Those are bench TSFC you’d need to convert to installed.
you’re lucky. I did that shit with 2x 9L…
Installed doesn’t matter. TSFC is based on thrust, not absolute fuel consumption.
Less thrust when installed just means less fuel is used because the TSFC remains almost the same.
You can see this currently with F-16C running the PW-220, which has a TSFC of ~0.74. Seen both in-game and IRL.
You can also see this while engines up up and down in thrust in-flight while their TSFC remains the same.
Older engines of course don’t behave this way, but the newer stuff does.
Technically TSFC would imply the motor is already installed in the aircraft, otherwise fuel consumption is normally rated as a function of mass flow rate of fuel over uninstalled thrust. TSFC is thus nominally the mass flow rate of fuel over installed thrust. In performance data charts they usually erroneously label the uninstalled fuel consumption “TSFC”.
The relation between S (uninstalled) and TSFC (installed) in equation form is given as;
S = TSFC (1 - inlet loss coefficient - nozzle loss coefficient).
To make it simple, if there is less thrust installed due to channel losses the installed (TSFC) specific fuel consumption will be higher than uninstalled. If the document suggests ~1.7, and the channel losses are not quite 10%, then the SFC will be a little bit higher as the same amount of fuel will be used but less thrust will be made. So if it is ~1.8 in-game, that would be roughly correct according to the documentation you provided.
What’s up with the EF nerf? Nothing is wrong with it before the nerf. So many crying babies cry that EF is too OP, imagine the F/A-18 was added with that level of performance, they will protect it at all cost…

Guys relax! It’s the dev server for crying out loud. Things change all the time, it’s WIP. How are people already offended over “nerfs” and stuff!?
I mean just watched a MatAWG vid and in that video he said the EF engines got nerfed, less thrust than Rafale C ( this suppose to be impossible)
It’s software development. Some dufe changed 1 line of code somewhere and screwed up 99 other classes. It’s fine, its the dev server they are trying to get this WORK IN PROGRESS flight model to where they want it.

Hopefully it get better >:D
Development will likely continue after the patch too, like F-15E Drag/Thrust levels, I hope they do this for the sake of having an accurate, playable and amazing FM that lives up to the near impossible standards set by the typhoon irl

It probably will!

Nice example yeah! Also remember the UFO JF17 flight model on release of the actual patch?
It was fixed within a week. And since Eurofighter is one of two main vehicles this patch, going to 3 whole techtrees as the top of the line. I VERY much suspect that the FM will be completely fine upon release.
Cheers I was going to get on this one today.

Less maneuver yeah i can understand but less TWR than Rafael is completely total BS from Gaijin

Fantastic news! Thank you!
Also, is it true we are getting double AIM-120B pylons sir?
