Refresh time rate

[lh777]

I created the gauges for engines like the ones in the red box. I would like the numerical values to have an update not instantaneous but of a few tenths of a second as in the following video, minute 0:54

For example my XML code for the first decimal of the EPR is: (L:EPR E1, enum) 100000 + 10 * 10 % int
for the second decimal is: (L:EPR E1, enum) 100000 + 100 * 10 %


In this way the updating of the value is instantaneous, while I would like it with a defined time rate, is it possible?

You could add a delay statement?

<Delay DegreesPerSecond="80"/>

<Lag>30</Lag> to slow down rotation of a drum.
For example, here is a script for the tenths digit of a DME drum display:

  <PartInfo>
    <Name>B737_drum_DME_tenths</Name>
    <AnimLength>9</AnimLength>
    <Animation>
      <Parameter>
        <Code>
          (A:NAV DME:1,nautical miles) 10 * 999.9 min 0 max 10 % 1 / flr
        </Code>
        <Lag>30</Lag>
      </Parameter>
    </Animation>
  </PartInfo>

There's no pause. I built a TriStar some years ago and got both my RB-211 figures and videos from an instructor at BA. Admittedly, he instructed on the B747 but the info came from the B747-100/200 simulator which used the same gauges as the TriStar. What you are seeing is a sudden change in EGT and N3 which appears to run a load of figures followed by a pause. However, the drums do not roll smoothly. They snap from figure to figure. To mimic this you need to use an integer display and not a double (as I think Bill is proposing); this is what you seem to be proposing in your original post.

Thank you all.
@DragonflightDesign The gauges are the same as the 747, true, but in it 747 are flowing, while in the tristar they update in jerks according to the speed of spoll up.
The @tgibson advice works, but I would like to snap the numbers in integers and not run the band of the gauge per pixel. Is it possible to scroll by pixel intervals?

I using shift and reset.

I using shift and reset.

Can you give an example?

I thought of defining a function at intervals but maybe there is an easier way.

In practice I would like to go down from EPR 1.22 to 1.23 when EPR = 1.2299999. Or from EPR 1.19 to 1.20 when EPR = 1.1999999. I hope I explained myself

For retrieving the "ones" (L:EPR E1, enum) 100 * d 1% r flr 1000% d 100 / flr r 100% 99 == if {+}

For retrieving the ".1s" (L:EPR E1, enum) 100 * d 1% r flr 100% d 10 / flr r 10% 9 == if {+}

For retrieving the ".01s" (L:EPR E1, enum) 1000 * d 1% r flr 100% d 10 / flr r 10% 9 == if {+}


I tried this but they return me as EPR 0.00 Is there any algebraic error?

it C++ math
first make it value individual value: unit (u), tens(t), hundreds(h). each value at range 0 - 9 (using floor and loop)
fm (loop 100):

        u = asiu;
        t = asiu > 9 ? asiu - (9 - asit) : asit;
        h = asitfm > 9.9 ? (asiu - (9 - asit)) - (9 - asih) : asih;
