Can someone please check with .27 if the issue is still there?

Hi, Would love to help but my flight sim PC died yesterday. I think the PSU has blown.

Will try to get fixed ASAP, but can't help until then, apologies.

Sure I’ll test it tonight, will this change reduce the amount of radio height data sent to FIPs too?

I am using offset values with fractions to adjust the radio height antenna to ground differential with the wheels to ground I don’t think going to integers will be a problem if anything may reduce some bandwidth use

Yes it does. It will limit the updates to full meters/feet changes.

Ok thanks I’ll have to change the bml offset controls on my GPWS gauge as it’s uses fractions to fine tune the radio height to ground, wheels to ground diff. It will be less accurate but within a foot so don’t think it will be noticed.

I recon there might still be some Lag on the radio panel as I was still getting minor lag when changing format to “0” hopefully keeping it to integers in the core code will stop it buffering on the radio

I'm still getting RADIO HEIGHT fractions in beta.27 and it still lags behind on the Radio Panel, but not as bad as it was.

If I set format to "0" then it doesn't lag, but it isn't clean integers only getting through to the panel

Hi,

Just to update you all.

My PC died and having spent a lot of time and money trying to fix it I've discovered it was a powered usb hub from Amazon which was causing the issues.

Anyway, looks like my flight sim is working again.

I've tried the new configuration and I'm delighted to say it now works far better.

Thank you to both of you for your time and patience in sorting this out for me.

Many thanks.

A happy simmer.

:)
