• 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.

MSFS20 Rough Running Engine - Best methods for setting

Hey, really, thank you so much for your help with this!

But sadly this still moves the throttle back to the 0% position when it updates in the loop.

The CustomEngineModelling.xml is in the ModelBehaviorDefs if that makes any difference?
 
I think I might have found something.

I also have the following in our Bonanza_g36_interior.xml

XML: 
<!-- ENGINE #####################################-->
        <Component ID="ENGINE_Throttle_Levers">
            <UseTemplate Name="ASOBO_ENGINE_Lever_Throttle_Template">
                <ID>1</ID>
            </UseTemplate>
            <UseTemplate Name="ASOBO_ENGINE_Lever_Propeller_Template">
                <ID>1</ID>
            </UseTemplate>
            <UseTemplate Name="ASOBO_ENGINE_Lever_CowlFlaps_Template">
                <ID>1</ID>
                <USE_TRAJECTORY_DRAG_MODE>True</USE_TRAJECTORY_DRAG_MODE>
            </UseTemplate>
        </Component>

If I comment out

<UseTemplate Name="ASOBO_ENGINE_Lever_Throttle_Template">
<ID>1</ID>
</UseTemplate>

The throttle does stop moving (completely and doesn't show input at all) but the affect works, kinda. It is pretty violent and eventually gets to the engine getting stuck running at 640rpm and no amount of throttle will do anything.

I must be missing something in the rest of our code perhaps?

Click to expand...
can we try changing (&gt;K:THROTTLE_SET) to (&gt;K:THROTTLE1_SET) ? also, can you track the the simvar throttle position? (A:ENG_THROTTLE_LEVER_POSITION:1,Percent) and see how it reacts?
It makes sense that the lever animation is not working yet, because it should be linked to the (L:THROTTLE1_SET) variable... to link it , you can use this example , just try to find out the G36 node ID and animation names for the throttle lever and replace the ones from the example:
XML: 
        <Component ID="HA420_throttleLeft" Node="HA420_throttleLeft">
            <UseTemplate Name="ASOBO_GT_Anim_Code">
                <ANIM_NAME>HA420_throttleLeft</ANIM_NAME>
                <ANIM_CODE>(L:THROTTLE1_SET) </ANIM_CODE>
                <ANIM_LENGTH>1</ANIM_LENGTH>
                <ANIM_LAG>100</ANIM_LAG>
            </UseTemplate>
        </Component>
 
got the anim and node ID names, code ammended:
Code: 
        <Component ID="ENGINE_Lever_Throttle_1" Node="ENGINE_Lever_Throttle_1">
            <UseTemplate Name="ASOBO_GT_Anim_Code">
                <ANIM_NAME>ENGINE_Lever_Throttle_1</ANIM_NAME>
                <ANIM_CODE>(L:THROTTLE1_SET) </ANIM_CODE>
                <ANIM_LENGTH>100</ANIM_LENGTH>
                <ANIM_LAG>100</ANIM_LAG>
            </UseTemplate>
        </Component>
