• 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.

P3D v4 Help Needed Please. No Hydraulic Pressure.

I have been trying to add hydraulic pressure to my twin jet engine model, but no hydraulic pressure is showing in any of the gauges.

I have [HYDRAULIC SYSTEM} in my aircraft.cfg with electric pumps = 1, enginemap= 1,1,0,0, hydraulic_system_scalar = 3000.00000

I am using default model.def animations needle_eng1_hyd_press with 360 key length for engine 1 and the same for needle_eng2_hyd_press .

I have also added engine hydraulic pump switches with default model.def switch_hydraulic_eng0 and switch_hydraulic_eng1.

Model shows no needle movement in P3D v4.4 with pump switches on or off or no switches.

Do I need to add something else to add a hydraulic system to my model?

Thanks,
Tyler
 
In my modeldef, the stock part "needle_eng1_hyd_press" uses L:Vars... (why?)
In order to get a reading you will need to either modify the modeldef with the variables: (A:HYDRAULIC PRESSURE:1, psi) and (A:HYDRAULIC PRESSURE:2, psi)
-or-
In a gauge send the A:Vars to the L:Vars:
XML: 
<Gauge Name="Send Hyd Vars" Version="1.0">
    <Update>
        (A:HYDRAULIC PRESSURE:1, psi) (>L:needle_eng1_hyd_press, number)
        (A:HYDRAULIC PRESSURE:2, psi) (>L:needle_eng2_hyd_press, number)
    </Update>
</Gauge>

Thank you for your help again Roman.

I added pressure needles for engines 1 and 2 to the modeldef with the A:Vars and I now have hydraulic pressure.

Wow, that's a very odd choice for a default modeldef entry...
