    Hello,

    I'm trying to create an SD profile.

    Now I'm at the L variable "RPM_needle". The values there do not correspond to the rotational speed.

    Before I do the math and calculate how to derive the speed: Do any of you know the corresponding formula?

    Many thanks!

    @fsh1hh That variable is coded to control the needle animation so you'd be better off using the 'A:PROP RPM:1, rpm' variable if possible? If not, here's the conversion (prop RPM on the left, L variable value on the right):

    300.0, 0.0
    500.0, 14.0
    1000.0, 45.0
    1500.0, 76.0
    2000.0, 108.0
    2500.0, 140.0
    2700.0, 153.0
    3000.0, 171.0
    3500.0, 200.0

    Hello Martyn,
    thank you for the fast feedback. Then I actually prefer to use the A variable. And that's the way I go with "SUCTION PRESSURE, psi". (Whereby the displayed values do not match the display in the cockpit. But I hope to find a solution for that)
