Are you using AB detent?

Not a bug. This is called RPM Lockup. This is done in order to avoid an inlet unstart. It's very similar to a compressor stall, in fact, they are both called/known as an aerodynamic disturbance. This happens when you vary the mass flow too much in the engine compared to the inlet, so most engines with EECs keep the engine at MIL or above to avoid this aerodynamic disturbance, some other engines used to open the nozzles, even more, reducing the thrust. So in order to slow down, you need to increase drag until you go past the speed at which computers think it's fine to reduce N2. In other planes like the F-14A, MiG-19 even (IIRC), throttling down at supersonic speeds is prohibited. Although it has what's known as Mach lever to protect the engine from these aerodynamic disturbances.

F-14 takes 68,4 seconds by the way. :) Looks like HB got it right this time.

Yes. Fuel flow increases with speed, as well as to maintain AFR near the stoichiometric region. Either way, nice comment Yo-Yo. Thanks!

Oh yeah. I noticed it. Probably because the airflow at that particular speed isn't compatible with the RPM setting of the supercharger at low altitudes? There may be an interaction with the water as well, I'd say? In a gas turbine, there are some similar behaviors, but I believe the airflow is too great for that particular supercharger setting. When you increase the mass flow, the turbine requires more horsepower to drive the compressor, the extra mass flow comes from the high speed and water injection (water injection works like an injected mass flow system), so perhaps that's why we see a loss of horsepower in those graphs.

Not sure if I understand your question?

This has nothing to do with the thread...

Thank you for posting this. This needs to be addressed quickly. :thumbup:

Exactly. That's the kind of thing I don't understand, for some modules it's fine to have such an option, but for others, it isn't. Also, what's so difficult about changing the laser codes on the ground before you take off? I always read the briefing, changing a few laser codes isn't a problem at all. But in case you forget, well, guess what, you made a mistake, it's your fault! :D That's how things work in real life. If you mess up, you take responsibility. That reminds me of when people fly the F-5 and instead of rearming the aircraft with AIM-9L/Ms they take the CATM-9 (training version of the Sidewinder), then 5 minutes after the take off they look at their wing and see the blue training missile and then wonder why they didn't pay attention during the rearming. :music_whistling: (I personally love when I make these mistakes — I can only blame myself for that!)

What's your speed? Flying really fast increases your fuel consumption, especially at supersonic speeds.

Can't agree more with you guys!

Unfortunately I don't. Maybe you could ask ED engineers? They have tons of documents about western jet engines. Hornet has this feature implemented very well by the way.

Nice comment Amy. That makes more sense now. Thank you all for your replies.

That would be awesome, but as Snoopy says, that ain't happening any time soon I guess.

By the way, do you work on the RPM at supersonic speeds? Why when I am at supersonic speeds and I pull the throttle back the RPM goes below MIL? I guess RPM lockup isn't modeled yet?

Well, the CORE RPM shouldn't increase from MIL to MAX AB, why would you see an increase in fuel flow? IIRC the FF gauges don't show AB FF, just like the Hornet.

I thought about that too but isn't this a sim where the learning curve is really steep? The full fidelity sims and "better gameplay options" shouldn't be used in the same phrase, I guess? I don't really understand why the sim tries to make the gameplay better in one aspect by simplifying the process and in other areas, it tries to be as realistic as possible. I was just trying to understand the logic behind it, A-10C has this feature as well. But why don't you simplify other aspects of the sim as well then?

Question is pretty straight forward; why is the Hornet able to change the Laser code of the LGBs (Specifically GBU-12s and GBU-24s/PW2/3) in-flight if that's supposed to be changed on the ground only? Other modules like the DCS: F-5E and DCS: F-14 have this implemented correctly. See, the PW2 and PW3 bombs are supposed to have their laser codes changed on the ground only and with a flat screwdriver, this isn't possible by means of software or anything. So why is that? Please let's keep the thread as clean as possible. Thanks.

There already is one of those.

Matt said no to me about the BRU-55.

Forcing people to do something they don't want to is definitely a NO GO. Terrible idea. When I'm not in the mood to join the SRS I'm not going to, that's the option I and you have on most servers. But I feel like once a VOIP is implemented, more people will be on COMMs.

Night missions? HEEELL YES! Any news on the DCS dedicated server?

Just splashed a 21 with guns, guns seem to be extremely effective, unlike the missiles.

Thankfully.
