investigating failed/damaged tachometer stops engine beat telemetry (simshaker/bass shaker)

[peachmonkey]

hi, @NineLine

there's a bug in A8 (I'm not sure if other ac's are affected, I'll test them later), when there is a tachometer failure the RPM engine 'beat' telemetry stops working.

To reproduce:

- have a bassshaker/simshaker

- create a mission with A8

- enable "Tachometer" failure

- observe the disappearance of the engine RPM beat in the bassshaker/simshaker. There's a distinct change in the bass shaker operation, instead of the vibration I get some very low long tone, not sure what it is exactly, but it's definitely not OK.

 

It seems the engine rpm beat is tied to the tachometer, which really shouldn't be since it's just an instrument failure, not an engine failure.

I'll see if we have someone on the team that can confirm. Thanks.
