Hello Herve and forum ,
Newbie needs help with AFSD . . . Shaft Torque (turboprop data) is maximum_torque (turboprop_engine -> aircraft.cfg) isn't it ?
The torque gauges in any payware aircraft I have reflect a torque change when maximum_torque is altered in the .cfg file; but AFSD does'nt. I realise tables 509 and 1508 both affect torque too, still, if the on-board gauges appear to measure any change I make in maximum_torque what is Shaft Torque in turboprop data of AFSD (all other scalars / tables remaining unaltered) ?
I'm sure there's a simple explanation that I just can't seem to find (sigh). Apologies if this has already been asked/covered.
Thanks, Cornell

No shaft torque (lb-ft) as calculated by AFSD is %max torque (fraction, as provided by FS via FSUIPC or SimConnect) * maximum_torque (as defined in the aircraft.cfg file). I never had any problem report with it

Thanks for that Herve. I'll experiment further then. Cornell

You may test it by changing the maximum_torque value in the [turboprop_engine] section of your aircraft.cfg file (it is in ft-lbs) and have a look. The percent max torque (reported by FS/Simconnect) only depends on your power setting (as displayed on the associated torque gauge of your aircraft, you may also check for that)
