• 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.

FSX Read val N1 Hold

Hello.
With Simconnect in FSX. I need to know the set value of N1.
Not if it is pressed or not, that works ok.
I can't find this variable in the FSX SDK, but I can in others.(With IOCP Console, I do see the correct value)
In the new fsx, it appears as Specifies the RPM hold variable.
I'm trying to read the value of N1 with the variable: ENGINE_RPM_HOLD and there are no readings.
In theory, it returns the value that is selected with the N1 SET rotary.
I modify the value with: AP_N1_REF_INC :AP_N1_REF_DEC or AP_N1_REF_SET.
How can I know this value?
Thanks for your help.
 
It is definitely in the SDK, I had to go and look to make certain I remembered it correctly.
 
Thanks Ed. I'd always interpreted that one as being associated with reciprocating engines, not turbines. Or does it do both?
 
It doesn't say one way or the other... However, I will point out that an RPM hold for a reciprocating engine in flight is not a common item because that's the typical behavior of a constant speed propeller and not an autopilot function, per se.
