B757 - HDG /7 Segment.

Question

 Hi Vlad, having a bit of problem with the 7-Segment display for the HDG, I am able to get all the other displays to function fine, its just the HDG that is not getting displayed. In the new configurator I can see only one option for the HDG and I selected that - 

AP_HDG_Cmd  -  and in my data conversion file the parameter is - 757Avionics/ap/hdg_act 

I have troubleshot the wiring and cross checked the hardware they seem to be fine as the other displays are operational

(TM1637) - 4 digit ( Speed and HDG), (TM1637) - 6 digit ( Vs and Altitude)

Simvim - 0.9.67B

with regards, Aj

Answer 1

Don't convert this parameter, and any other parameters for displays. All outputs always use standard XP datarefs, it can't be otherwise.

Also, usually (but no always) you don't need to convert the rotary knob for HDG set, every custom plane always uses X-Plane datarefs for this functions, the X-Plane program should use them to fly correctly.
