Hi
At first.... Please take care this topic not change into a private Question/awnser thread. For those Questions the DISCORD System is much more better.

2. Flickering
Here we talk 99% about a Config Issue from Yourself.... Not a electrical or hardware problem.
If 2 ( or more) Configs try to controll the SAME Display at SAME time then this occure in your reported situation.
For example Config 1 like to write the SPD.... And use Something in Text field like
" SPD : %%% _ _ _ _ _ __ _ _" ("_ " means a empty field in that line )
Then Config 2 is used e.g. for HDG and show something like
" _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ HDG : &&&" in same line.
If you now RUN Mobiflight then both Configs try to handle the display.... Each like to "blank" the not used Segments..... Means Config 1 "overwrite" the Text of Config 2 with its blanks and reversed Config 2 overwrite the Text of Config 1.
To solve: Use only ONE Config for the Display.... And use BOTH Placeholders in this.
So Config1 read Speed from a Offset No device. Called e.g. "SPD Raw"
Config 2 read Heading... No Device.... Called e.g. "HDG Raw"
Config 3 is Your Display Config. It use the LCD as device. It not need a own offset as explaned in last posting.... remain "0000" here.
In placeholder you use Nr1: Config "SPD Raw" Symbol e.g. % ..... Nr2: Config "HDG Raw" Symbol e.g. &
As Text you use something like : "SPD: %%% - HDG: &&&"
Then only one Config controll the Display and include BOTH values ..... So the flickering is gone !

3. Wrong Number format:
Your right. The Left Padding tool is not available for LCD . In case most people not need this and it was a little difficult to implement.
But there is a way to handle this with some Syntax code in the compare Tab.
(We know this is advanced and not comfortable.... But it is needed so rare... So we decide to do it this way for now)
Try the follow:
In the SPD Config ( you read out the raw value and maybe also use transform to bring it into a clear knots format) . Use here COMPARE
Say.... IF VALUE less then 100 "< 100" in THEN you say :
if($<10,'00'$,'0'$) OR if this not work try
if($<10,'00'+$,'0'+$) ELSE can remain empty or you say $ there.
With this formula we say IF Value is below 10 ( so 1-9) show two Zeros and the value behind . So e.g. 5 change into 005 .
We also say... If value is not below 10 but still below 100 ( so 10-99) then show one Zero and value behind.... e.g. 35 change into 035
If value is 100 or above ( still 3 diggit long) we simply show it without changes.
Hopefully this work..... I not do this for longer time. If you get in trouble, then tell me. I will figure out for you once again !
