GfDisplay 1.30

How are you driving the display? As far as I understand, you should be able to display any text up to the length the display can handle - usually 5 characters or digits.

Take a look at the lua gfd library for handling GF displays in FSUIPC/lua.

As I don't have any GF display devices, it is difficult for me to advise any further.

Tnx for the answer.

I have GFDev64.dll in the Fsuipc folder. That takes care of the buttons and knobs. Then I just start the GFDisplay.exe wich is in a different folder. Other than that I ony plugged in my device to an usb port and Windows 10 recognized it and said that it was configured for use. I will check the lua and see if I can find something that I can grasp. Once again Tnx.

Ok, but if that is controlling the display, then you need to see if that can be configured to show 3dps.

Ok, but it can be quire complex, especially for non-programmers, to control the GF display via lua. There is an example script provided (in the lua examples zip in your FSUIPC documents folder), and there are probably other posts on using this library if you search the FSUIPC forums. u suspect that you don't need to the GFDisplay.exe.

And you could also try asking in the Go Flight support forums, presuming they supply the GFDisplay.exe.

Cheers,

John

Hi Anders,

All you have to do is: place the file GF_166.lua in the FSUIPC folder an add in the FSUIPC.ini file the following:

[Auto]
1=Lua GF_166

This will automatically start the lua file. But the Pollypot software also works. It is of course your own choice!
