Hi, I am writing a little app to let me operate and view gauges using FSUIPC in VB2008. The problem I have is that for example, if N1 >70%, the EGT will drop by about 50degrees. I have written the code and it works but the temperature drop on the gauges is too quick, it goes from one value, straight to the modified value. My question is therefore, is there a way to make the transition smooth so the gauge needle moves down slowly rather than instant?

Thanks in advance, Chris

Well, if FS is that coarse then all you can do is interpolate values between and move the needle more slowly to its destination. That will obviously make it lag somewhat, so I wouldn't think that would be a good idea for crucial flight instrumentation such as the AI.

Have you tried looking for better FS aircraft models which don't have such a coarse value change? Or is the jump purely due to some rather slow sampling your program is performing, like once per second instead of every 20-50 milliseconds?

Regards

Pete
