Hi all,

 

first of all excuse my poor English.

I believe the M2k is over-consuming fuel.

Main caracteristics of Snecma M-53 are:

- consumption from 24,64 to 25,55 mg/NS. (Dry - no PC)

- Max thrust from 54,92 kN to 64,35kN (Dry - No PC)

 

Whatever the engine fitted on our beautiful bird, fuel flow should not exceed 100 kg/s. Short calculation, with worst config:

Thrust: 64,35kN - Consumption: 25,55 mg/NS : 64,35*1000*25,55 = 1644142,5 mg/s = 98,6 kg / min.

 

Except if I'm wrong, the bird is too thirsty at this stage :)

 

EDIT: with M-53P2, numbers are correct for the calculation.

I agree

War is easy and is just like riding a bike. Except the bike is on fire and the ground is on fire and you are on fire and you realise you are in hell :joystick:

Something looks odd with it certainly. I am usually conservative with fuel and find myself in bingo really soon.

 

That was also my thoughts. I had the feeling we couldn't be airbone as long as M2K does in real life when patrolling through the French sky.

 

This is why I made the calculation.

Correction in development so should be in next update!

 

Love you guys :thumbup:

Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit

DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

So when can we expect the INS to be fully implemented?

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.

For reference, the engine specifications can be found here:

The SFC at AB is 2.10.

 

The maximum thrust is 21400lbs.

 

21400 * 2.10 = 44940 / 2.2 = 20427kg/h /60 = 340.5kg/min.

 

For MIL it would come out to a maximum of about 98.9kg/min.
