Hi, I'm very new to MF and panel creation in general. I'm running MSFS2020 and planning out the creation of a multi-mode nav panel for the PMDG 737-800.

I think I've figured out most of the build, but I was wondering if MF supports alphanumeric segment displays, to display the three letter nav identifier, i.e. VOR/ILS/GLS, as in the image.

Failing that, if anyone has any ideas of how I could incorporate this into my panel that would look visually similar.

Search the server. Someone made a custom firmware version that supported those character displays. Maybe @winged gyro knows?

Yes, I have a custom device firmware which supports 14 Segment displays. Not sure if these displays have enough digits.
Another way would be to use an OLED and write a custom firmware.
