I'm trying to configure the 7 segment displays of the landing altitude and flight level altitude in an overhead pdmg 737. I use fs2020. could you tell me which preset to use? I haven't found anything about it.. or can you tell me how I can do it? you would be of great help! thank you very much bye have a good day.
#Land Alt and Flt Alt for PMDG 737

Ok
empty oriole
You need to use FSUIPC7 to get that data
See item 4 and 5 in this list
the data is in String format
unborn anvil
Not wok
I have fsuipc7. the connections are ok. and the sim value displays 0. it should display 300 because 300 is set on the sim
empty oriole
did you enable data broadcast in 737_options.ini as explained in the same document?
unborn anvil
Yes
empty oriole
and of course did you reboot after doing all of these changes?
unborn anvil
I reboot msfs and mobiflight. Not pc
empty oriole
and fsuipc7
unborn anvil
Maybe reboot PC does work?
empty oriole
rebooting your PC ensures that everything is reset
unborn anvil
Ok i try now
Not work 😫
I added the SDK line at the end as in the photo.
I also tried with flight altitude and that doesn't work either.
shouldn't what you're reading from the simulator come out? it remains like this, with these empty fields.

The Flight Sim value column should show what Mobiflight receives from Fsuipc7.
unborn anvil
correct, but it doesn't receive anything from fsuipc. and the displays are off. obviously mobiflight is started and fsuipc starts correctly
empty oriole
Is Mobiflight in Run mode?
You don't need to take pictures with your cell phone. Don't you have Discord app on your Pc?
unborn anvil
if I try for example to display the airplane's altitude right now, using a preset, it displays correctly (in this case LIMC - 758 feet).
empty oriole
It's better to just clip the screens and paste to Discord directly.
unborn anvil
I'm trying with these offsets indicated by you but it doesn't read anything.
empty oriole
you should try to pinpoint where is the breakdown in communication.
if you can display generic Fsuipc presets, but not PMDG offsets, then most likely Fsuipc must be having an issue communicating with the PMDG SDK.
unborn anvil
ok, I'll try to check the .ini file later because in the various forums I read that an extra space on the command lines is enough to make the system not work. I update you.
unborn anvil
I checked the ini file and unfortunately I had written a letter wrong. so I fixed it, restarted it but unfortunately it didn't work. then I reopened the ini file and noticed that the EnableData writing had disappeared (for some reason!?). so I rewrote, restarted msfs, changed airport, put the original livery and it worked! then check that the ini file is all in order, otherwise it will never work.
Thank you for your support! 🙃🤩
