MobiFlight Community Support

hello,
I have a problem since the last update of MF:
On an LCD screen, for example, I displayed the value of the barometer by $$.$$: if the flight sim value was 29.843854869, it displayed 29.84. Now it shows me the last digits: 48.69.
I don't know how to solve the problem.
I have the same problème with RPM, InHg etc...
Anyone have a solution? Thanks in advance.

Hi

This is a side effect of our last patch. We build the base structure for Mobiflight v10.0 where we handle "Float Values" in a much more easy and modern way there.

The Problem: With MF9.6 we implement the logic that a Float Value is no longer automatically truncate already.

In the past a value of 123,456789 was pushed to Output as 123
Today its pushed as 123,4567789
And in case a LCD show Numbers from Right to left it show in your example with 29.843854869 simply 4869
By the way... In the past it just show 29 pretty sure.... I expect you use something like "$*100" to get 2984.3854869 Cause you use the Decimal Hard $$.$$

Solution:
Until we get the new "Padding Tool" in MF 10.0 i recommend.....

Transform : Truncate($*100) ( To cut after 4 diggit) or Round($*100,0) for round the Value to 4 Diggits
(Ask yourself if 29.84999 should show 2984 or 2985 )
Then $$.$$ will work.

Alternate:
Use Round($,2) and use in Display just $$$$$
Then the Result of 29.843854869 is then 29.84 and is shown on the Display ! ( Use 5 Plcaeholders cause the decimal also need one diggit.... with 4 it will show 9.84

Thank you very much for the quick response ;
I suspected it was something like that but my programming skills are not very developed.
(I had tested int($): I don't know the instructions used...
Is there a site where I can find the language used ?

Thank you, round($,2) works fine !

Thank you, round($,2) works fine !

No it wont work....

Nclac is Case Sensetive!

round($,2) will NOT work..... The "R" Must be capital.
It must be Round($,2)
