Gabriel Adei Posted January 11, 2008 at 03:01 AM Posted January 11, 2008 at 03:01 AM Ok so I have been tinkering about in my aircraft.cfg file for a few freebie panels I am trying to make fly like a charm. I have done good so far and by the way I am a novice but has been able to tame thrust affect rudder and many more. However I have this panel that the throttle input is really disproportionate to the N1 percent response. What I mean by that is, say I move my throttle from bottom to the middle mark, instead seeing 50% on N1 I will actually see about 70% N1. If I move my throttle to about three quaters way I expect to see 75% NI however at that point my N1 is over 100%. What controls this throttle and reaction output relationships. I have tried everything I know so far but I have not been able to affect it. Now I am thinking that might be a direct property of the gauge itself and it thats true then I dont know what I am going to do. If its something in the aircraft.cfg then I can change. I have other panels that just work fine. Half displacement on the throttle gives 50% N1. Help if you know how. Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Perry Posted January 11, 2008 at 12:54 PM Posted January 11, 2008 at 12:54 PM I can't help you out modifying any FS files, but in reality it's very possible to push engines beyond "100%." During my very short (and unpaid) stint as a turboprop copilot, my one and only task on take off was to ensure the engines didn't over torque. Likewise on some Boeing jets, it's actually acceptable to go above 100%. Also, N1 I don't imagine would be at 0% at idle throttle, wouldn't that mean the engine stopped? Unless we got one of those new hybrid airplanes that uses regenerative braking and turns off the engine while you're at a stop light? So anyway, unless you have a FADEC or Airbus style "on or off" throttle, I don't think it's unrealistic to show >100% N1 with your throttles full open.

Gabriel Adei Posted January 11, 2008 at 03:24 PM Author Posted January 11, 2008 at 03:24 PM Thx for your reply. Well I understand the N1 being at some percent at idle and also pushing all the way to about 110% N1. The numbers I gave in my first post was to try and explain what I wanted to do but not the exact happenings. The displacement to the output N1 on this panel is completely way off. I am past 100% N1 even before the input crosses three quaters displacement. It only goes to about 105% N1 max and after that the displacement has no effect on N1. This tells me that the input and output is not in sync. I have other panels working very well where a complete displacement of the throttle will produce about 108% N1, and the input to output is more proportional.

David Klain 874106 Posted January 11, 2008 at 06:35 PM Posted January 11, 2008 at 06:35 PM Sounds like you need to go to a forum where aircraft model developers help each other and ask that question. This is not a flight software development forum... Good luck with your efforts. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
