Sorry - I've been very busy the past week and haven't had the change to look at
this
again.
I was looking at the <mask> tag for the property-adjust, which I noticed wasn't
previously used
in the kx165. However, when I tried it I found two problems. From memory (I'm
not at my FG
computer right now) they were the following:
1) The <mask>decimal</mask> affected high-order integer values as well
2) A roundoff problem with the texttranslate animation caused a display problem.
I like the Nasal solution, and I think we should offer it for Aircraft
developers to use if they wish,
possibly by including it in aircraft.nas or controls.nas, but I would also like
to fix the property-adjust
bugs so the Nasal version doesn't end up as a workaround.
