CMBT button (Combat Thrust Botton)

[Soundwave197]

Hi,

i just found a little button with the name "CMBT Thrust Button" right beneath the H²O-switch.

 

I couldnt find anything in the Pocket guide about that except that panel is called "Combat/Water Panel". Is it like a afterburner or something?

From the real manual:

 

2.4.4 CMBT Switch/Light

TheCMBTswitch/light is on theCMBT/water panel.When the switch/light is first pressed, a green SEL light comes

on indicating combat thrust rating is operational and armed for wingborne flight.With the SEL light on, gear up, and

nozzles aft, a yellow (green on Radar and Night Attack aircraft) CMBT light comes on when JPT reaches 630 °C

with the --406 engine or 715 °C with the --408 engine. If JPT remains at or above 630 °C or 715 °C, as applicable,

for 2.5 minutes the CMBT light will flash.

Pressing the switch/light a second time disables combat thrust and turns off the light(s). If the SELlight does not come

on when the switch/light is first pressed, the combat thrust limiter is disabled and cannot be selected until the combat

mode switch in the main wheelwell is placed to ENABLE.With the combat mode switch in DISABLE, wet and dry

rpm will be restricted to 99 percent for the --406 engine or 109 percent for the --408 engine, when above 250 knots

during thrust vector control (TVC) (nozzles greater than 11° to 17°).

Use of the full 10 minutes combat rating must be carefully monitored to prevent premature engine removal due to

count dissipation.

Some more context. Basically it allows the engine to run at a higher RPM/JPT.

Is that implemented right now?

Is that implemented right now?

Yes. If you press the button in the game right now, you'll find that in normal forward flight, with your throttle at 100%, the engine RPM will jump from 109% to 111%.

 

Of course keep in mind that running at either of those RPMs will damage the engine after 15 or 10 minutes respectively.

Don't think they made it yet, at least I couldn't find it

[The LT]

{down = engine_commands.Button_CMBT, up = engine_commands.Button_CMBT, cockpit_device_id = devices.DECS, value_down=1, value_up=0, name = _('CMBT Thrust Button'), category = _('Custom Commands')},

 

Here's the binding for the default.lua

If you don't mind me asking, could you explain how you got the down and up Values?

Or how did you make this work?

 

EDIT:

Nvm I understand
