• 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.

FS2004 Indicated Airspeed rate?

Hi folks,

Simple question, but I've not been able to find an answer myself so far...

Is there a way, either by a parameter in the aircraft.cfg or the .air file to specify a 'reponsiveness' for the indicated airspeed?

I know that there is one for the VSI pitot but cannot find anything for the airspeed... I have found that in turbulence the rate of change for the A: variable in XML is really very very fast! Of course I could re-code to use a damped variable but I am happy to be lazy if there is something I can tweak it with!

Cheers,
Geoff
 
haven't heard of it either...

Here is a crude coding trick that can help if it's not a moving tape: slow the refresh rate of the gauge.

Real airspeed indicators (on ADIR system equipped aircraft) do jump around a bit when they get bad info, or think they get bad info due to turbulence. Not as silly as FS, but sometimes they do.
 
Oh well, I guess I have to do it in the code then...

I think I will try damping it like this (or perhaps even three levels):

( last value + FS_IAS * 2 ) / 3 = new value
last value = new value
