OK that worked for NAV. I had to change your line to this: string.format("1%02X.%02X", STBYNAV2R/256, STBYNAV2R%256) This does show the lagging 0s.

Thanks Pete, OK i see what you are doing. That also will help with the BARO as well. I am testing with the Fight1 Super B200 and it shows the .001th location in the PFD COMS display. thanks so much for your help I will give it a try.

Very Nice

Hi Pete, My first post here and your site is a great help. I have a question. I am creating a LUA Menu Display system that displays the softkeys and controls for all functions in the G1000 PFD. The user uses 1- 2 position switch to move through the menu selections up and down and 1 button to activate the item highlighted. I am working on the last part of this scrip and I have created the NAV1 and NAV2 Radio menus. The menus look like what is below so you can see what i am trying to do: As you can see I am reading offset 311E and converting them for display with: STBYNAV2R = ipc.readSW(0x311E) followed by STBYNAV2 = (string.format("%04X", STBYNAV2R) + 10000) * .01. The issue I am having is in creating the COM1 and COM2 menus and displaying the STBY frq as where 311C and 311A are only 4 BCD digits not 5 (ie 122.225) so the equations above don't give me the 6th digit. Is there a way of getting that .001 position from reading an offset or do I have to follow the users selections to determine that .001 locations value? Also, if you have the time, is there a way to fix the width of the functions above so as not to drop the lagging 0s? Thanks in advance LUA Display G1000 PFD: NAV1 1 STBY FRQ INC <--- 2 STBY FRQ DEC 3 STBY FRAC INC 4 STBY FRAC DEC STBY FREQ = 114.2 (lagging 0s wont display) (Updated with each users press) 5 ACTIVATE STBY 6 BACK 7 CLOSE WINDOW This system works really good over users having to use click-spots in 2D or 3D cockpit

Hi Pete, I am having the exact same problem, I am creating a Linda Lua script that is a menu display for the G1000 PFD. The idea is not to use the mouse to select options in the G1000. I am creating a new window. If i use ipc.setdisplay() 25 times in P2D v2.5 it hangs. I found a work around where i create the display once and put the Title Display line at line 0 using the ipc.display("Display line \n1 \n2,,,). How can i tell if another application created a display so i can then rectreat it again? thanks for your help Creating the display and then calling the text to fill it from other functions. its not complete but here is what i am talking about. function G1000_PFD_Main_Display() -- G1000 PFD: Menu Window Open and Menu Item Toggle: Use On-Press ipc.display("") ipc.sleep(500) if G1_Window == 0 and Main_Panel == 1 then -- Call G1000 Main Window ipc.setowndisplay("G1000 PFD Main Key Select", 45, 25, 10, 10) G1000SK = 0 G1_Window = 1 G1000_Main_Keys_Menu() G1_Window = 1 elseif G1_Window == 1 and Main_Panel == 1 then -- Call G1000 Main Panel Key Selection Window G1000_Main_Keys_Menu() --elseif G1_Window == 0 and PFDL1_PANEL == 1 then -- Call PFD Key Main Window --ipc.setowndisplay("G1000 PFD PFD SoftKey Select", 45, 25, 10, 10) --PFDSK_L1 = 0 --PFDL1_SoftKey_Menu () elseif G1_Window == 1 and PFDL1_PANEL == 1 then PFDL1_SoftKey_Menu () elseif G1_Window == 1 and FDFRMT_PANEL == 1 then FD_FRMT_Menu () elseif G1_Window == 1 and Wnd_Panel == 1 then PFD_Wind_Menu () elseif G1_Window == 1 and PFDALT_Panel == 1 then PFDALT_UNIT_Menu() --elseif G1_Window == 0 and INSET_Panel == 1 then -- Call PFD Key Main Window --ipc.setowndisplay("G1000 PFD: INSET SoftKey Select", 45, 25, 10, 10) --INSETv = 0 --INSET_SoftKey_Menu () elseif G1_Window == 1 and INSET_Panel == 1 then INSET_SoftKey_Menu () end I would need to detect a change to set G1_Window back to a 0. thanks
