Salaam allaykam,
You need to obtain the offset, length and type from iFly documentation.
You create an FSVariable using the FsVariable Manager (button is on FS2Phidget main screen).
You assign the FsVariable to a TectLCD Line. The Help explains how to do this.

Alan

How did you install software?
If you installed from this web site help should work.

Do you have fs2phidget.chm in your fs2phidget folder?

[airyadh]

Hi Alan, i don't have fs2phidget.chm

[CocnutAir]

You most probably need latest version from this web site.
I cannot locate Download section, so cannot help you locate it.
Every time I turn around the web site has changed or there is access issue.

There is a file containing iFly offsets floating around the iFly community.
