A-10 Powah setting

[Tuna-Salad]

So I know the A-10 is capped to not go above 85% N1, but is there a way to override that in the 'oh shit' situation? I've read the entire manual and have not seen it mentioned anywhere. Bueller?

Yes

 

 

the key command is LCTRL+E (x3):thumbup:

[Tuna-Salad]

Is that before or after i press alt-f4?

I may be wrong, but I don't believe there is any extra 'oh shit' power in available in the Hawg.

 

Snoopy?

Admiral's doorbell is the only thing I know of that will give you any extra "oh shit" power - and that is obvious how it achieves that, also obvious what the next step is if you make it back to base......

Sure you can. Sort of..

You can Switch Engine Fuel Flow from NORM to OVERRIDE. This allows to exceed the ITT, what will result in a higher (yellow bar) RPM of the Engine Core and so I think a bit more Power. (So I think, never tried it!)

Didn't know where in the Manual but it's for emergency purpose only. This is not for a SAM coming at you but more for a last-mile-engine-2-dead-land-on-airfield-chance option.

Somewhere it stands, if you stay for to long above 9X% your engine will be damaged or may cause fire.

 

Could be all wrong. Didn't flow this for a looooong time. And so many other People here understand the Hog way better than I.

In a nutshell you are correct but unfortunately not modeled in the sim. If you switch to OVERRIDE in DCS nothing changes.

Well, the fuel flow gauge bounces for a moment :megalol:

I used it once when one of my engine died. Used it for too long and the second engine went on fire… not sure if it was related to damages or the switch.
