How to display then Mach-Speed?
Hi all,
I use a Saitek Multi Panel and use an snipped to show the Mach speed but it doesn't work. The device only shows a 1.
With the original Saitek driver the correct Mach speed is shown.
I took an online snippet that uses the PMDG-settings from IASMach. But when reaching the Mach area or when I manually switch to Mach on the MCP the device only shows 1.
What can be done that it works well?
Thx,
Stephan

Re: How to display then Mach-Speed?
There's too little information to help you.
What Aircraft, what simultation?
Which snippet? Maybe include the snippet/programming your are using?

Re: How to display the Mach-Speed?
Aircraft: PMDG 737NGX
Simulation: FSX
Snippet:
Display Value Display IASMach
clockwise turn ...
counterclockwise turn...
You can change the value if it is <10 (i.e. 0.67) and change the parameter to multiply it with 100 but then the display shows 67 without a leading decimal point.
Uli, I found this snipped a few weeks ago referenced to you but can not find it again when searching for IAS today

Re: How to display then Mach-Speed?
Special calculation is needed to display the machvalue.
First of all, there is no variable in the PMDG that tells if speed should be displayed in mach or knots. So you will need to decide yourself.
Second to get the speed in mach you will need to create an expression to convert it to mach. (next update will have a normalizer for this btw )
I'll publish a snippet for that as soon as the update is ready to release.
(Beta will have this stuff tomorrow as i am working on that for GF MCP Pro anyway )

Re: How to display then Mach-Speed?
Ok skip that all ... That's what you get for not knowing your aircraft.
PMDG:IASMach will contain IAS if > 10.0 and MACH if < 10.0
I published a snippet for the Radiopanel Transponder for that.
If you want to display Mach on your own you can use the custom normalizer "Knots To Mach" (Available in SPAD.neXt >= 0.9.5.70 )

Re: How to display then Mach-Speed?
erm you say with siatek driver "0.74" is shown in IAS Display on MultiPanel ?! Afaik this is impossible as afaik the Multipanel does not support "." to displayStephanHo wrote: I use a Saitek Multi Panel and use an snipped to show the Mach speed but it doesn't work. The device only shows a 1.

You're right!
Not .78 has been shown but IAS 780. The .78 are shown on the MCP - my fault

Any improvements for Multi Panel ? It still showing as "1"

Re: How to display then Mach-Speed?
I published a snippet for that (PMDG 737: IAS Display) and updated the default 737 profile accordingly.
