Throttle percentage display
-
I’ve looked high and low and cannot find a way to display the throttle percentage onscreen (i.e. Throttle 78%). I’ve seen videos where they have it displayed, so I know it’s possible. I’ve tried the keyboard commands that look like likely candidates, but to no avail. It’s most likely something simple that I’ve overlooked. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! My apologies if this should’ve been posted in Tech Support.

3D cockpit, right side instrument stack of the center console
you have OIL, NOZ POS, RPM and FTIT
RPM is what you seek -
The parameter you ask about is displayed by default for aircraft other than the F-16 in the UL corner of the screen; each engine separately for twin-engine a/c, such as the F-15 or F/A-18.

Crud. I was afraid that might be the case. I guess I need a bigger monitor (My eyesight isn’t what it used to be.). Not the answer I was hoping for, but thank both of you nonetheless.

Vags, are you thinking of this line in the falcon bms.cfg file:
set g_bNoRPMOnHud 1 // Removes the RPM indication on your HUD, as in the real aircraftNot realistic, but useful when you are unsure your AB détente is a little out, and stuff…

Malc; it might be? What effect does changing/deleting that have? How would I change it? Having the RPM displayed would be especially useful because I am using the T16000 joystick/throttle combo and there is no AB détente

Looks like this.

Just as Malc suggested - you need to find this entry set g_bNoRPMOnHud 1 in the bms.cfg file. Open the file with any text editor and search for the quoted statement. Its meaning is this: “No RPM On Hud - True”, so if you change “1” to “0” (zero), you’ll also change its logical value to “False”, meaning the RPM will be displayed on HUD like in the screenshot above. Save the file (make a backup if you’re not 100% sure what you’re doing) and you’re done! It’s a viable option I completely forgot about when I was typing my first reply. Good luck!

Just to clarify, falcon bms.cfg file is in the user/config directory.

Sweet! Thanks guys! Found it in the “Devs Section”. That’ll make life just a tad bit easier.
