• 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.

Hi all,

Just wondered if anyone can tell me the correct Variable for Prop Amps Gauge. The only Prop Amps Gauges I have are not true prop amps the closest is

<Value Maximum="30" Minimum="0">(A:Electrical genalt1 bus amps,amps)</Value>

Thank you all as always.

Cheers
Matt
 
There's no A:Var for prop amps. In its most basic form, it's binary - if prop anti-ice is off, zero amps, if on, then a certain amount of amps depending on number of blades. Consult the flight manual of the aircraft for normal values. If you want to get creative, you could model partial failures or cyclic power application, but you'll have to supply the logic.

You can declare prop anti-ice in the [Electrical] section of aircraft.cfg:
propeller_deice=
If you know that value and if prop ice is on then you can fudge a prop ammeter out of it.
Once declared in the aircraft.cfg it will also affect the draw on the system current it is assigned to.
