Gauges

1,747 KitsuneassemblylinesKAL  2.5 years ago

As you can probably tell by the title, this post is about gauges.
Does anyone know how to connect a throttle gauge to an engine?
So like if it gets damaged it shows reduced throttle
If so, please tell me

    @TheFlightGuySP Mostly correct, but the jet engine does actually have a "Thrust" output variable that could be used as a sort of pseudo-RPM reading, if adjusted properly.

    Rotor RPM gauges already exist, and I believe that it is possible to obtain propeller RPM data for gauges.

    When an engine is damaged, it is the power/RPM of the engine that is reduced, not the throttle input (in Simpleplanes). As far as I am concerned, there is no way to put jet engine RPM or power data into the gauges using the XML editor.
    Edit: I was wrong, as HuskyDynamics01 stated above, there is a jet engine power output variable.
