I finally got to set up my cockpit with the StatusDisplay app, it looks pretty cool with real data going to it behind the MFDs. I ran into a weird thing though, probably a small bug.
When I open the app, starting from scratch, and clicked on the MFD0 set button I got a totally green window. I couldn't get anything to show on the screen until I lucked on setting the X Border setting to something other than 0%, then I ended up with vertical lines on my green window. Setting the Y Border to 1% then created the rest of the on-screen graphics and everything was normal after that. I could then set the X and Y borders to 0% again with no issues.
I tried starting from default on my work laptop and it seems 0.0.3.7 shows the same issue.
Sadly, I need to rework the MFD attachment design, the industrial tape I bought was misrepresented by the seller as being suitable for attaching glass to smartphones and tablets. If it was it should have been strong enough to attach the MFDs to the LCD screen. Checking 3M's site I found it was more suitable for attaching nameplates or bonding foam.
I took a long look at 3M's recommendations and they make a double-sided tape for attaching control panels to an LCD screen. That would be 3M VHB 4941 tape.
