TextLcd questions
Perhaps both of my questions go for Alan...
1. When I deselect backlighting on a textlcd, I see nothing. Works fine when backlighting is on. Is it a bug in FS2Phidget?
2. When will it be possible (if ever) to place more than one value in a single row? I am finished with all overhead panels and gauges and the electric display is the only one waiting to be configured.
thanks in advance

HI,
>>>1. When I deselect backlighting on a textlcd, I see nothing. Works fine when backlighting is on. Is it a bug in FS2Phidget?
Well... you should see nothing. You are turning the light off for the LCD and it needs to be on to see/read it!

Patience, my friend.
Will be available in less than 1 month and more than 2 days.
You reported a problem with pmsystems bitmaps.
As I recall, I did ask you for details.
Is problem with Length ? Bit ? Offset ?
I want to fix that for next release (that will also contain your request).

P.S.: in that case I have just no idea why Alan included the 'backlight on' checkbox, what's the use if it doesn't work without it?

Although you didn't ask me for details but I'm happy to repeat it.
The ini problem is mostly concerned with Pmsystems bitmapped announciator lenghts.
A lot of them are defined as 2 bytes long, whereas all are 1 byte in size. That's all.

I had some problems same as Andras. Bit length in the FS2PhUIPC.ini file will say length being 2. But in the Variable Editor it will say 1, I tried to change the bit length in the Editor to 2 but it keeps reverting to 1.
For what ever reason I can't get some of my LED lights to light up. I don't know if this has anything to do with it.
Sorry for not being more specific..... First time I turned on my pit since the SimFest1...

Whenever you see
FSType=Bitmap
and
Length=2
just change the length to 1 and you are done. Be careful to do it only for the pmsystems annouciator values.
If some leds of yours are silent, possibly there's another problem, the length in itself doesn't cause it to be reluctant to work. It can cause problems if the adjacent byte is also used.

Capt. Matt Oscar,
When I was working with 737nut's sim I did notice that some of the pmSystems settings are without an FsType
My fault - not Project Magenta's
Regards,
Alan.
