Rhrich Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Hello again all! Apologies in advance, I understand it might be difficult to say something definitive about this. But, sometimes, I would say perhaps one of every twenty times, the F-14 B suddenly seem to lack a lot of thrust. It's especially noticeable above a30. Is there a known error in the game causing this or perhaps something wrong I've done in installation? I've experienced trouble getting a almost slick jet to do 250 ias - even with full reheat. Other times it storms past match 1 without breaking a sweat. PS: I've got an extensive background in aviation - assume it's not a "real life" issue.

Spurts Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Check your AoA when you are stuck at low speed. Had a friend with the same problem in the F-15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhrich Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 Hi, thank you for the message. That did not cause my problems, but it can indeed cause something similar. And it's potentially dangerous in less powerful aircraft, like many GA planes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biggus Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 There is sometimes a bug that seems to cause a significant weight increase if your aircraft is delayed for spawning on the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurts Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Oh yeah, I forgot about that bug. Can't it end up adding like 20,000lb to your weight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that. It comes and goes during a flight. Seems pretty rare as it seems.

Rhrich Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 Hello Draconus, Thanks a lot. What you're describing is exactly what I experienced. The few times this has happened to me the plane suddenly started slowing, like I was towing a large stone or deployed a drag chute. (For illustration, don't take it literary) Do you think the error is still there? I've been in the south the last months, so I haven't played, but it did happen to me sometime not so long ago. Right before or after Christmas perhaps. Is there anything I can do to stop it happening again? Hate to be that guy, but since some seem to doubt both Draconus and myself: I used to be a pilot and I've got many hours in fast jets. I can assure you what I - and by all accounts him - experienced was not caused by pilot error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you manage to reproduce it make sure to save a track and report it.
