How do I get an engine to be on at 5% throttle when the throttle is set to 0?

    @ZeroWithSlashedO I'm assuming that this person wants their props to idle. That first equation would mean that throttle is only 0.05 when your throttle is at 0, so if you have your throttle at 0.001 say, then the throttle will go down to 0.001, which isn't how engine idling works. That next equation would mean that at 95% throttle, the engine will be at 100% power, which isn't perfect either.

    @Farewellntchii That would set throttle to 100% when you set the throttle above 0.05

    0.95 * Throttle + 0.05

    Throttle = 0 ? 0.05 : Throttle
    if Throttle is 0, then input is 0.05, otherwise it's input is Throttle
    if what you're trying to do is adding extra 5% to your thrust even when throttle is at 0%, use Throttle + 0.05
