Hello

After upgrading to MobiFlight, the 7-segment LED stops working after a few moments.

Hi

This is a known Bug!

Whatever your "few moments" is missleading.
The confirmed bug result in a blank of Displays after exactly 15 Minutes without do a change on a Output!

So.... If its the "15 Min Bug" then please just confirm this.... And expect a Hotfix the next days/weeks.
( You can troubleshoot this easy by create a LED Device on the board where the Display is used.... And you create a Config for that LED in MF.
The LED not have to be physical there.... And also the Config not have to make sense.....
The Bug is just the "wakeUp call" is missing if board only include 7Seg and no LED´s)

BUT
If your Bug is different..... Please more Details. Then we can have a look

Thanks !
Good Luck !

Official NO.
In the past this was possible but meanwhile ( since we use a installer instead of a ZIP File) its not so easy....

I recommend.... Do the workflow.... Cost you just 2 Minutes of time. For sure less time as get in contact to me or to write this request to get a old copy of 9.4.0.

If you really need this downgrade..... Check your MF Folder.... There should be a backup ( ZIP File) for all former Versions you use.
For sure only there, if you use MF already prior 9.5 !

I could also give you that file via DISCORD....
But Note.... You also need to EEPROM Clear all your Boards cause older Version also need older Firmware!!!!

Summary: Possible but not recommend and a lot of work ..... And finally not needed cause the troubleshoot is much more easy.
Good Luck !

Hi,

Just to report that this is also happening in My Sim since the last update and I will wait for the possible fix in a future update. :)

Kind Regards

Bernie.:)

Edit: Did as suggested above and all is now good. Thank you.:)

The fix is already available in the latest beta version, you can update now and verify that it also works for you, or wait 2 weeks until the release will be public.
Have a great day!

Thank you, :) I did update and did not realise that that was in the update, I could not see a change log when I did it. Excellent, Thanks again.

Sorry about that....
We normaly not provide a changelog within the BETA process.
If you really intrested in this you can check out Github Page and see what codeparts and what official issues are involved in each Version.

Whatever we allow all users to join the Beta progress ( e.g. in your case to get access to a hotfix faster then wait for the next release in some weeks)....
But we can not take care here for Changelogs, Tutorials and so on.
Beta is what it is.... A Testing ground without garantee for function and without guidness.
Good Luck !
