View Full Version : EPR Gauges not working in SGA Super83/MD-8x models

Hi,

I tried several different EPR gauge sets (several of which look identical, though the names are sightly different). As best as I can recall, one set did work for a time with my SGA MD-8x simulation, but sometime after I had uploaded my panel update, I noticed that mine had stopped working, though no one has contacted me to tell me they had the same problem.

Any idea as to what could have changed which would cause this?

Thanks!

I've noted the same problem. EPR's are either too low at max or too high at idle. Being ex-P&WA, I want to fly the engines as designed. I've tried adjusting the 1532 values, but the range always remains at delta 0.4 EPR. I think the only way around the problem is to modify the EPR gauge with a scale factor to multiply the EPR value by 150% or so. Then the takeoff EPR will read 2.1 and idle will still be about 1.0.
