sublime Posted December 11, 2020 Posted December 11, 2020 apparently known - extinguishers dont work in the A engine fires are surprisingly common, and not even at high alpha maneuvers or in combat. my last sortie as multicrew, on the way back the pilot nosed down a little to push past transonic because the bug. both engines suddenly went aflame.. for no apparent reason. this has happened at least 5 for sure times with no enemy damage and way above bird height since the A came out. I have tracks next point - you can fly for a LONG time with fires. IDK how long, but we flew several minutes with a double engine fire yesterday. I havent tested it, but it almost seems like you can ignore it? anyone else?
RaisedByWolves Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 Technically speaking, the engine when its running is on fire! I have gotten the double engine fire in -A tomcat a few times at level flight both burners zone 5 a few times.
9thHunt Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 I asked this a couple weeks ago and was told that they do work, but only on small fires.
The_Tau Posted April 7, 2021 Posted April 7, 2021 Is this fixed? I tried to press fire extingisher button and it doesnt seem to work - ENG FIRE EXT Advisory light doesnt come on and fire is still there, even when I slowed down to like 250 knots Tau's Youtube channel Twitch channel https://www.twitch.tv/the0tau

zetetic Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 Same issue as well. I have checked it in air and on the ground. I have activated by cockpit button and via joystick. What can say Heatblur team about it?

sublime Posted May 11, 2021 Author Posted May 11, 2021 I don't know but I wish this would be addressed. Also Id like to know if in the several months since I posted this if fire damage etc has been looked at. I did notice that the things I thought were extinguishers ( I knew this when I posted so it wasn't the culprit though; but newer guys may not know this ) - the black and yellow prominent things on the dash are actually fuel cut offs for fire apparently. The extinguishers as has been said are a different key. There's a couple other things I really want to know about. Like when are we going to get digital engine gauges that the B actually had.. will they ever make a 'JESTER - IFF command'. He reliably does call outs but when I played some of the more hectic dynamic campaigns with the F14 in chaotic situations or if you're TWS locking things quick you may miss or not get a 'friendly' call out. This can lead to friendly fire incidents.. obviously. 1
