Is there any afterburner gate like F-14/F-16/FA-18?

Is there a control which, by hitting it, switches AB on and hitting it again then only full mil power? Thanks in advanced.

But I think you could custom the throttle range for afterburner in the special settings as an alternate.

 

Correct, in there you can adjust the points for Idle and for AB:

What I mean is something like this:

Well, F-16 now has the same thing, but the case of F-14 is a bit more complicated.

And what is its advantage? Both ways achieve the same objective, and Razbam’s saves you a Hotas control to use on something else.

It can be useful for people without detent on their throttle, finding the MIL position without going AB might be difficult.

However, a bind that does move throttle from/to AB is a bad idea as it will fight against axis jitter. Adding a bind that would prevent/unlock the AB range is a better idea. I'll add one, it's not the first time someone asks for it.

For that purpose I use afterburner shutdown switch binded to the throttle buttons. It just require to open the red flap prior to use the switch.
