eatthis Posted May 24, 2020 Posted May 24, 2020 are they accurate or not? its lbs per hour isnt it? 7700k @5ghz, 32gb 3200mhz ram, 2080ti, nvme drives, valve index vr
sublime Posted May 24, 2020 Posted May 24, 2020 The rightmost is The left is rpm Middle is temprature. To be honest.. im sure its in writing but.. the temp and theirs switches for engine temps. No idea if they work or what for. The 3rd gauge is LBs per hour yes. REMEMBER your wingmen burn it WAAAY faster

EnDSchultz Posted May 24, 2020 Posted May 24, 2020 They are in lbs/hr and are accurate as far as I know. Just remember there are two engines involved so you have to add the two gauges together for your total burn. Depending on your load and altitude, you can get decent amount of economy out of the Cat, as low as 5000lb/hr combined in my experience.

Depending on your load and altitude, you can get decent amount of economy out of the Cat, as low as 5000lb/hr combined in my experience. Imtested it last week. Took off with 3500lb and no stores, full kil climb to angels 40 then maintained msch 0.7to 0.8 using between 1500 and 2000 lb/hour on each engine. Did a 138 kil transit and landed with 900 lb left so lefy she can be very frugal 7700k @5ghz, 32gb 3200mhz ram, 2080ti, nvme drives, valve index vr
Sublimearrepentido Posted May 25, 2020 Posted May 25, 2020 are they accurate? Yes they are. Howehver I wouldnt try to plan down to the minute etc using them. Lots changes just maneuvering let alone in combat. Use them for ballpark. If you can at all climb to 35 - 40k. You can fly around at 2k lbs per hr. .7 mach isnthe best climb crusing speed it seems for balancd The planes engines WILL cut out before the gauges read zero. Around 400 lbs iirc

Around 400 lbs iirc cutout is 300lb whats the best climb and cruise speed? i read .72-.75 depending on load 7700k @5ghz, 32gb 3200mhz ram, 2080ti, nvme drives, valve index vr

punk Posted May 25, 2020 Posted May 25, 2020 Remember these tapes are for the A. B will get new engine instruments later in dev. Only difference is the F-14A has TIT (Turbine Inlet Temperature) Gauge and the F-14B/D has EGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature) Gauge. Salute, :punk: Punk [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Salute, :punk: As draconus said. They look diff. Remember the 90s matte black digital screen almost like how the hornet engine instruments color is? Like that. I havent seen it close and lit up just from an angle in pix. Its still something Im DYING for the A model so I can fly it in my dce
eatthis Posted May 26, 2020 Author Posted May 26, 2020 Remember these tapes are for the A. B will get new engine instruments later in dev. thats why i was asking if theyre accurate 7700k @5ghz, 32gb 3200mhz ram, 2080ti, nvme drives, valve index vr
draconus Posted May 26, 2020 Posted May 26, 2020 thats why i was asking if theyre accurate I doubt anyone knows dev including but it's easy to test. Just remember it doesn't count AB currently. There were recent changes in fuel controller. Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX4070S Quest 3 T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria
303_Vins Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 Not accurate at all. Especially when in Gate. Tested wit chronometer/Fuel consumpion and make some basic math. FF shows what it wants. Completely inacurate.
303_Vins Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) examble: I fly 30 000 ft 1.8 Ma level. FF gague shw total FF 9800 lbs/hour so it should fly more than hour on gate. When normally 16200 lbs - 4000 bingo= 12200 lbs. Tomcat burns 12 200 lbs in 8 minites 30 seconds at paremeters above. It should indicate 86 120 lbs /hour. Very similar F-15C ( 91 600 lbs/hour ) So. Maybe i should multiply indication by 10 ? Edited January 28, 2022 by 303_Vins
BreaKKer Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 You don't get fuel flow from afterburner BreaKKer CAG and Commanding Officer of: Carrier Air Wing Five // VF-154 Black Knights
Victory205 Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 Afterburner FF isn’t measured. At high alt it’s ~ 500 ppm, medium 1000 ppm, low 2000 pounds per minute. 2 Fly Pretty, anyone can Fly Safe.
