XP12, MFv10 When I first started using MF for my 5 digit 7-segment displays I had quite a problem getting them configured to display. Members here helped me and we got them going my making some script or something to do this. Well now with v10 my scripts are gone and with the aid of Neil at least got the nav freq working. Moving on to the DME which have received the same changes, my distances are off buy a factor of ten and where I used to have dashes when VOR was too far away I get a 0--.- Why did v10 mess with the scripts and what happened to the handling of the MAX7219?
#New post Same Problem V10 has changed how the segmented displays work and modified my config files.

Although nobody in the development team is intending to cause trouble to any users, sometimes bugs can get past testing. A lot of care is taken to make every new feature backwards compatible with existing configurations.
The beta test program for version 10.0 lasted six months, longer than any other version I can remember and it contains very many new features that have been eagerly awaited for years.
Although you are not the only one having issues with 7-segment displays, not everyone is (I have zero issues with version 10.0 so far). The displays that have reversed digits seem to be the only ones experiencing issues.
Please try setting your Max7219 displays to 8 digits and see how the numbers are displayed. From this information, I think you should be able to reconfigure your displays back to normal.
BTW, I recommend you always specify 8 digits, regardless of how many are physically connected. This ensures Mobiflight will try to read all the digit pins on the Max7219.
I don't really know what you mean by "with v10 my scripts are gone"

Got it solved. The modifier script as I call it was not present in my config. I got it all working again after a few hours.

the modifiers chain is a new feature, but it is backwards compatible with Transform and Compare as they existed before.
So no formula should be lost because of the upgrade.
It just moved from the Transform dedicated field, to the Transform modifier in the Modify tab.

do you still have your old config? I would like to see why it was not ported to the new v10.0 format correctly

They did get converted, that was the problem the transformation statement was missing for the DME and the configuration for all the 5 digit displays were gone. Changing the config from 5 to 8 and unchecking the last 3 solved the display problem. I found an old config file tucked away in a safe place that I opened and found the transform statement.
