Hello.

I´m happy with MB, until version 6.0. Why?, because all my programming for: Autopilot, Lights & buttons, 2 LCD displays and 2 encoders, etc, with a lot of values are erratic. Values impossibles, and moving the encoders I have impossibles values. I do not why, because that I have had to come back to MB 9.2.0. No problems with it. I can´t read any other gay with the same problems, buy if anyone has an idea I´m ready to buy it.

Thanks

Hi

I expect your effected of a bigger problem we got with 9.6.0
We implment there already a big new feature in the back (Modifier) but its not already vissible and useable in the front ( will come with 10.0)

The big disadvantage we not understand and prevent is that now Values that are Float (decimals) get pushed above the Transform field.
In the past there was a automatic truncate there. In the future there is a option to do the truncate (within the modifier tool)

That means.... Badly for now ( post 9.6 but pre 10.0 ) we have a periode where floats can get problematic but there is no GUI Feature to avoid this.


Solution:
You must simply avoid this situation in configs where you get in trouble by a little rework.
(Mostly only P3D Users ar effected.... FS2020 work way better and thats why our testings not show these problems for us)

So.... Use the "Truncate" or the "Round" !

Lets say for example a Config that occure in trouble got the Value 12,34567 But the Display get struggle cause it can not already handle floats.....
Simply say: Round($,0) in transform ..... Or ..... Truncate($)
Then 12,34567 is once again 12 like in the past and all work like before.

Thank you this answer. I´ll try it until the new version 10

Happy New Year, and many thanks for all your help until now. It´s a great pleasure.

Hi.

I just TRUNCATE all the values that gave me problems and now all is Ok.

Thank you very much. Your help is nice and clever.
