Machalot Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) When I have the throttle detent turned on in-game (binding "Throttle Range") to lock out the afterburner, then move my throttle controller to the full forward position, the in-game throttle stops at full military power as expected. If I then press the Throttle Range button (bound to my HOTAS) to unlock the detent, the next movement of my throttle controller causes the in-game throttle to snap to the corresponding position. If the new position is in the afterburner zone, the fuel flow indicators increase, but the afterburner does not ignite. I have to cycle the throttle back below full military power and then into afterburner to get the afterburner to light. Does anyone else see this behavior?

TOViper Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 Hello Machalot! I had this from time to time in the past, but I hadn't used the throttle detent binding/function (I know ... *full_of_shame*). Usually AB worked fine, but if this issue came up, I had put the throttle back to idle and then back tu full AB. Don't know if a movement back to 100% MIL would have solved the problem. Back then I thought it might have to do with my Warthog thrust levers (calibration problems or not reaching their 100 saturation). Interesting find, I will have an eye on this during the next flights.

Machalot Posted January 21, 2021 Author Posted January 21, 2021 To light the burners I don't have to run it back to idle, just to slightly below full military power before pushing it back up. 1 "Subsonic is below Mach 1, supersonic is up to Mach 5.

Tiger-II Posted January 22, 2021 Posted January 22, 2021 Specifically, if you're in AB and pull the power back such that you kill the AB but don't cause the nozzles to come out of MIL, then pushing the throttles over the detent will NOT result in burner light-off. You need to get the nozzles to move out of MIL before you can re-engage AB. I can't decide if this is accurate or not.
