Engine parameters

[theOden]

We're all able to read parameters such as fuel and engine values but has anyone found a way to set the values?

What I'm at is to set engine oil and radiator temps to "running" levels when a plane is spawned on a runway (reading birthplace data or the missionfile if more of a "coop") - beats me how they gets there with a cold engine .

There is no way to set them.

Yeah can't set them unless a ground unit. this is about as close as you can get
I gave up lol maybe to drunk.

        /*       //  AiAirGroup airGroup = aircraft.AirGroup();
               // if(aircraft == airGroup.GetItems()[0])		        

               {

                   double speed = aircraft.getParameter(part.ParameterTypes.Z_VelocityTAS, -1);
                   double sFuel = aircraft.getParameter(part.ParameterTypes.S_FuelReserve, -1); // kgs
                   double iFuel = aircraft.getParameter(part.ParameterTypes.I_FuelReserve, -1); // kgs
                   int ammo = 0;
                   for (int i = 0; i < 9; i++)
                   {
                       ammo += (int)(aircraft.getParameter(part.ParameterTypes.S_GunReserve, i)); // qty
                       sFuel += (int)(aircraft.getParameter(part.ParameterTypes.S_FuelReserve, i)); // qty
                       iFuel += (int)(aircraft.getParameter(part.ParameterTypes.I_FuelReserve, i)); // qty					


                   };
                   if (ammo == 0 || sFuel < 20)

                       sFuel += 40;
                   iFuel += 40;
                   ammo += 1;

               }

Thats what I suspected.
Thanks for looking into it Kodiak, I do appreciate all other efforts in scripting from you aswell.

For anyone else that might look for the same effect and ending up in this thread, I've also tried to manipulate the game settings (GamePlay.gpDifficultyGet().Engine_Temperature_Eff ects that is) in different events, still no success but here you go for future reference (all commented out at this stage):
