Hi all, I have always wanted to setup a second monitor for instruments but never found a graceful solution and all I really need is altitude and IAS, then I just realized my saitek multi panel can show me my live altitude info which is pretty cool, is there anyway on that lcd screen to have IAS displayed aswell? When I change the selector knob to IAS I just get 000, and I really want to have IAS and ALT on the same screen.
Is this achievable? I only fly GA aircraft so the only thing I use multi panel for is the flaps button.
tnx

choosing display output on the multi panel
Re: choosing display output on the multi panel
So I added an event and now I have both display values: indicated altitude and airspeed indicated. But what happens is the value on the lcd top line just flashes between the two values rather than show the second one on a new line (vs 000 is still displayed on second line) anyway to get this working?

Re: choosing display output on the multi panel
To have the IAS shown in the VS Line, you need to program it in the VS-Display (Put selecter knob to IAS, and code a Display-Event or replace the existing one).
If you program two dislplay events for the same knob-Position they will just iterate through (whatever data comes first from sim)

Re: choosing display output on the multi panel
That was surprisingly easy thank you!! works well now.
You know my next question, and I'm sure its a hardware limitation but I will ask anyway, is there a way to change the letters "VS" to "IAS" on my second line?

Re: choosing display output on the multi panel
Pretty sure these are hard coded into the panel itself

Not even hardcoded , they are hardwired in the MP , cannot be changed without soldering
