Sorry, I can't do better than this, as the in-sim card bitmap goes from 0 to 30 and the AM instrument card bitmap goes from 0 to 20 only
Well ... it works as it is ... some can do better, it would require to redraw the AM card bitmap from 0 to 30
Hi Gilles,

Did you think about using Interpolate linear? Might make the issue easier to fix. Just a thought.

@aenigma to make sure that my reply doesn't get lost. What you supplied is an event to 'scroll' through the various states, not the state itself. What I will need is a variable that tells what's being displayed.

There's L:M803_State, but that one always returns 2, no matter what. I couldn't find anything else.

Sorry for the late reply. I had a feeling that might not be the right variable, I haven't been able to find anything either. It's too bad I couldn't just map the button press from my panel in AM without needing an Arduino specifically for it.

Yeah, what a bummer. Been nice to just be able to push the button to switch to local time instead of uniform so I don't have to do the math haha. Also would be nice if the annunciator panel didn't always have volts lit up even when it's not low volts with the wb-sim 172, or my gauges running like a slideshow over a specific area. But hey, that's just flight simming. Another late reply again, sorry. Turns out trying to build a cockpit while also getting screwed over on ebay takes up some time. It's been one of those days... err, weeks. Thanks for the help in any case!

Also later reply for me, I've missed Keith's suggestion here

as already mentioned there's a bitmap discrepancy between AM instrument card bitmap and the In-Sim one, which requires a fix in AM instrument and I don't want to dig into this without that much more time ...

"the in-sim card bitmap goes from 0 to 30 and the AM instrument card bitmap goes from 0 to 20 only"

Hello,

I buy the WBSIM Cessna witch provide L:Vars for the Clock.

L:172X_M803_TOP - DISPLAYS VOLTS, TEMP C OR F
H:OCLOCK_OAT AND L:INSTRUMENT_PUSH_CLOCK_OAT_1
H:OCLOCK_SELECT AND L:INSTRUMENT_PUSH_CLOCK_SELECT_1
H:OCLOCK_SELECT_LONG
H:OCLOCK_CONTROL AND L:INSTRUMENT_PUSH_CLOCK_CONTROL_1
H:OCLOCK_CONTROL_LONG

My dev skills are quiet limited to modify the actual script of the Clock in Air Manager to display those information.

Any help would be much appreciated :)

Thank you,
