This function is 100% garbage:

Noice. So just need a IF to check override_throttle and flip between using simDR_throttle_ratio and simDR_engn_thro?

If eec is functional (norm or alt), override_throttle=1. That's going to be 99% of the time for most people. YT vid didn't talk about full on failure modes. But I'm guessing that would want override_throttle=1 as well for custom behavior. In the future.

Its a reasonably "fun" little problem to solve. its just my eta to play with it given my current schedule of more important things is sometime in February or March, which is why I threw it out there for anyone interested in playing aircraft engineer. Because it annoys me and I don't want to wait that long.

Guys, you can try to ask at the Aerowinx forum... Nothing more close to the Boeing expertise than there 🙂

That'd be boring though. The fun thing about problem solving is solving it on one's own.

I found their user manual. Very detailed. I'll flip through that a bit to see if it can answer these questions. Also found another vid in that same channel msparks posted earlier, that talks AT.

The creativity will come in wrangling XP!

for a start n1 has lots cool of simulation into it

Which n1/epr for the pid target? Default vs eicas? In other words, are you satisfied with the current turb perf maps?

EDIT: nevermind. Won't matter cause it'll be setting throttle_use

Oooo. Why can't I see the new pids in a dref editor?

the p i and d values are stored in /pid

the eccs are in pid/ecc/epr/ and pid/ecc/N1

throttle is using the original throttle drefs.

Make sure you git pull'd or grabbed the current zip (and selected the right version)

you can check you are in the most current from ident should have

op program 

XP1150-2022/12/27 20:56

and ohh need to change that to 12

EDIT:Just did a quick hop from Charles De Gaulle to London Heathrow, the actual AT part still needs some love (gonna rip out the pid and replace it with a sweeping window or whatever its called for SPD mode), SPD is "pumping" the throttle at altitude and its not handling IDLE properly, but all the other bugs this was causing (didn't stop with bad anims, the list grew quite long from testing so I had to "bite the bullet" and just get it in) seem to be under control now.

I'm on a git pull after your post. I see the lua commits but only see:

Also, it's doing an instant crash on load in. Lots of bouncing. Though that might be on my end. I'm running it via RDP this week and initial FPS is ~10 for a sec. Might be something glitchy w/ the FM at low FPS?

think that is saved preferences for the plane, kill the _pref file.

There is some mitigation in for low framerates, but the system can't slow time like X-Plane can, anything under 30 is expected to be problematic

Hmmm, strange, definately getting that OP PROGRAM?

Yeah, that's been messing with a few of us, reasonably sure its the

747-400_prefs.txt

that gets created in the aircraft folder being incompatible between XP11 and XP12 acfs.

Yeah, I've deleted it many times.

LR's dref editor shows the pids. Dunno why the new hotness doesn't.

maximum xplane wierdness.

Must be something in preferences then.. its "not" coming from the git, because its a direct clone of what I test fly...
