HELICOPTERS

IMPORTANT! Token Variables - along with the Gauge API - have been deprecated in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 in favour of the new Vars API and Event API, which work with the more extensive and supported Simulation Variables and Key Events.

This page lists the available helicopter specific Token Variables for use when creating gauges using WASM / C++.

 

 

Controls

Parameters	Universal Var Member	Description
COLLECTIVE_POSITION	n (FLOAT64)	The position of the helicopter collective where 0 is fully up, and 1 is fully depressed.

 

 

Engine Vars

Parameters	Universal Var Member	Description
ENGINE1_ROTOR_RPM ENGINE2_ROTOR_RPM ENGINE3_ROTOR_RPM ENGINE4_ROTOR_RPM	n (FLOAT64)	Returns the rotor 1/2/3/4 RPM. Percent scalar 16K (Max rpm * 16384)
ENGINE1_TORQUE_PERCENT ENGINE2_TORQUE_PERCENT ENGINE3_TORQUE_PERCENT ENGINE4_TORQUE_PERCENT	n (FLOAT64)	Returns the rotor 1/2/3/4 torque. Percent scalar 16K (Ft/lbs * 16384).
