Engine Dials

Hi All

Any way to manually control you RPM's using the engine dials, I used to be able to ages ago but that was a few installs ago and can't remember if I had a mod that made it possible.

I'm currently using GWX3 with the steibler patch.

Regards

I currently use GWX3 and I have never seen an RPM indicator that you can control. I usually just use the knot indicator to fine tune my cruise speed so that I get maximum fuel efficiency. Tell me about this Stiebler patch?

Correct, setting speed in alternate dial to 1 knots gives 50 rpm.

Yebbut, that's bass-ackward. You want to set rpm to get a desired speed (and AFAIK you can't). And the rpm vs speed correlation differs for diesel and electric propulsion.

Thanks Pabbi! I'm thinking about doing a clean install of SH3 and playing LSH3 V5.1 Could anybody give me some feedback on this?

LSH v5.1 is three years old. But v6 is expected "soon". Was supposed to be released this month, but software has this way of trashing the developers' best plans. You might want to wait until the new version comes out. Check the stickied post in the SH3 Mod Forum to monitor the dev team's progress.
