"$-0.05:0" never reaches the value 0, "$0.05:1" never reaches the value 1

Environment: X-Plane, ZIBO B738 (but should be independent from the aircraft), PilotsDeck 0.8.0

I have configured a dial like follows:

• Dial Left
  • Type: X-Plane: DataRef
  • Command Address: laminar/B738/electric/panel_brightness[0] (values from 0 to 1.0)
  • Write Value: $-0.05:0
• Dial Right
  • Type: X-Plane: DataRef
  • Command Address: laminar/B738/electric/panel_brightness[0]
  • Write Value: $0.05:1

When the DataRef has the value 1 and I start to turn the dial to the left, I get the following values:

• 0.949999976158142
• 0.899999988079071
• 0.849999976158142
• ...
• 0.0499998450279236

Then the value stays at 0.04 and does not decrease any more. Impossible to get the value 0. The same happens in the other direction: With the dial, I cannot get values higher than 0.950000166893005.

I assume that the plugin wants to decrease this last value by 0.05, but it doesn't because 0.049 is already too low. As far as I understood, the expression $-0.05:0 should decrease the value down to 0. If I am not wrong, maybe you could implement something, that if the last decrement or increment is too small/high, that you jump to the final value. So from 0.049 to 0 and from 0.095000001.... to 1.

Good catch!

Try the Dev Build, should be fixed: https://github.com/Fragtality/PilotsDeck/blob/master/Install-PilotsDeck-latest.exe

That fix was really fast. I will test both issues on Friday.

Tested. Works fine now 👍
