Nozzles don't go past 3.5 on the gauges

[Heliflyr]

Hi all,

I seem to remember that the F-14 nozzles use to go to 5 when in full AB. I notice a while back, that the nozzles now stop at 3.5 on the gauge. The only time the nozzle gauges read 5 is when the throttles are at idle or when the engine are off. I can also see in external view that the nozzles are not open fully with full throttle. Is this normal or is this a bug?

I’ve not noticed any issues, is it the A or the B model? 
 

also have you checked your throttle curves and hardware?

[Heliflyr]

I just checked the A and the nozzles are hitting 5 on the gauge. So the problem is with the B model and this rules out hardware and the curves are at default. 

Also, I noticed the B's RPM is not going over 100% in AB unlike the A model.

I just uninstalled and reinstalled the F-14 Module and that didn't work. I also renamed the DCS file under Saved Games and that didn't work. Finally, I ran the repair utility and that didn't work. If it is a corrupt file is there anything else that can fix this?

I don't get the B past 3.5 either, down low, or up high. Doesn't seem like a corrupted file.

the gauges for the B are incorrect, the devs plan to fix this but it's low priority on the list. iirc there's a mod for this tho

that's because the FADEC (or whatever it's name was) in the B is more advanced, it can hold it at exactly 100%, but the tf30s in the A are mechanical, so they have an allowable error of 2% rpm.

Thanks Elliot, glad to hear that.

Yep, in the B the needle goes max to 4 o'clock position - it's the max and corresponds to the max position on the proper F110 nozzle indicators (it's number 10 then) whenever they'll be implemented as @Elliot said.

Check here for how it should look like:

I could have sworn there was something in the NATOPS explaining the nozzle gauge needle position differences and what number corresponded to what nozzle position but I can't seem to find it. Was I imagining things?

p. 2-31

btw: I checked B NATOPS for the nozzle op. program and full AB makes them open to only around 70%, while 100% is only for low speed idle, gear up or ground idle with wow
