Engine Torque & Temperature Dataref

[Mdiaz380]

Hi, I'm building a home cockpit and I am trying to show in an LCD the %value of the Engine Torque and the Temperature.

I'm looking for the values you can see on the cockpit gauges.

I have been looking to the value of DataRefs (with DataRefTool) and the values you I see doesn't match.

Can anybody help?

THANKS

Since you posted in the Saab forums can I assume you want the Saab Datarefs?  Or, do you want X-Plane Datarefs?

Yes, sorry, the LES Saab 340A ones.

I bought this plane some time ago, and I am in love with it !!!

 

thanks

You can use these for now, they will be changing in v2.0....

LES/saab/engine_torque_L
LES/saab/engine_torque_R

LES/saab/engine_temp_L
LES/saab/engine_temp_R

Great!

I will try them tomorrow.

thanks a lot

No, it doesn't work.

The number are different to the gauges.

Just check the gauges and the DataRef values:

For Temp_left, the dataref gives 1136 but the gauge shows 620.

The same with Torque, the dataref shows 144, and the gauge shows aprox 28%

The Dataref unit of measure for the temperature is in Fahrenheit.  

The Dataref unit of measure for the torque is in Newton Meters.

 

These values are keyframed in Blender to produce the correct gauge readings.  There are no Datarefs that have the Celsius or % Torque values.

Perfect, with that I can properly do some maths and show the same values on my cockpit

THANKS A LOT
