I don't have any Windows PC last 15 years. I am retired electronic engineer and have programed all kinds of Arduinos. On Linux hex file can be flashed very easily. Why Sim Innovation don't release knobster hex to download. I am sure you can install windows on suitable hardware (if you have any ?). ...

Hello Joe, no you didn't miss it. Since 3rd party dependencies are not accepted for the instruments library, I simply did not submit those instruments. My submitted about 30 instruments for the PMDG 737-700 aircraft, that do work with the normal PMDG Lvars (that by the way PMDG is also not official...

Nice done Joe, if it's a matter to get the whole part of float, without fract, I've also made it at some point, in another way and saved in my snippets All right we have to take in account the decimal point, in this way your solution is more elegant ------------------------------ -- STRING Extract ...

FS2020 is so stable... (not)

where is the issue ? - fs2020 (probably) - the aircraft ? (probably) Air Manager ? (Possibly but unlikely), the plugins and placing of (possibly but unlikely)

Try it with simple base aircraft that is provided with the game

Hi, I just use string.sub() and can extract any set of data within the string. It is a standard lua function. my_number = 123.987654321 my_number=string.sub(my_number,1,2) print(my_number) Hi, whilst that is ok and works you are using string conversions as opposed to pure numbers which may sometime...

Agreed Rob.
Probably the first step to an organised structure.

Hi,

Hi Gilles, Another method for finding just the integer (or the integer AND the fractional) is as follows. (can be used 2 ways as described) local number = 3.14 local integer,fractional = math.modf(number) -- integer will be 3, fractional will be 0.14 print (integer) print (fractional) -- result = 3 ...

Thanks Gilles,
Excellent. That is great stuff to add and enhance. Thank you, It is so interesting to see people's solutions to seemingly simple issues (at first glance)
Nice one,
Joe

It could be the MSFS team, even having stated they will come to it, is pushing back day by day, the time where they'll open the Sim / SDK / SimConnect to availability of transparent of variables/events visibility and interaction. Yes, still old school core, perhaps to maintain Polish Notation (PN) ...
