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.
A:var question

Dare I ask 
Is there a simConnect programmer that could write a function that would override (A:RECIP ENG WASTEGATE POSITION:1,Percent)?
I’m not sure if this is a big job or not - or if it's practical using simConnect.
And it is an experiment…it may not work
The idea is to attempt to override how FS manages boost.
newWastegatePosition = airDentist * gain + offset (?)
Where gain and offset are adjustable…these values would need to be tuned to get the right performance.

Give me a few days. I can put something together.
Last time I looked (FS9,) Wastegate Position didn't really do much, but I haven't checked in FSX.

Doug Thanks so much!
Until you mentioned it, it didn't occur to me wastegate may only react to boost and not influence it. I forgot for a moment this isn’t real life But hopefully a quick simConnect test would show if setting wategate changed the boost – but ultimately the horse power. Perhaps there’s another parameter, a better one, which would allow a function to adjust power (HP) with respect to pressure altitude (outside of adjusting throttle and rpm). I'll be in touch
