Arbil Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 In the falcon I get the whole range of my throttle once it's in idle. I love that. The hornet isn't like this, the bottom like 7 percent of my throttle movement is dead, unless I'm doing crazy user curves. I would prefer the hornet worked like the viper. Either way, I think you guys should be consistent between your modules on how this behaves. Absolutely loving the viper, great job everyone!
Deano87 Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 The Hornet has a flight idle gate which is activated by weight on wheels, this is why the bottom 7% of your throttle does nothing while flying. This version of the Viper doesn't have this. If you adjust your Hornet throttles to ignore the flight idle gate then you will extend you landing rolls somewhat as you wont be throttling back fully on landing.

Even on the ground with WonW you lose some of the throttle bottom end movement to the off/idle position. Then in the air with WoffW it is even more pronounced. If it was consistent with the Viper you wouldn't get any throttle deadzone when coming out of off into idle. Though the flight idle detent thing can still be argued separately.

Though the flight idle detent thing can still be argued separately. Cant speak to the ground ops, but if the engine model is correct/modeled, flight idles will not match ground idle in most cases. This is the same case in the real thing and is to aid with stall/stag prevention at speed. Flight idles will be higher and are dependent on airspeed. In the case of you original complaint, they are consistently attempting to model correct function of the real thing. Different aircraft, different motors, different operations. If you don’t wanna accept that, I can’t really help you, no one here can. With that being said, the hornet has it’s areas for improvement concerning the axis limits, but that’s not an F-16 forum complaint. Edited October 4, 2019 by Rainmaker
