VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants Posted September 18, 2022 Share Posted September 18, 2022 Question: does anyone use AB gate? Does using the AB gate forbid the use of split-throttle? Thanks.

Thanks. it should work just fine, although IIRC the tomcat has an asymmetric thrust limiter that by default will prevent you from engaging afterburner if the throttles are split. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uxi Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Nope, used some 3d printed lift detents for my Virpil throttle. Not Tomcat accurate but worked fine with a bit of a curve. 1 Specs & Wishlist: Core i9 9900k 5.0Ghz, Asus ROG Maximus XI Hero, 64GB G.Skill Trident 3600, Asus RoG Strix 3090 OC, 2TB x Samsung Evo 970 M.2 boot.

r4y30n Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 it should work just fine, although IIRC the tomcat has an asymmetric thrust limiter that by default will prevent you from engaging afterburner if the throttles are split.The limiter is only on the B. It doesn’t prevent the burners from lighting, it just keeps the first lit burner in min until the second lights. Presumably you could run one engine in min burner regardless of what the other engine is doing. The A, on the other hand, has nothing to prevent full AB on one engine while the other is at idle.
