MCP_VertSpeedBlank - probably not working

[activex]

Hi there,

I noticed that the offset (MCP_VertSpeedBlank=0x65D2) is not working exactly as I expected. This offset returns true only if  V/S mode is off and therefore V/S display is blanked out. But if you enable V/S mode (via V/S button) and the display is still blank (ie because the value entered is zero) the offset returns zero indicating that the V/S is not blanked out but in reality it is.

Why is this implemented like this?

I have no idea - I just add this data as provided by the PMDG 737 SDK. This is therefore a question for PMDG - try their support.

Ah okay, I thought there was some logic you added to behave this way. Thanks for clarifying.

No - the PMGD offsets are just populated by the (client) data received from the aircraft - nothing is changed.
