OpenCockpit MCP v3 displays stuck in zeros

Post by ECXGF » 17 Feb 2020, 19:22

Dear fellow simmers. I have been using my OpenCockpit MCP v3 with the great snippet Connex created back in 2017 for the PMDG737NGX (Opencockpits MCP V3 , GoFlight MCP Pro with Heading buttons: Short press = Change Bank limit and Long press = Change Brightness). Not a glinch in over a year. Everything working great. He made me a happy guy!!! But I decided to renew my rig and bought a new PC for Xmas. I saved and published my profile so that I could install and go on the move. Well, everything in my profile (I have OC MCP and EFIS panel, two Leo Bodnard cards for the OH panel, saitek Pro Yoke, Racios, multipanel and switch panel, etc.) worked as expected and saved EXCEPT...
the numeral displays for course, IAS, Heading, etc neither any of the indication lights work. BUT when I turn my knobs, flick my switches or push my buttons of my OC MCP, everything behaves as expected in the PMDG. The displays and indicator lights in the PMDG Virtual Cockpit move accordingly but my OC displays are all blocked in 0 indications in all the windows. I reloaded the snippet and tried one by jjvelar just in case but no way.
What can I be doing wrong? I really appreciate your help in advance. Thanks

PS. And something strange is happening that never happened before. When I open SPADNEXT my MCP always comes with the Virtual Power OFF. It is not big deal, simply a bit annoying to find it OFF if I is ON when I close Spad.Next. This only happens with this device and this profile. I really do not know what I could have done so wrong.

You do not have the SDK set to broadcast the data....

See this video I did for the 777 -- same applies to all PMDG for getting the data.

Hi Les. Yep. how stupid I am. I read about it in the wiki (it is clearly indicated there) and did it properly when I first installed a couple of years ago. When I reinstalled in the new PC after Xmas, simply forgot about it. lol I am definitely getting old.
Thanks again.

Thanks for the compliment.
