Bit values greater than 7

[imported_redman]

Hi Alan,
Using a LED64 with FS2Phidget, I am also using a program FSCONV that determines values from the Level-D 767 to light my LED's.
It uses offsets from FSUIPC, but with bit values specific to the Level-D.

Some of the panels have bit values greater than 7 (up to bit 16) for a length 4 offset.
Currently FS2Phidgets says that up to 8 bits (0-7) can be used.
I have tried manually editing the variables.ini to read this, but these values arn't accepted.

Is there anything I can do to get FS2Phidget to respond to these bits?
I am still new at learning about all these bit and hex stuff, but will appreciate any advice anyone can give.

Best Regards
Chris

Chris,

This has been corrected in upcoming 3.0.10 version.

Thanks, Chris.

Likewise. I appreciate the feedback on bugs and recomendations.

Hi Alan,

I just got a reply from Nico over at avsim.

My knowledge of these offsets now steps a little higher. :)
If I add one to the offset then the bits reset.

For example, if offset 0550 is needed and bit # 10. If i use offset 0551 and bit 3, then I get the right value.

New knowledge is good knowledge.
Things are really starting to come together now.

Brilliant.

Thanks again alan.

That is a very clever workaround.

Newer version will make things a little easier, or should I say more intuitive.
Going forward you will be able to specify lengths - up to 8 - for a bit map.
Appreciate the fedback.
