I know this has been brought up many many times but Im new to the mobiflight thing.
I am in the process of building a T-45 sim with FSX Steam and FSUIPC. I am having success
with both. Now I'm building gauges and stuck with issues on my EGT gauge.
My current settings are:
Engine 1 EGT, 0x08be, INT, 2 bytes, 0xffff
Transform $860/16384

Stepper
Sim/Stepper 3600/2048
Test Value 3060

My gauge tests good and I was able to set Interpolation values at:
0 0
1000 310
2000 555
3000 760
4000 1010
5000 1290
6000 2150
7000 2770
8000 3060
With FSX running, gauge moves to 400c and just stays there.
Do I need to plug in the numbers from the sim at each location and where ?

Hi Craig

At first the formula looks strange....

Transform $860/16384
Maybe a typing issue or you miss a operator between $ and 860

About Interpolation.... This is need if your Gauge is NON Linear. If it is linear a Interpolation is not needed.
There are lots of ways to do this.....

Best way if i should help you is if you show me a picture of your gauge..... and you tell me the FSUIPC Raw value for lowest and highest Point.
Then i can tell you how to config it.
If possible lets talk in DISCORD..... Much more pfofitable like here.
Good Luck !

@ JPG

I´m sorry. I not remember to this situation. Got so many private help requests.... So i not know what i did half year ago in this case.

Basicly.... The solution would not help you.... Cause it was personal build to the gauge THAT user owned.

The basic system is explaned multiple times here in Forum and in some User Videos. So you can search for it..... And if you not found the needed information you can ask again here.... then i will explane once again !
Just Note.... A perfect Guide is not possible here cause each gauge and AddOn Aircraft is individual. There is no way to puplish "numbers" you need to input in the fields.... Cause each single insturment use it´s own values to work !
Good Luck !
