Helicopter torque indicator needle cannot display values above 100

SU4 1.6.34.0

I just noticed the following. It seems like the white torque needles are now locked to 100% as well. Maybe this was accidentally introduced when limiting the purple needle to 100%.

When I first tested the fix in the beta I am pretty sure it worked for me, but now that I am out of the beta it seems to behave differently.

On the the screenshot you can see that despite having 120% torque, the white needles 1 and 2 are stuck at 100.

So basically the white needles should always display the corresponding engine´s torque, which can be higher than 100%. The purple needle is based on the collective position, which can only go to 100%.

Is it possible to open the bug report back up for this introduced bug or does it require a new one?

Hello @b1e1n7e

I created a new topic using your message from the other post, as this is a different issue.

It may be related to the fix, but since I’m not sure, I prefer to track both issues separately for visibility.

I was able to reproduce it, and you’re right, the needle should be able to go above 100.

I’ve logged a ticket in our backlog.

Thank you

Regards,
Boris
