Afterburner setting adjustments

[TurtleHawk 6]

I looked in the KB, but couldn't find the topic.

 

How do you adjust/change when the AB kicks in?

 

Thanks!

Under the engine entries for each aircraft (in that aircraft's data.ini), you'll find the following declarations for an afterburner-equipped model:

 

FullABThrottle=XXX

FullABRPM=XXX

 

I normally set the values, like so:

 

FullABThrottle=1.12 ; equates to 112% normal travel, or, "around the horn"

FullABRPM=1.00 ; equates to 100% RPMs

 

On multiple-engined craft, don't forget to set the same values for each engine

 

Now, on some aircraft, afterburner engagement is controlled through an outboard detent on the throttle quadrant. Due to the limitations of hardware (lack of support for this on available flight controllers), this feature isn't implemented in Strike Fighters, or, any other sim that I'm aware of.
