AUTOPILOT_MACH_HOLD_VAR issue

edited November -1 in GoFlight Interface Tool - Technical Support
Hello!
I tryed  to make 'C/O' button on GF MCPpro work with default FSX Autopilot as expected. 
bespoke event for it:
<Task ID="2" Type="SetInc" Var="Bespoke Var 0" Data="1" />
<Task ID="3" Type="If" Var="Bespoke Var 0" Operator="GREATER_THAN" Value="1" />
<Task ID="4" Type="Set" Var="Bespoke Var 0" Data="0" />
<Task ID="6" Type="If" Var="Bespoke Var 10" Operator="EQUALS" Value="1" />
<Task ID="10" Type="Goto" LabelID="7" />
<Task ID="12" Type="SetEquiv" Var="Bespoke Var 10" Data="AUTOPILOT_AIRSPEED_HOLD_VAR" />
<Task ID="14" Type="Goto" LabelID="8" />
<Task ID="7" Type="Label" Name="a" />
<Task ID="16" Type="SetEquiv" Var="Bespoke Var 10" Data="AUTOPILOT_MACH_HOLD_VAR" />
<Task ID="8" Type="Label" Name="b" />
Display source for IAS/MACH display setted  to "Bespoke Var 10" 
There are two issues found:
1) AUTOPILOT_MACH_HOLD_VAR is always truncated, I tryed use it as source for display also, display shows 0.00 while mach number less than '1'  and 1.00  when greater
2) I hadn't find  a way to set display format from bespoke event, so it seems impossible to have for example '266' for IAS and '0.55' for mach without every time correcting field format settings by hand. And absolutely impossible to have '0.551' for mach.

    Hi,

    I have just checked the code and it is being loaded as an integer instead of floating point. I'll add it to the bug list.

    It will happen automatically when I fix the data type bug.

    Version 2.1.3.0 should have fixed this.

    Hi, Steve!

    Mach speed displays correctly but issue with format haven't revealed
    Bespoke var always has decimal format , so i have '219.00' for ias and  '0.33' for mach

    with best regards

    seems AUTOPILOT_RPM_HOLD_VAR  has the same issue - it should be floating point, or at least you shoud ask 'Percent' units from simconnect's data definition

    Hi Alex,

    I'll change it to floating point, although simconnect stats its a standard number.

    Best wishes

    Hi Alex,

    Bespoke variables are always floating point. So you will have to live with that. If you assign the specific simconnect variables to displays they will be type specific.

    Best wishes
