Yes Gilles 😎
Hopefully Corjan will give me a surprise soon. He is having issues with the image and is working on it.

It would be nice
I've read elsewhere than on the forums here (though some already get the idea here) that many already thought of the Pi4 as the only computer attached behind a monitor and handling graphics and logic
for flight simulation but not only, this is a fast growing market and demand

Gilles,
Two RPI 4 is far cheaper than a graphics card🤣.
I am hoping to use them for the 10” 4x3 displays for the MIP.

Great Idea this is why we see the LCD screen in your screenshot ?

We have to wait and see with the Rpi. I hope i’m wrong but a Rpi 4 would need to be a big performance increase over the 3+ if it’s going to be useful for whole panels IMHO. I hope it’s the case.

Hi,

The Pi 4 isn't that much more powerfull then the Pi 3 unfortunately.
For AM panels, it is probably 25% faster on average.

Hello Keith @Keith Baxter

have you done something special to make it working ?
I never seen any data displayed in the rectangle, not now on Final 3.7 nor previously in any Beta

Here's what I get while the instrument is running :

Here's a sample running in AM 3.7 Final, with debug values not displayed

Hi,


Clearly a bug in AM. Will have a look at this next week.


Thanks for posting,

Corjan

Thanks @Corjan for the answer and the next fix
this would be a nice stabilization for AM 3.7 Final, together with the knobster issue and the hardware wiring missing persistence issue that could occurs lately
