JACN Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 - Does real F15s have auto-throttle function? - Is just my joystick or the LO´s F-15 have to be trimmed?. May I be wrong but I think the real one not need to be trimmed, the PTC (Pitch Trim Compesator) do the task: "constant stick position for a given g"
juan_mol Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 -I don't think the real one has autothrottle. -The f15 in lock on does autotrim. But I think it takes it some time to trim the aircraft. For example after a climb you need to wait some seconds for the aircraft to trim to level flight, it's not instant.

Make sure auto level is off by pressing the "H" key and press "ctrl-t" to reset trim. Once you start trimming in the game, it turns off the autotrim feature until you hit "ctrl-t" again.

Yes, it does autotrim after manoeuvered...but when increasing/ decreasing speed (horizontal leveled-1g) you (i do) can see a pitch up/down response...not compensed by PTC.

Well, if it seems to be working right for you guys, may it be a problem with my joystick :icon_frow

STRIKER Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 - Does real F15s have auto-throttle function? Great question...gonna call a buddy of mine who works on them at Eglin and find out cause I honestly forgot. As far at the engine stuff though I know they incorporated a new DEEC a few years back....a digital electronic engine controller for engine management...makes the transition faster from idle to full burner and is more fuel efficient and better for the engine....The 15E model has a much better one that can take the engine from idle to full burner in 4 seconds flat...I always enjoyed watching that!

S77th-GOYA Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 The auto-trim in the lomac 15 seems to have some drift in it, but maybe I need a little bigger deadzone.
Cobra360 Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 The DEEC was brought in with the -220 engine on the C/D and early Es before they got the -229s. There was a lot of problems with -100 engines because the old engine management system was too slow to handle aggressive pilot inputs and led to many flame outs, compressor stalls, fan blade failures and after burner ignition problems, the latter of which cause the loss of the first F-15. The DEEC has fixed all that and pilots no longer have to be careful with throttle inputs. Love the blue AB flame on the -229s.:D
STRIKER Posted February 21, 2006 Posted February 21, 2006 Very well said...I should check my acronyms and spelling next time. Gotta hand it to those jet troops for working on those big blowers! :cool: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Force_Feedback Posted February 22, 2006 Posted February 22, 2006 so how about speed hold, does the 220 equipped f-15C (or is the -100 engine used in lomac ?) have it? Creedence Clearwater Revival:worthy:
