Reading engine details from FSUIPC

[Passero]

I am working on an advanced analytics application that keeps track of a lot of info from your plane.
Currenty I am working on the engine performance monitoring. Therefore I try to obtain engine RPM, oil temp, pressure and so on.

In FSUIPC these variables are supported and when I obtain them while flying an a2a aircraft, the values do not reflect the gauges.
For example when I get he engine or prop RPM, the value in FSUIPC is a few 100 RPM off from the indicated value.
I notice something similar for oil temp. The value FSUIPC obtains from FSX is 20-30 degrees (Celsius) lower than indicated.

Is there any information available on how to obtain the correct values from an a2a aircraft?

When I test with the out of the box cessna or with the carenado cessna, the values are always spot on so it is an a2a thing.

This is from the 172 Tech Support forum, but it should get you started.

Yes - you'll have to use L:Vars or "local panel variables" for most of the engine parameters due to the custom code which the A2A guys have created. Most of the L:Vars are interchangeable between the 172 and 182 so the link Oracle posted should be fine. However, A2A also created a version specifically for the Skylane which can be found here. (Linked from within the FAQ thread.)

Great thanks! That's really helpful.
