Hi
I am using P3D v4.5 and PMDG 737 NGX.
When setting the chronometer I use the setting 0x023B for zulu hour output.
However I need to add the following to compare to get show the correct hour.
<10 set it to $*10 else $/10.
But when the hour is 21 it still shows 09.

But if I set the minute zulu to 0x023C and the clock is let say 8 minutes past the hour = for an example 07:08 the output on the display shows .80
And if I use the reverse digit it shows correct :08 but when it comes to 20 minutes past the hour it shows 02. That is natural with reverse digit setting.
But if I use the compare same as for hour it cannot display minutes at all since 4/10=0,4 and that is not possible for the 7 segment display to show.

Does someone have the correct settings for the chronometer and elapsed time (ET) setup?

Believe me I HAVE been looking for this for weeks now and not found anything.

Double Post !! Please not reopen a other topic if you also create a new one.

About solution:

Reverse Diggit is NOT working here.
This is just a tool for People who use a special Max7219 Setup where the Diggits are in wrong direction.
So for regulary Users with standard Hardware this Option is NEVER used !

Also dividing and multiplying your Raw Time is wrong !

Your only problem is..... From 0-9 it is a single Diggit .... from 10-59 or 10-12 or 10-23 it is a 2 diggit number and work fine !

So the key should be LEFT PADDING Yes .... Typ "0" .....

The 4 Situations:
Lets say we show Number "8" on a 2 Diggit Display..... ( " _ " Represent a Blank empty Diggit)

Without Left Padding and Typ "0" : "8 0"
Without Left Padding and Typ "Space" : "8 _"
With LEft Padding and Typ "0" : "0 8"
With Left Padding and Typ "Space" : "_ 8"

This should be the solution..... Else ( e.g for LCD Displays) we need a special IF Condition in Compare including Character Strings !
Good Luck !
