Why can't Iceman use afterburner when 'afterburner gate' feature is enabled?

[f1rst]

So he enables afterburner only if the 'afterburner gate' feature is disabled and it is very inconvenient. Especially in cases when I have gained speed of 1.6M and I need to jump into RIO's seat to take radar control and Iceman burns all gained speed by not using the afterburners even I command him to increase speed by 200 knots. Can you fix that please?

I too am still waiting for a fix to Iceman not going into AB because I have the AB Gate checked. It is now August 2023.

As a workaround I highly recommend this

It doesnt give you DDD but for 80% of time its ok

Probably you have to update it though if you want new commands like bingo set bindings...
