I haven't been following this closely. But is it not possible to mimic some data (maybe already suggested)? Based on outside temperature, torque, etc...
Hi Ralph,
I am pretty sure that would be possible. Jacques had suggested it also. It takes a deeper understanding of what the prop pressure and temperature values depend on. Maybe at a later time I will try that. My guess is, Carenado also had a kind of model, derivating from other signals. For now I have lots of other things I want to attend to first.
One of the approaches I use with other aircraft is to read the XML gauge scripts and see how they get the value. Almost all aircraft and rotorcraft can be emulated this way. The only stumbling block is when the manufacturer uses a CAB file to store gauges.
Be care in hunting for the XML files, coders hide them in the most interesting places sometimes.

Hmmm more likely these are SASL modules with XPlane.
XML with Reverse Polish Notation programmed gauges are reserved for FSX/P3D gauges AFAIK.
SASL is using Lua as scripting language, but for commercial use, the modules are encrypted and protected, so any kind of reverse engineering is kinda hopeless.
Might be as well FlywithLua modules, but for a Carenado commercial Airplane, I strongly doubt it.
yes I have the X-Plane Carenado S340B aircraft. There is a directory named SASL3_Tbient, if I look deeper into it I see files ending .secured.
So no, I will not try any re-engineering.
