Hi Would it be possible at some point to set the engine oil SimVars? `ENG OIL

PRESSURE` Engine oil pressure Pounds per square foot TYPE_UINT16 -
ENG OIL QUANTITY Engine oil quantitiy as a percentage of full capacity
Percent over 100 TYPE_UINT32 -
ENG OIL TEMPERATURE Engine oil temperature Rankine TYPE_UINT16 -
I’d like to simulate eng oil usage but can’t currently set the engine oil
amount via SimVars. I’m using a js gauge to read and set dataStore amounts
which I can then query and set via simVars to simulate a living aircraft.

Hello I suggest you request this feature in an idea so we don’t miss it in one
of our future reviews. OIL AMOUNT is deprecated, I think it will show a
constant. Regards, Sylvain

It can be done using SimConnect SetDataOnSimObject to set oil quantity. I use
it for setting oil burn on big radials.
