Inf Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I think the thrust reverser disengages if the afterburner goes on? Which makes it really tricky to get to max reverse thrust if your throttle doesn't have a detent. I get that it's a safety thing: if the pilot's gone for full thrust you can assume there's some kind of emergency...but I'd really like to see an override setting where when the thrust reverser's engaged, your throttle's max range just goes up to mil power. Or some other kind of override to stop the afterburner lighting. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kite Ryder Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I'm guessing you don't have a detent for your throttle to stop you from going into afterburner by mistake? As that's how the actual plane works your options would be a deviation from reality which I don't think will be given much energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inf Posted May 28, 2023 Author Share Posted May 28, 2023 Yep, no detent. That's what I mean - as an accessibility option for the detentless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MYSE1234 Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 The afterburner is already disabled when the reverser is engaged. 2 1 Viggen is love. Viggen is life. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] i7-10700K @ 5GHz | RTX 2070 OC | 32GB 3200MHz RAM | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I thought it disengaged when you went max burn, so I'd been holding the throttle at like 3/4 trying not to afterburn.

The thrust reverser doesn't activate until the front gear is compressed. So if you're a bit too fast with applying full thrust you might fire up the afterburner before the thrust reverser deploys 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
