Andysim Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Does anyone know how to adjust the amount the RPM gauge drops when the carb-heat is on or the ignition switch is turned to one magneto? (Just Flight Flying Club X, Piper Warrior). It is currently quite small and I want to make it more realistic. About 75rpm drop. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keefpee Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Sounds realistic to me (75 RPM) one would normally expect 50 RPM drop, if more then you possibly have a problem on the other magneto/ plugs. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andysim Posted February 18, 2015 Author Share Posted February 18, 2015 Hi Keith, It's currently only dropping about 10rpm. The maximum amount is 75rpm so I was wanting to experiment with a more obvious amount of 'drop'. Do you know how/where to alter the coding? Andy.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Possibly a bit crossed swords here I was only thinking about mag drop, but I would think about 10 rpm drop for carb heat is about right. As for changing the coding for that...sorry at the moment I have not come across it, but I will have to look & will report back if I find it!

keefpee Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 The only reference I can find is in the .air file, item 323, which apparently puts an offset into a file. It does seem possible to hex edit the value, but what the outcome would be is beyond my ken. If you get any joy please post it for others. Good luck Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxsttcb Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 *.air file, item 323 is not used in FSX. Used in the earlier sims.
