Lexx_Luthor Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Don't use afterburner unless you really need it. The old crapp jets eating fuel in afterburner offer you a new gaming challenge in combat flight sims never seen before. Learn it. When I got the Strikefighters, for my first real "dogfight" gaming test I, always a contrarian, setup Su-7 as flyable, against AI B-57. I was that much a noob. I wanted a blasting afterburner like in the All In Wonder digital superHUDjetsims. I nearly ran out of fuel within a few minutes. I had always known about Su-7 having maybe 5 minutes endurance on afterburner at low level, but I never expected to SEE IT IN THE SIMS. So this totally surprised me. Quote

+Wrench Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 to descrease fuel usage... make sure tires are properly inflated make sure engine ignitors are not fouled; clean/replace as needed air intakes and associated filters are clean and allow adaquate airflow compressor turbine blades are not nicked, bent or otherwise damaged final stage and/or afterburner sections operate as per aircraft maintence manual use proper weight and viscousity of engine lube oil for the climate (switching to a synthetic is very helpfull) use of proper type of fuel; check aircraft's TO and maintence guide for specifics - may also be adjusted for climate reduce external drag; remove unnecessary pylons, weapons and other protrusions that disrupt airflow reduce internal weight; gun ammo, extras like the CD player, microwave oven, beer cooler walnut cockpit trim, tuck & roll upholstured seating, etc KEEP YOUR FOOT OUT OF IT!!! (or in this case, hand) oh, also lower specific fuel consumption statement in data ini. Wrench kevin stein Quote
_black_cell_ Posted September 23, 2008 Author Posted September 23, 2008 Thanks for the info guys. I aded the drop tanks (or DP) option to the weapon stations. Quote

_black_cell_ Posted September 23, 2008 Author Posted September 23, 2008 One more thing. I tried to make the jet go faster. I got to 2180 knots and then the jet went on fire and exploded. Overheated or what? Quote
kesegy Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 simple laws of physics.. everything in the universe explodes at 2180kts Quote
