Hobbs Meter way off

Post by Viking01 » Tue Mar 03, 2020 8:54 am

Hi,
I noticed that the Hobbs Meter in the Turbo Otter reads way to high. After about 1 hour of flight it read 50.7.

Is that inentionally?

I believe it uses the default sim engine running time rather than time in air - would that make sense for your figures?

Sim total engine hours , its not flight time as such.

There would appear to be an issue with the gauge , checking in game and the aircrafts state.cfg demonstrated no correlation in my case between engine hours logged and what the gauge reads , that will need to be looked into .

Thanks for bringing it to our attention .
