Raisuli Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 After a few minutes AUTO 5 (sometimes AUTO 9) shows up on the AMPCD. The number is persistent no matter what is on that screen though the AUTO vanishes if I hide the map, and it rasters over the top of any other content. It's annoying, but I can't find anything about what, or why, it is. My search fu is probably weak...
Zyll Posted August 18, 2020 Posted August 18, 2020 That appears when you turn the (previous) brightness dial located over the AMPCD. Do you possibly have something bound to that dial in your controls?

Do you possibly have something bound to that dial in your controls? Of COURSE I have it bound...and the number it displays depends on the brightness setting. No way to make that go away? How do I manage AMPCD brightness? Silly airplane. I'm going to write my congress critter.

The only reason I can think for it displaying constantly is If you have the brightness knob bound to an axis and the axis itself moves a tiny bit all the time, constantly (or frequently enough) changing the knob position, which then triggers the message. I'd check if it's hardware related (axis signal noise, faulty hardware, axis calibration etc). The vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs. Join the vCVW-17 Discord.

Zyll Posted August 19, 2020 Posted August 19, 2020 Brightness is controlled with the rocker switch in the bottom right corner of the display
