Did you search the forum? I am pretty sure someone asked this a while ago as well, although I cant remember if they ever got everything answered.

Also have you seen this:

Not sure how updated it is, but it might have help.

Yes I searched, first thing I did in fact, and yes I've been through the BG:DCS. Not my first rodeo lol

 

none of the info pertains to piston engine, just jet.

Sorry, I am bound by Moderator rule to ask if you have searched the forum first :)

I will point someone to your post, but they are busy so I make no promises they will answer, hopefully some on on the forum will get to you first.

When I was messing with my B-17 AI I could figure most, as they are pretty much as they seem to describe, but I dont think I found out what every single one meant. You just end up doing a lot of playing and messing, I had something pretty decent at the end for my B-17, but its a lot of hit and miss, and I dont think ED is super eager to lay it all out publicly for a number of reasons.

Best bet is to look at them individually, guess at what they mean, see if you can come up with a number that resembles what is already there, so like backwards engineering the P-51 for example... then just tweak and tune, its time consuming, but you can get there.

I get what your're saying about not wanting to disseminate info, but it's not exactly proprietary info that I'm after. I'm just looking for the definitions of the terms, not the actual numbers. I can gather and or simulate the specific data.

It's just standard engine info, but it's not presented in a standard way, or at least not one I'm familiar with. (I'm not an engineer)

 

Since it's just SFM I'm sure there is alot of engine info that isn't even included, but until we can decipher the alphabet soup that resides in the engine parameters it's a bit futile to try to tune it. IMHO :)

I totally get what you are saying, its just kind of a sticky place to be, they dont want to scare away people that want to cut their teeth on modding and creating new things for DCS, but they also have to balance that with protecting their stuff as well. A number of 3rd Parties my be nervous of sharing info as well because of the NDA they sign, so other modders might be able to help, maybe PM some of the guys in the "what if" thread, maybe some of them have figured out things and would be willing to help.
