Phi value only ever showing two values? (Pic inside)
Got an issue with a setup:
http://www.thunder-keep.co.uk/site/setup_issue.jpg
The issue is, using IAS as an example:
0-99 it displays correctly, as in goes 1-2-3...89-90-91 etc as it should.
However once passing 100 it only shows "12" of "123".
An altitude of "12345" only displays "12" for the Phi value.
Emulators display correctly.
Any ideas?

This is the exact same problem I have been having, see the message thread "LCD & FS2Phidgets".
As far as I can tell the LCD display is being limited to a only 2 characters although the FS variable appears to be read correctly. I suspect it is a glitch in code.
Alan indicated he would look into this problem over the weekend.

How important is it that the Phi Value column displays correctly?
I cannot remember when I last looked at that column.

Its the value thats being displayed on the cards itself too.
Only ever the first two digits, I assumed that the Phi value is the one it displays?
Can get a photo if you want, but its pretty self explanatory
Works fine on another system, which suggests its a software issue. I had to reinstall once to solve it not picking the cards up at all.
I can zip up all my files so you can have a dig?
Cheers

Concord,
You seem to be describing 2 issues:
(a) Raw values are being truncated when displayed in the Phi Column.
(b) Values are not cycling correctly thru max and min values when incrementing or decrementing.
Is this correct?
Merry Christmas,
Alan

Hi, well im Concorde Rules and Im involved with the Concorde Simulator at Brooklands museum
Problem (b) is not the one I am experiencing, (a) however is.
EG for Altitude:
FS Value shows 0, Phi Value shows 0 and the Phidget display shows 0.
FS Value shows 99, Phi Value shows 99 and the Phidget display shows 99.
FS Value shows 327, Phi Value shows 32 and the Phidget display shows 32.
FS value shows 7419, Phi Value shows 74 and the Phidget display shows 74.
FS value shows 54781, Phi Value shows 54 and the Phidget display shows 54.
I hope that clear up the issue I am having? I shall do a clean install again to see if I can recreate the problem and shall report back.
Merry Christmas
Cheers,
Concorde Rules.

Question:
Are you able to input offset values in the configuration dialog?
You describe the same problem I am having.

Nope, another thing i have issues with
Eg If I use the emulator, I can get Engine 1, 2 and 3s N1 values displayed from 0 to 110% as they should.
But with the real thing my offset is set at 2 and I cannot change it!!!
Does nothing
Edit: Ok, that (now deleted) problem fixed itself nicely
Edit 2: Just making a small results table for you..
Code:FS IAS - FS ALT - Displayed IAS - Displayed ALT 0 - 0 - 0 - 0 67 - 92 - 67 - 92 0 - 100 - 0 - 10 300 - 3995 - 30 - 39 170 - 498 - 17 - 49 168 - 499 - 16 - 49 325 - 6699 - 32 - 66 325 - 6700 - 32 - 67
