• 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
I try to get Prepar3D sending me the right data on simconnect.
I try to read the HydraulicPressure on ENGINE 1 and 2... but only get read on ENG 1
ANY IDEA WIL HELP

- I have the following in Aircraft.cfg

[GeneralEngineData]
//0=Piston, 1=Jet, 2=None, 3=Helo-Turbine, 4=Rocket, 5=Turboprop
engine_type = 3
fuel_flow_scalar = 5.000000
engine.0 = -5.19, 1.69, 4.33,
engine.1 = -5.17, -1.52, 4.32,
min_throttle_limit = 0.000000
max_contrail_temperature = -39
master_ignition_switch = 0
starter_type = 1

[TurbineEngineData]
fuel_flow_gain = 0.002
inlet_area = 6.011
rated_N2_rpm = 41.586
static_thrust = 1700.000
afterburner_available = 0
reverser_available = 0.000

[hydraulic_system]
normal_pressure = 507.632000
engine_map = 1, 1, 0, 0
electric_pumps = 1

And i read this on simconnect variable

ASystem.DoubleENG HYDRAULIC PRESSURE:0:pound force per square foot0
ASystem.DoubleENG HYDRAULIC PRESSURE:1:pound force per square foot71557.5390625

Hmmm... as far as i know, the .air file in P3D hold the initiate flight model configuration, but most of the configuration is today in aircraft.cfg
and no matter what i try to configure regarding engine.... I only get data from 1 engine according to HYD.

Two thoughts...

1 - You're using a zero based index for the systems... perhaps it should be a one based index instead?
2 - This is for a helo turbine configuration and maybe it doesn't support multiple hydraulic systems.

My thoughts are it's #1, but... I felt I should point out #2.
