would it be possible to not send any signals to the displays until it gets the correct numbers from mobi config file?

Now when i boot up sim and mobi its just showing zeros... until it gets the data from mobi in flight. Would it be possible to mute this signal? Or somehow let it display --- or something else. Everything but 0000000s everywhere.

It would look so more pro

Yes and No.

BEFORE you startup Mobiflight the Display should be blanked... If not there is a issue in your System.....

AFTER You Startup Mobiflight the Displays will show the current value of the Offset.
So Yes... If you Start Mobiflight before you load the FSX Aircraft it will show the current Offset Value ( Mostly Zero aslong no aircraft is loaded)

Solution....

Please try out if the situation is ok for you when you Startup Mobiflight ( RUN) AFTER your Plane in FSX is full loaded.

If there then again some Displays that light up ( and you not like it) then you need Preconditions and Compare Functions to check this....

For Example you can define that MCP Displays ( Altitude, Course, Heading and so on) should only show values if Master Battery Switch is ON.
Here You need a Duplicate Config for every Display.... The Duplicate will work only if Master Switch is OFF.... And it will BLANK the Display.

PLEASE:
Think about exactly WHAT you want here..... Nearly everything is posible here....But you need to know exactly what you need.... Elseway you get problems if your Config then blank the Display perfect on Startup BUT maby blank it while Flight too in some situations !
Good Luck !
