I wouldn’t call anyone stupid after attempting whatever it was you just did.

You realise there is a difference between afterburner levels, right? It’s isn’t an On/Off switch like how GJN models it. Hence why you stating it is full afterburner from a youtube video filmed on someone’s phone, makes you look exceptionally clever.

Seeing as the Russian-players now think video sources are OK, I wonder how many nerfs to soviet vehicles we can achieve with YouTube vids from a non-recent special military operation in a land far far away.

They do have visible different levels of afterburner in game but its just is after burner 101% or 110%

2742

I know you can technically go every increment between 100% and 110%, but I thought it didn’t make any difference to the afterburner plume visual?

2743

Visually no difference

Will extend your Tornado’s fuel while not totally murdering the thrust as well.

the difference in Minimum and Full afterburner can be seen visually

Yeah I use partial AB all the time in the f16. The thrust gain is huge with a marginal increase in fuel consumption.

We are to accept that you’re an expert who can tell what percentage of AB the Gripen is using from just a video recorded on someone’s phone?

Have a day off.

Its nice to have particularly as on controller the half burner trick wasn’t possible, though for a controller player ideally it would retain the same gradient sensitivity as normal thrust.

Yeah, even on a HOTAS, I feel like I have very little control between 100-110% thrust. Would also have been nice to have a configurable deadzone between 100-101% thrust

Might make a forum suggestion

Would be personally very desirable for me

Would be great if you could decrease the afterburner without it automatically going to 100%. At least that’s how it behaves for me. They could go up to 120% or higher to make it more controllable.

2751

Yeah, If it was me id have:

  • Configurable deadzone between 100%-101% So that you could reliably enter and stay at 100%.
  • Increase the size of the reheat zone for further control (again this could be totally configurable) maybe 120% or maybe even higher
  • configurable sensitivity of the WEP zone independently of the main zone

(Id also just love to have configurable curvers for things like throttle but that aint happening in game)

Yesss, this is what I need more than anything. Let me slow it down by a factor of 10

Here’s a really cool tour of the Gripen by fighter pilot Mikael “duke” Grev, learnt some new stuff including the Gripens “balancing poles” to help with the unstable design

maybe hopefully

2757

Also any feedback on the 2 center pylons getting there CAS functionality? I know they passed it to the devs before Alpha Strike yet i dont think they have been corrected.

not heard anything
