Describe the bug Reported by a user in the forum

Hi! I'm newbie to Mobiflight, please explane what i'm doing wrong, or maybe i've found a bug? )

My test setup Inputs: analog input (range 321-791) action type variable (MyVar), value @ Outputs: Mobiflight Variable( Type=Number, Name=MyVar) Modifiers:

1. Interpolation input 321 maps to 0 input 791 maps to 100
2. Tranformation expression: $/100 (Also tried $*0.01) Display: Type=Input Action OnChange Action type: X-Plane Dataref = sim/cockpit2/engine/actuators/throttle_ratio_all Value=@

Test setting works well - input value 450 gives result 0.28 also "output Value" column shows correct value but x-plane throttle stay idle until value reached 1.00, then throttle goes to max.

To debug packets sent to x-plane i run WireShark, and: in UDP packet DREF contains Value: 0 if transform is disabled - value sent to X-plane is correct (same as Output shows) p.s. tested also with latest beta release (10.0.2.2)

Steps To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to '...'
2. Click on '....'
3. Scroll down to '....'
4. See error

Expected behavior Analog input to Xplane can send float values

Actual behavior Float range between 0 and 1 is sent as 0.

Details

• MobiFlight Version: 10.0.2.2
• FlightSim: [e.g. MSFS2020]
• AddOn: [e.g. Default Aircraft]

Additional context None

If add /100 to a dataref value in Display section of output settings, value sent to x-plane correctly

I have now found the same bug with MSFS2020 Fenix A320. So the bug is not sim specific. If I send into the RPN input action an integer and divide by 100 in the RPN statement, then it works. Sending a calibrated float value does not work.

@JaimeLeon2 can you try:

$f/100

and remember: the current value comes from @ for input actions, also if they are used in output configs.

I tried $f/100. That results in ncalc error.

[JaimeLeon2]

The $/100 results in a float correctly.
The issue is in transferring this value into the @ placeholder in the display tab. Mobiflight only writes an integer value there.

Workaround is to skip the transform and put the division in the RPN statement like
