Engine Fires n Extinguishers

[sublime]

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?

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.

I asked this a couple weeks ago and was told that they do work, but only on small fires.

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

same problem

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?

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.
