Hi

Offset: 0x02CC, Float, 8 bytes
Compare/Interpol: 360 - 0 and 0 - 360 ( 1024 -1024 is the default value of the second line. You have to edit this line because adding a new one will crash MBFLT )
Sim/Stepper: 360/4096 (1024)

You need no Compare here..... The changing is only in interpolation. Checkbox of compare is clear and no entrys in this area. Checkbox of interpolation is ON. First Line 0=360 Add new second line 360=0. That normaly should be enough.

And remeber to activate "Compass Mode"
At last i don´t know what you mean with (1024) in bracets in the Sim/Stepper line.... But i think you use 4096... Thats ok

My prototype Cessna gauges are working perfect with following values:

RPM 3500
Offset: 0x2400, Float, 8 bytes
Sim/Stepper: 77/32

VSI +/- 2000ft
Offset:0x02C8 (FSUIPC profile - General Current VS)
Sim/Stepper: 81/32

As i told you..... Important is, that youre gauges work.... But i think youre settings here are realy "unconventional" .
You reduce the Range of the cirqule to 32 With a 4096 Stepper this is a 1/128 or 2°
Then you define that a offset value of for exmaple 77 in RMP Gauge should shown as this 2° turning of the needlle.
Where do you learn that or what was youre intention there ?? If you Use in Sim Stepper simply Value Range/ 4096 its much clearer and usable to manage this.

BUT AGAIN.... it work... so its perfect for you !

I tried to add an Airspeed Gauge ( IAS 02BC or TAS 02B8 ) with Int and 4.
Sim/Stepper 400/32

But same Problem as compass, Airspeed is indicated in the wrong direction.
I tried several things with Compare and Interpolate - without success.
Someone has an idea ?

Dear Klaas

Without see youre Compares and Interpoaltion it´s not posible to understand youre system....

IAS 02BC is a multipied offset.... To show Knots you have to divide (Transform) it $/128 .... So the Value is 0-200+ as we like it on gauge.
Then i would use for Sim Stepper setting sim 200 (The highest Value/Scale on the display) And for Steps maby 3500 ( We need a +/- 80% Circle).
Then use Test Button and set Test=200.....
The Needle runs up to the maximum Point (Define by steps limit). If it stops exact on 200 bug of display its ok. If not you have to decrease or increase the "Steps" Entry until the "200 Test" exact stops at 200 bug..... If youre Gauge is symetric then every other Position is correct, too. If not you have to interpolate it.

If you not have an issue in youre system then the Stepper is clockwise here. Only the compass needs a direction change. Speed indicator must work already in right direction !


Again my request to awnser the question..... Why do you use for example 400/32 for Sim/Stepper entry ? Maby i do all the time wrong but i never see/read something that we should use this technic.

Thank You !
