Re: Cdu instrument text bocked out
I guess you're on 3.54.17 ?
Ensure the Z_2D_XP MCDU is at least 1.2.2, refer to click spots area screenshot : https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/f ... reen-only/

Re: Cdu instrument text bocked out
No, the issue is there's constant changes along the time, in the way the MCDU lines are displayed in the ZiboMod, so I have to refine and enhance the logic which handle backlit of highlighted text parts. Currently it's based on unwanted space chars count and I've made several adjustements during time following what's made in the ZiboMod. Indeed I have to rethink the whole thing.
@cyberguerro also reported some glitch on superimposed lines, which are not in the proper location. I will have a look on it too

Re: Cdu instrument text bocked out
Just checked at the moment in XP11, apart the White highlighting issue, I don't get the other glitch and overlapping we see on @cyberguerro provided screenshots (will see directly this part with him), using 3.54.17
As I've not made any instrument XP12 compliant, for the moment, I have to check again using XP12 and the MCDU and see what have to be adjusted together with the back lighting issue (indeed, later investigation with all other Z_2D_XP instruments set)

Re: Cdu instrument text bocked out
A bit of explanation, here in XP11 with ZiboMod 3.54.17
The highlighted text (backlit) is handled reading lines starting with "laminar/B738/fmc1/Line" for the CAPT MCDU display or "laminar/B738/fmc2/Line" for the FO MCDU display and ending with "_I", where "I" stands for "inverted"
I found discrepancies in values bring to us by the ZiboMod through these specific lines, where some are equal to " " (one blank char), other to multiple blank chars with several different chars length across all inverted lines values and other equal to "" (empty string)
This explain the issue reflected on AM Z_2D_XP MCDU instruments, we have to take in account these discrepancies and handle them properly
So now to the coding stage ...

Re: Cdu instrument text bocked out
It's on the way, at least for XP11 at first. Just WIP with fully reworked logic for the text highlighting :

Re: Cdu instrument text bocked out
So, now fixed the "MOD" backlit issue we got in the Z_2D_XP MCDU, already from the start due to not fixing it on my side, where the two first blank chars were getting backlit when writing like here : " MOD"
I've checked no other page get the backlit issue with this current MCDU 1.2.3 release
