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.

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.

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. :blink:

 

Overheated or what?
