Afterburner - effects
Posted: Fri Apr 18, 2014 6:13 pm
David, I have flow your B-58 since Alphasim days, and it has always been one of my favorite aircraft. However it has always suffered from having unstable thrust during slower flight (try flying around a circuit without having constant decreasing or increasing speed). StormILN's changes have resolved that issue. But the visual afterburner effect still uses an N2 setting that results in the appearance of going into afterburner very early in the throttle range (as opposed to StormILN's FDE, which waits until 95% of throttle). I had a friend adapt an existing gauge so that the effect now corresponds to StormILN's FDE. So what's my problem? In order for the replacement afterburner gauge to work, the panel.cfg file / VCockpit01 / existing gauges 10, 11, 12 and 13 were remarked out - and the new afterburner effects gauge was specified in a new line 10. This works perfectly - except that I now have the Crew Entry Platform appearing with the B-58 at the end of the runway. Engines are working. The Crew Entry Platform will not disappear until the throttle (RPM) reaches a certain point. Will you please resolve this issue so that the visual afterburner (effect) does not come on until it matches StormILN's 95% throttle - and without the Crew Entry Platform appearing until engines are off. I would work on the last piece of the problem, but I don't understand how you have set up the appearance / disappearance of the Crew Entry Platform. Bill
