CBStu Posted April 30, 2020 Posted April 30, 2020 I am using a Warthog throttle but I think this could happen w/ any throttle. I was reading a thread about AB detents and remembered I need to fine tune mine. A couple months ago I had done the DIY mod to make the AB detent a push through w/ no need to lift the handle. I had done some tuning to get the physical spot to match the engine by flying in F2 view right behind the plane. I could move the throttle and watch for the engine exhaust to turn bright red. A curve of 10 did the job. But a few times since I had noticed, as I pulled back on the levers, the left would sometimes stay in burner longer than the right so today I fixed that by changing the curve to 9 on the left and leaving the right at 10. Good, that's fixed. But in the Caucuses 'free flight' mission I push to just before the AB and watch the engine page and I get N1 = 105 and N2 = 99. Then I go to full AB and the #s drop off. After maybe 45 seconds they settle to N1 = 92 and N2 = 97. Speed definitely goes up in AB and FF (fuel flow?) about doubles so it all seems to work out but what is w/ the N1 and N2 #s dropping off in AB?
