Hi Guys

I have a 737 throttle unit with the trim wheel built on the side which is manually operated which works fine, but for me to see what position it is actually in requires me to open the virtual cockpit to view the numbers... Is there a way I can install a 7 segment and have it display this number instead?

I know with tool tips turned on in the cockpit, I can set it by using the mouse wheel, for example 4.5 for take off?

Cheers

Hi

Not 100% Correct, cause PMDG got her a internal logic that work a little different whatever you increase or decrease the Wheel..... But the difference is just maby 0,1% .... So it is not important, cause in real Aircraft we also Trim via a Analog Scale. Your Aicraft will take off wonderfull whatever the trim is 0,1 +/- away from calculated value.
Problems still occure if trim is extremly wrong.

Check This.... https://www.mobiflight.com/forum/message/12702.html

Good Luck !

Hi Ridge,

I use the trim value with a 7-Segment Display.

User Offset 0x0BC0 2 Bytes INT, Mask 0xFFFF
Transform: ($+5000)/12.65
To display the value take 4 digits.

Grüße,
