Limiting N2 to 100%?

Recommended Posts

Guest combatsim

I am trying to write a gauge to limit N1/N2 to 100% so that CN1/CN2 drop with higher mach numbers on a fighter jet. The gauge will hold 100% N2 all the time, and if I add code to make it conditional on throttle position, it stops working. (A:ENG1 N2 RPM,percent) 100 > (A:GENERAL ENG1 THROTTLE LEVER POSITION,percent) 95 > && if{ (>K:THROTTLE_DECR) } els{ (>K:THROTTLE_DECR) }It won't do anything like this, but if I eliminate the throttle position portion it holds 100% all the time regardless of throttle position.Bruce

The limits of the air file don't allow me to maintain 100% indicated N1/2 through the entire speed range up to Mach 2.0 . If I set section 1504 to acheive 100% N1/2 at mach 2.0, the N1/2 will be too low at Mach 1.0, or if I set it to get 100% N1/2 at Mach 1.0, N1 is way too high at Mach 2.0 . The relationship between CN1/2 and N1/2 isn't linear through the entire speed range within which I am working. This is why I want to create a gauge to govern maximum N1 at 100% regardless of Mach number.

Hello,now I understand what you want to do. There are several columns for different Mach nums and you can add quite a few to program the limits to vary with MN. This is in principle but FS9 may have modified how these tables are interpreted. I forget which version you are using.What I do is set up different thrusts with mach if I can't get the displays limites as that is what really determines the performance: Record: 1506 Turbine Thrust Factor vs CN1 and Mach No. columns: 3 rows: 8 0 0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 1.1 1.2 1.6 20 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000 0.00020 0.060 0.065 0.067 0.069 0.071 0.072 0.072 0.071 0.071 0.070 0.126 0.144 0.108 0.07840 0.120 0.130 0.135 0.139 0.141 0.143 0.144 0.143 0.141 0.139 0.252 0.288 0.216 0.15660 0.330 0.356 0.371 0.381 0.389 0.393 0.395 0.393 0.389 0.382 0.693 0.792 0.594 0.42980 0.690 0.745 0.775 0.798 0.814 0.822 0.825 0.822 0.814 0.800 1.449 1.656 1.242 0.897100 1.025 1.080 1.123 1.156 1.179 1.192 1.196 1.191 1.179 1.159 2.1 2.4 1.8 1.3120 1.860 2.009 2.089 2.150 2.193 2.217 2.225 2.215 2.193 2.156 3.906 4.464 3.348 2.418Ian
