Please see screenshot attached.
The idea is to have, in only one screen, all the values that can have all GVARS. In benefits, that distinguishes GVARS form the flight phase menu.

Posted on Nov 12, 2012 by Quick HippoRandom notes: - I like the idea of a dedicated screen (Romolo) - I like presentation with all VG as horizontal lines (Franck)
But we have to keep in mind that: - VG names are 6 chars wide - VG values can be "-1024"
So my conclusion is ... - It will be ok on X9D (212px width) ;) - We need to scroll horizontally on other boards

Posted on Nov 12, 2012 by Massive CamelI like the idea of a dedicated screen too... I hardly dared to dream of it ;) But, one question : all software use +/-100% scale, so why +/-1024 for GVARS ?
A little additition, perhaps already planned : it would be perfect if the ongoing GVARS and FP are shown in bold.

Posted on Nov 12, 2012 by Massive CamelOK, this is since the issue #146... but I never understood what it was for, especially now with raw inputs of sticks (without D/R). I'm probably wrong, as I don't really know his need, but perhaps this feature could have solved the problem of Greg without expanded range of GVARS. I also think that a so important range could be dangerous for in flight adjusting.

Posted on Nov 12, 2012 by Massive CatFor example, if you want one side of the stick to result in the entire servo throw, it's useful to be able to set 200% weight. There was also one guy who was doing some "math" and needed to set a 400% mix. Mixers are limited to 125% for EEPROM reasons, but GVARS were an easy solution to get around that when needed. It's not a problem for in-flight adjusting, as you need to explicitly set it up yourself to go that far.

Posted on Nov 13, 2012 by Massive CamelIf you use a potentiometer to adjust a GVAR in-flight, the physical accuracy (what you can really do with your fingers...) is 4 time less with +/-500 range (or 8 times (!) with +/-1024) than with the normal +/-125 range. This will much complicate the setting of some usual couplings that have small rate values, like motor, flaps or airbrakes to elevator compensation, snap-flap, wing camber or differential (as, for all, their normal rate is around 10-20%).
For your example, I'm sorry but I not sure I understand, please could you explain more ?

Posted on Nov 13, 2012 by Massive CatNo, because the pot range isn't +/-500. A pot gives -100% to +100%. When you set a function switch with "Adjust GVx P1", then the value of P1 is simply copied into GV1. So this way, you still have the normal +/-100 range.
If you want to in-flight adjust a GV between +/-500 you'll need to set it up yourself using 2 GVs and a free channel. For example: - GV1 = 500 - CH16: GV1% P1 - A function switch with Adjust GV2 CH16.
Then you'll have GV2 in-flight adjustable between -500 and +500 with P1.
So - it allows for >125 values for those who need it, but doesn't change anything for the others.

Posted on Nov 13, 2012 by Massive CatEDIT: Not even actually. In-flight adjsutment doesn't work beyond +/-125%
The +/-500 range is useable just as a fixed value, like above to set a fixed weight > 125% for example.

Posted on Nov 13, 2012 by Massive CamelOK, I understand a little better now, thanks ! Just a last question : does it works the same with rotary encoders ?

Posted on Nov 13, 2012 by Quick Hippo"actually", tu veux dire "actuellement" ?

Posted on Nov 2, 2013 by Helpful BirdIs there a way to turn off the pop-up window when the gvar value is updated. I'm using it to store a throttle and rudder value for a Throttle Hold - pan/tilt mix and the pop-up is just annoying
