GF-166 - frequency 8.33 kHz - comma

Bulva

Hello.
I'm using GIT with X-Plane 11.41.
I was able to configure the GF-166 as a COM1 and 2 radio.
I handle the 8.33kHz frequency change correctly.
But I can not cope with the display of the comma in any way - I need it to be in the 3rd position (from the left), as shown in the photo:


I am asking for help, because I have already exhausted my own ideas ....

Bulva

This parameter cannot be set in the "Light Action" options. Only two decimal digits can be displayed. Or I don't know something.
Since it is possible to set the frequency with a 8.33 kHz step, maybe you need to update the GIT to adapt the program to current standards ???

admin_pps

Use a Light Action DIVIDE_AS_DECIMAL with a custom value of 1000.

Thanks for the feedback.
I thought so too and of course I tried it too.
But it doesn't work for me.
Here's what I get then (sorry for the quality of the photo):




Changing the value from 100 to 1000 does not change the position of the decimal point, but only the number of displayed digits.

admin_pps

I'll add it to the bug list for fixing.

Thanks.
I forgot to mention that this is the version for X-Plane. ;-)

Bulva

Is something already known about the repair of the "comma" ???

admin_pps

It will be a few weeks yet, as I'm bogged down in alpha testing a new product I've written.

Apparently there will be new GIT patches in the near future.
Will they also include XP and comma problem ???

admin_pps

Yes, I have added additional light actions for add, subtract, divide and multiply that round to 3 decimal places.

Thank you very much. I am waiting politely. ;-)

admin_pps

It's available now. Download in the normal way.

Great message. Thank you again.

Bulva

Only now I have the opportunity to check the new version of the program.
Unfortunately, I still can't set the frequency display with 3 decimal places despite choosing the option:
DIVIDE_OF_DECIMAL_3_DECIMAL_PLACES.
When he writes in the field next to 10 - the comma on tehe screen moves one place (XXXXX.X); when I enter 100, the comma moves two places (XXXX.XX).
But when I enter 1000 - comma still remains unchanged; numbers in the format XXXX.XX or XXX.XX appear on the display.

I uninstalled the old version and reinstalled the new one.
What am I doing wrong ???

In no setting can I force GF166 to have a comma before 3 digits ...

I'm sorry that so many times (I didn't know)

admin_pps

I'll look into it.

Thank you very much. I will only add that I have two GF166 modules, so it can't be the fault of the damaged unit.

Bulva

Did you have a moment to take a look at the comma problem ???

admin_pps

I'll PM you a link to a new version to try.

Bulva

Thank you very much for taking care of this problem and patches to the program.
The left display window works 100% correctly, but there are still problems with the right display. Still with "DIVIDE_AS_DECIMAL_3_DECIMAL_PLACES" and Light Value: "1000"
the format for presenting the number is incorrect:

admin_pps

Leave it with me.

admin_pps

I will PM you a new link.

Bulva

I do not know how to thank you :-)
After the last amendment, everything is OK.
I really appreciate your work and thank you very, very, very much.

admin_pps

Great!

Hi,

I've managed to display the radios correctly as stated above. However, the rotary button does not allow me to select all available 8.33 kHz radio frequencies.

E.g. 120.780: the rotary button allows me to go from 120.770 to 120.800, but not to 120.780.

I couldn't find any information about this in the FAQ or the forums.

Thanks for your help!

That must be a bug in FS2020, might be worth raising it with MS/Asobo.
