V2500 Engine data for flight sim needed
Hi Folks,
I'm working on a PC based simulation system which will be closey modelled on one of the airbus 320 family, and we've run into a problem. It uses the V2500 A1 engine, and however we try, we can't get information that will give us a relationship between thrust developed and EPR.
The reason that this is a problem is that for a computer based simulation, we have to model drag, rather than just see it happen, and to get anything like correct handling characteristics, thrust and drag appear in quite a few of the formulae. There's our problem, we can't have unknowns on both sides of the equation.
We've gone through the FCOM's, and as much of the computer based training systems as we can, and while there's lots of EPR to N1 & N2 relationships there, we can't find anything at all that will give us EPR (or N1 /N2) to thrust.
Anyone seen anything, or know of an obscure site somewhere that might have some useful data. I've looked at the IAE V2500 site, but there's nothing there of any help to us.
I'm even hoping that maybe there's a Flight engineer out there who works on an Airbus system, and might have some of this information tucked away somewhere.
In hope.
Thanks
