GF166 transponder

Hi I cannot get my second gf166 to show the transponder digits in the right display. However the rotarys works.
It is configured as a nav radio. Anyone who knows what light action or whatever I need to do?

    Forgot to write that I'm using FS2020 with fbwA32x. It worked as it should earlier but for some reason it has stopped and now I have fiddeling so much with it so I've lost track of what I've done.

    Does the display actually work when you press the Identify button on the GF166 tab with the correct device selected?

    Best wishes

    Yes it does. I've found sort of a workaround. I have assigned the rotarys in fsuipc and put GFDev64.dll in the Fsuipc7 root and assigned the right display via GIT to show transponder code. It works but I can only use it for the transponder. The nav frq is not an option this way. I'll dig deeper into it.

    Have you read up on the GF166 specifics here: https://www.pollypotsoftware.org.uk/support/user-guide/user-guide-git/19-operating/22-configuring-goflight-devices-additional-information.html

    I've read it but to be honest it doesn't make much sense to me. Maybe bcs it's not my native language or it's just that many of the words is to technical. I'm more of a trial and error guy. I'll give it another go.

    It's fairly straight forward. The GF166 can be configured with 4 different configs. Each config uniquely defines the displays and what the buttons and rotaries do, thus allowing up to 4 different functions.

    To switch between the 4 configs, assign a relevant event from the previous website link above to a GF166 button.

    If you click the COM button on the GF166 tab for an aircraft you don't use, you can explore the GF166 COM entries as an example of how to do it.

    Best wishes
