Hello , I am hoping to get some help with a problem, I am in the process of making a mcp and have been testing the 7 segment displays, as I am new to mobiflight and am still learning my way round, the problem I have is I had one 8 digit 7 segment display connected to MF, test works fine but when I am in msfs2020, I had it programed to alt value and changing the altitude in game from 900 feet to 1000 feet would come up on my 7 segment display as 999 and am un able to get it to read 1000, this happens at random points , it won't read a whole number , will only read , say going from 2000 to 3000 will go up normal to 2400 but goes to 2499 not 2500 then goes to 2600. Sorry for the ass about explanation, but it is so hard to explain

Hi

This is a "rounding" Problem.... Do you still use FSUIPC Offsets or do you use our new "Simconnect Outputs" feature for FS2020 ??? ( I think you use FSUIPC)

MF and the Display work correct.... You can check this by look on the MF Connector Window while running.....
Right of your Config you see two collumns..... FSUIPC Value and OUTPUT Value. The "wrong" Output Value occure in case of your calculation

Means for a Value of 1000ft the result is maybe 999,974658923 ..... But Mobiflight simply show this..... It ignore all behind the decimal and show 999

To solve this you need the "Round" command ..... like Round((your formula),0) Then the result is fine.

OR!!!!

Use the new system. those bad results mostly occure only with FSUIPC. The new Simconnect Outputs should give you 100% fine Values without any formulas or recalulations !
