• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Controlling N1 speeds

Hi all,
On the real aircraft the computer controls the engines N1 speed to not exceed an N1 bug on the speed gauge. The speed bug is auto set according to conditions. So if you push the throttles to full, the N1 speed is restricted to the bug, and pulling the throttles back allows the engines to drop back as well. There is a feature in FSX that allows you to set the bug position
(>K:AP_N1_REF_SET) and a hold variable that will lock the N1 speeds to the ref speed. This looks like a way of doin this as you can say that if N1 speed exceeds the bug speed, then implement the hold. Point is the hold controls throttles so pulling the throttles back will not reduce the engine speed.
Anyone have any ideas how to simulate this?
cheers,
nick
 
As far as I know, the only way to do this is to fully manage N1 through your own code. This is what I did in the FeelThere Airbus Series: a custom PID controllers manages the throttle applied to the engines according to the thrust lever positions. It is not easy to develop, but it works great.
