Data.ini : query about the "ENGINE" section

[+Coupi]

Hello my friends ! 

Please I would like understand about the "Engine" section of the Data.ini.

What is (or are) the unit(s) of measurement of these lines:

IdleThrottle=
IdleRPM=
IdleNozzle=

CruiseThrottle=
CruiseRPM=
CruiseNozzle=

MilThrottle=
MilRPM=
MilNozzle=

MaxThrottle=
MaxRPM=
MaxNozzle=

FullABThrottle=
FullABRPM=
FullABNozzle=

Thank You !

Hi,

There are no units for these, usually they require a number between 0.0 and 1.0  as their values (in some cases they can have higher numbers).

To put it simply, they refer to 'how far the throttle is pushed forward' for the Idle/Cruise/etc. settings, what RPM is reached at the given throttle setting, and, if the model has an animated nozzle, to what extent the engine nozzle should open or close.

Yes, Idle, Cruise, Mil, Max are normalized values from 0 to 1. No RPM value in real for Jet_Engine (Prop_Engine has other entries with a real value for RPM).

AB values are above 1 for Throttle and RPM for engines with afterburner (no AB entries for engines without AB). If your Hotas has "hardpoints" for idle and AB start, you have then 2 additional "throttle" parameters to align your hotas "hardpoints" on the "idle" and "max" engine settings.
