[BUG] - N1 indication rolling animation #1329

Open KJA1582 opened 3 months ago

KJA1582 commented 3 months ago

Describe the bug

N1 indication non decimal digits do not roll but snap from value to value

Expected behaviour

N1 indication should have a roll over animation on all digits akin to a fully mechanical odometer.

GE: as described PW engines: applies to EPR gauge only. Not N1.

Both PWs and GEs behave as described here.

@turbofandude Unless 0.56+ has changed this, the 1's digits (and the others) do not roll over like the decimal digits do. When the decimal digit reaches 0 from 9, the ones digit should roll with the zero as if they were mechanically linked. As of now (.55), the ones digit immediately changes value.

Watch at 0.25x Speed, LH Reference https://youtu.be/3wzS6fn8BA8?si=wbtRcnDHw3UQgVLA&t=2574

Difference is visible at 1x Speed, MSFS https://youtu.be/mIv7CVhANBM?si=VwrYP-2ph8q5ng_T&t=35

This issue references the digits to the left of the larger rolling tape.

Without this, it means if the engine stabilizes at just below for example 105... the EAD might look like it is display 104.0 because the rolling tape is nearly aligned at 0, but the number hasn't rolled over yet. But if the number is programmed to roll over slightly early than 104.9 might sometimes look like 105.9...

It's even more apparent with the PW engine as EPR doesn't change much at low power settings. So it will be noticeably incorrect.

PW EPR, same thing: image
