N1 and N2 gauges position


lh777

Recommended Posts

Many models of DC8 (for example FINE AIR) have N1 in the FE panel and the N2 in the main engine gauge panel.

Is it possible to switch positiones of gauge?

just for information this N1/N2 position has been treated in the thread below :

Answer given by Michael:

"This seems to have differed by variant and airline.  I think most 50s had the gauges configured as you say.  However, my United manual has them with N1 on the main panel.  And the 62 series aircraft I was able to get into had N1 on the main panel.

In FSX/P3D thrust is linked directly to N1, or corrected N1 to be more exact. So a lot of time was put into getting the N1/EPR relationship exactly simulated.  N2 simulation is OK, but not as simulated precisely like N1.  And if I simulate EPR sensor icing at some point, you are going to want to see N1 to set power.  So given the choice, it made more sense to me to put N1 on the main panel. "
