Is there a line item in the aircraft.cfg and/or airfile which will edit the maximum RPM gauge reading for an aircraft with constant speed props (or fixed for that matter) WITHOUT also having an effect on speed and power? Such editing has worked well for temperature and other gauge indications, but I have failed to find the right combination for RPM.In some aircraft, RPM readings are low even though power and speed look pretty well on spec as near as one can tell by MP/throttle settings and a try at interprelating where pitch should be. This lacks reality as reducing RPM to specified climb or cruise settings is negated. The maximum RPM indications obtained are well below spec settings. Max throttle and minimum pitch at sea level results in an indication well below even the green line.I have tried the max_rpm mechanical_efficiency_scaler and max_rpm friction_scaler in the config file. I can raise the RPM indication alright, but it also proportionally increases power and speed as well which negates reality. I also tried the RPM_Max in the airfile, but that seems to have no noticable effect.Any ideas?Thanks:RTH

I noticed this too and eventually came to the conclusion that nothing can be done to fix it. Some addon packages might have some kind of routine that fixes it though, but I haven't noticed or discovered evidence of it yet.

A very crude approach:First, set the max RPM value in the cfg file to the correct value. If the RPM never reaches this speed, reduce the prop size until it does. Then alter the max Horsepower value until it flies like it used to.Hope this helps,--Tom GibsonCal Classic Propliner Page: http://www.calclassic.comFreeflight Design Shop: http://www.freeflightdesign.comDrop by! ___x_x_(")_x_x___

Donny AKA ShalomarFly 2 ROCKS!!!Veneviveones (pardon the spelling) came up with a novel aproach for a turboprop with the Rockwell 690B. He mapped RPM to the condition levers, so after landing you can go to beta by "Decrease RPM", advance the trottle, reduce throttle as you slow, idle throttle, conditioners ground idle then taxi. It's the most realistic reverse/beta I've seen yet for FS9.Best Regards, Donny:-wave
