I am in the process of converting my MCP from Opencockpits to Mobiflight. I have most of the displays figured out including blanking the V/S display and the IAS/MACH A/B indicators (not flashing but from what I could gather from the German section of the section, the flashing A/B may be implemented in a future version). The IAS/MACH display is configured as follows:

FSUIPC: 07E2

Compare: If current value < 100, Set value to $ * .01 (To display MACH)

Display: 4 digits with Left padding enabled (Space)

IAS displays fine but there is a leading 0 on the MACH display (0 . X X)

Is there a way to blank this leading zero?

Thank you,

Pierre

Hi.

I just woked with PMDG and dont know the logic of the FSUIPC Value......

But i think you need to make TWO different Entrys for MACH and IAS ( With Preconditions that only One is working at the same time)

I Worked on MACh Display with integer.... For Exmaple Mach 0.69 i used a value of 69 and set a decimal Point only as a Dummy. So Just Multiply the value to get a integer,



By the Way.... I look to the FSUIPC List and see that " Mach Speed" is another offset.....
07E8 4Byte "Autopilot mach value" as Mach*65536

Maby this Offset is easyer like to comare the other one.

Please report when it workes..... thats interesting !
Good Luck !

Hi, how do you set dummy decimal point in Mobiflight?

The Decimal Point in a 7Seg Display ( NOT a LCD) is set "hardcoded"
You define it in the Display Tab by select a checkmark on that Position.

So lets say you have a Value of 5000 ...... Without a checkmark it is show as 5000. If you use a checkmark e.g. behind the most left diggit then it is shown as 5,000.
The Value is STILL 5000..... The Display still show 5000. Just MF "alltime" activate the choosen decimal Point !

Means in PMDG the Mach value is a number e.g. between 0,00 and 0,99 ...... So i multiply the number by 100 .....
It result in a number e.g. 1 (represen mach 0,01) and 99 ( Represent Mach 0,99 )

Then i activante the Decimal in the setings on the Position left of the 2nd Diggit like .xx

RESULT .... A Mach Value on Offset of e.g. mach 0,76 is shown as value 0.76 ..... Multiply by 100 it is 76 .... Display will show 76 now. With Decimal "left of 2nd Diggit" it show finally " .76 ".
Good Luck !
