Amps

https://www.projectmagenta.com/all-fsuipc-offsets/
^ there are many different offsets available for voltages and amps in different systems of the aircraft.

Hope that's some help.

Hi Guys... 2 Things

About Ryans Button sytem.
This is basicly correct... BUT at the moment there is a Bug in Mobiflight. In LCD Display Configs a active precondition occure in a Save-Error.
We hope to fix this next release.

@ Ridge....
Please tell us what AddOn you use.... Standard FSX not have this Data on a single Offset.... Whatever you maby can readout different Offsets for that.
For exampe PMDG got a own STRING offset that include this value.
Good Luck !

Hi together,

soon there will be a new version of Mobiflight that allows you to define more than 4 variables with LCDs. The error with the preconditions will then also be eliminated, as well as the memory problem that also affects the placeholders. Sebastian is still working on the last details. So stay tuned.
Grüße,
Stephan (Time: UTC+2)

Hi

For PMDG you need the Offsets ....
iconQuote:

6C40 13 STR[13] ELEC_MeterDisplayTop[13]
6C4D 13 STR[13] ELEC_MeterDisplayBottom[13][/quote]

If this should be a realistic Cockpit you should think about using 7 Segment Diggits.... thats no LCD Display in real aircrafts !

Check this ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v62Tt-SzR8

Good Luck !
