HI
Been using mobiflight lcds for at least 5 years and recently the value shown on the screen differs from what is shown on the mobiflight that you edit.
any value that fluctuates like air speed, altitude do not display correctly on the screen .On the mobi flight config page they display correct.

Thanks

Hi

I expect the problem starts with Version 9.6

There we implement a new "Float Logic" to handle decimals more easy in MF.
Badly this feature have a negaitve side effekt on some Spots.

In the past a Float Value was automatically truncated.... so e.g. 123,4567890 was shown as 123 after Transform.
Now MF handle the whole Number including the Decimals .

For a LCD this can occur in trouble cause it is filled from Right to Left (instead like a 7Seg that is filled from Left to Right).
Thats why 7Seg Configs not struggle whatever we have the same internal problem here.

Lets expect you show a 5 Number Value like Altitude.... In the past Value was 12345 .... Today its 12345,67890
From Right to left your Display with 5 Placeholders (Alt: %%%%%) show now Alt: 67890


Solution:
Round or floor the Value ....
Something like in Transform you say Floor($) or Round($,0)
Then Decimals are eliminated and it work like before.

Thanks for your help. I will give it a try
