MFD 2 range setting by Lvar not working

[aua668]

Hi,

Here is something for the upcoming SP: You added the possibility to control all functions via Lvars, which is great for cockpit configurations with hardware, where you have no mouse. The following Lvars control the range visible on the MFDs:

L:EmbFms1OuterClick
L:EmbFms2OuterClick

With the parameter +1 or -1 we now can adjust the range. But obviously there is a small bug introduced by copy and paste in the code: L:EmbFms1OuterClick changes the range for both MFDs while L:EmbFms2OuterClick has no function. Maybe you look into your code. This should be easily to fix. And then we have the possibility to change the range on both MFDs independently.

Another great feature would be, if you would provide the value the currently selected range in an additional Lvar.

But: It's really great, that we have now this possibility and that you have provided that open interface for cockpit builders.

Hi Reinhard,

The FMC page must be not RADIO to control the MFD range.

Hi,

You are correct: If the respective FMS is on the RADIO page, the corresponding Lvar is not changing the range. BUT: each of the variables always changes the range on BOTH MFDs synchronously (if not on RADIO page). So FMS1 variable change left and right MFD and FMS2 variable also both. I would have assumed, that it is possible to change the range independently (FMS1 for left MFD and FMS2 for right MFD).
