Hi.
You can use SEARCH (Also on Discord) for more detailed guides ( Pretty sure written here in Forum 10+ times)

Basic Help:

The Altitude is a Signed/Unsigned Problem .... Means Value not goes from 0-65535 .... it workes from - −32.768 to +32.767
So it change into a hudge negative Value if Alt is greater then 32700 feet in the Display.....
Solution:
Use Compare enabled and say...
If Value less then "<" Zero "0"
THEN: $+65535

This should solve the Alt Problem!

About VS.
If Vartical speed is not active ( Blank in Sim) it show this fixed negative Value .... i think its - 16965 or so....
Here we have different ways.... For example if you use also the Compare to show "0000" instead of "0" .

But basically we can say Compare enabled :
IF Value is less then "<" -9900 ( VS Descent can not be 10.000)
THEN Show 5 Spaces ' '

Again.... I not know if you also work with the Display Blank Offsets... I not know if you use NGX"u" with its new MCP Display Blank Logic.... and i not know if you use MAster Battery Logics.
So this is just the basic idea.
For a more complex Logic you need to cantact me on Discord.... So we can figure it out together !
Good Luck !

Thanks!!! iam closer!! is working, only difference is " $+65535 " is no the same as "$ + 65536" I forgot to set spaces between i just copied and paste.. any ways.. now go over 32700 but, for example if want to go to FL340 display showme 33999, rom 32700 and up. the last two digits is always 99 ( ex 33400= 33399, 39000=389990 and so on..)
PMDG/ NXu
MAster Battery Logics = not clue what this means.. sorry. I f you refer to my master battery. yes is on and engines running.

Sorry i got a issue in logic.... for sure it must be $+65536 ( i forgot that Zero is also a number in my logic)

the "Spaces" are not needed and wrong.... In MF Syntax formulas there are never spaces ( expect in Strings)

Battery Logic means you make e.g. a condition if a Display should be blank if Master Battery switch is OFF, or if e.g. there is no voltage on the Bus.
For NGX"u" there exist a more easy Offset .....
iconQuote:

6C81 1 BYTE MCP_indication_powered true when the MCP is
powered and the MCP
windows are indicating



Additional there are also Indicator Offsets for VS and SPD if they should be active or show nothing in case VNAV/LNAV is On.
iconQuote:

6532 1 BYTE MCP_VertSpeedBlank Boolean
6528 1 BYTE MCP_IASBlank Boolean

Good Luck !

thanks Pzman.. I' ll try now with those Offset for Nxu.. and what about values in my altitude. , ex 33400= 33399, 39000=389990 and so on..

as i write above....
If you use my first solution it occure in this "999".
If you use $+65536 instead of the wrong 65535 then it will work!

You pretty sure see it already yourself .....

If 33400 is by fault shown as 33399 then we simply add "1" less as needed.
Good Luck !
