EGT

In the list of assignable commands for FS2004 there are a set of EGT commands:


EGT        
EGT1_DEC              
EGT1_INC              
EGT1_SET              
EGT2_DEC        
EGT2_INC              
EGT2_SET              
EGT3_DEC              
EGT3_INC              
EGT3_SET              
EGT4_DEC              
EGT4_INC              
EGT4_SET              
EGT_DEC              
EGT_INC              
EGT_SET            

I imagine that they are something to do with the Engine as there are four of them but beyond that I am clueless.

Any help greatfully appreciated.

Exhaust Gas Temperature

Just a parameter for engine management and for leaning your mixture.

The _set  _inc  _dec commando's suggest that you could influence them.
Would not know what's the reason for it.

This is a parameter that you would like to read from the sim to make an EGT gauge.
But an EGT input would not make sense.
(perhaps for an instructor station to induce failures)
