spyro23 Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 It seems that throttle movement is not animated above military thrust level. Acc. to labels throttle should be much more forward when AB is engaged. Printscreen below taken during full AB [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Corrigan Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 I've also noticed that the animation lags behind my control input much more than in other aircraft. If you were to rapidly move the throttle back and forward, for example, after a short while the animated throttle will be several cycles behind. Obviously that's something you don't do while flying, but I still think it could be more visually responsive.

spyro23 Posted September 21, 2014 Author Posted September 21, 2014 It is not lag problem, in my case throttle grip does not move beyond mil pwr at all when afterburner is selected. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Corrigan Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 I didn't mean it was -- just a (somewhat) related observation, instead of making a new thread. Win10 x64 | SSDs | i5 2500K @ 4.4 GHz | 16 GB RAM | GTX 970 | TM Warthog HOTAS | Saitek pedals | TIR5
lxsapper Posted September 21, 2014 Posted September 21, 2014 Actually this is not correct. If you move your camera you will see what part of the throttle lever is hiting it's max range of motion (by the white metal on the side).

I wanted to say this too... maybe we should open a new thread? AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.
spyro23 Posted September 22, 2014 Author Posted September 22, 2014 Unfortunately I could not find good photo showing "Bis" throttle at full AB position but I found one from "MF". In "MF" throttle grip is different a bit, but the throttle quadrant / base is basically same as in "BIS". Since the angle of the photo is a bit different I drew yellow line parallel to the panel in the background. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
LOGICNC.COM Posted November 14, 2014 Posted November 14, 2014 Not a Bis throttle, but basically the same except for the handgrip... Shut off Idle Full MIL 1st stage AB 2nd stage AB LOGICNC.COM The Next Logical Step
portman Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 I've also noticed that the animation lags behind my control input much more than in other aircraft. If you were to rapidly move the throttle back and forward, for example, after a short while the animated throttle will be several cycles behind. Obviously that's something you don't do while flying, but I still think it could be more visually responsive. The real-world MiG-21 flight manual states that the throttle should be moved slowly from idle to military power in not less than 2 sec., so I guess that's what's animated in "our" cockpit.
