Right side generator temp gauge working... or not...

[Tchou]

Hello,

I've done a lot of flights from version 1.0.2 to 1.0.5, and I always saw that the left generator is more "used" than the right one, also in some flights I get the Right temp gauge completely down, it seems like it doesn't work (either in "IN" or "RISE" mode), I guess you already saw this.

I some flights it does work, but I didn't manage to see what is the factor which make it work or not.

Hi Tchou, yea the temp model for the generators was a 'quick and dirty' to get the gauges going way back when.  They are so far down the priority chain that they have been ignored.  They are due for an upgrade to factor in amperage, age, and heat transfer.  Good catch, I was waiting

Im glad someone else besides me noticed this, and that it is planned to be fixed at some point.  I hope the engine egt and oil temp parameters will be updated to display more accurate values at some point in the near future as well.  Its the small details that really stand out
