Right display of GF 166 module not showing the ELEVATOR_TRIM_PCT of the PMDG 737

Hello,

is there any Chance to get the Elevator trim percentage of the PMDG 737 shown on the GF 166 Display ?

Thx !

    Hi Andi,

    Having just debugged the code, none of the trim pct's work with any aircraft. The datatype and return value were set incorrectly. I'll update the code and issue a new version over the weekend.

  • Thank you very much :)
  • New version is out now.

  • Thank you very much. I just installed the new Version. The ELEVATOR_TRIM_PCT is working now. Unfortunately the values of the gf 166 Display and the shown values inside the virtual Cockpit of the PMDG 737 NGX are not the same. The difference is huge :(
  • The values are correct as far as FSX see's them, but I guess since PMDG build a lot of custom stuff, its manipulated internally to be a different value. I would suggest you see if you can subtract or multiply a value via Light Action/Value to get them to sync up.

  • Here are the values..i hope you can help me what to set as light Action and light value

    GF166 Display / PMDG 737

    0,01/-30,55

    0,51/-26,55

    1,02/-22,55

    ..../....

    4,51/4,55

    .../...

    5,99/15,94

    6,51/19,94


    As you can see...while the GF166 values go up with +0,5 the PMDG values increase by +4.
    Any idea how to fix this Problem ?


    Thx !

  • That idea is not going to work as there is no linear ratio to multiply the value against or a consistent value to add or subtract. e.g.

    19.94 / 6.51 = 3.06.....

    15.94 / 5.99 = 2.66......

    19.94 - 6.51 = 13.43

    15.94 - 5.99 = 9.95

    There is no single value that can be added/subtracted or multiplied to get to the correct value.

    The only thing I can do is build in specific support into the code to do the conversion and provide CLUSTER data to output the result.

    Best wishes

  • Hey Steve,
