The engine power had increased in the B/D variant to the degree AB was not needed. From a former US Navy AD-1 who worked directly on the Tomcat.

jf do you happen to know what would happen when the f-14 radar lost the target during a tws lock?

thank you for your service it reminds me sorta of the corsair how the late f4u-4as would torque spin or something like that because of the power

I've been told that the A model was allowed to use AB on takeoff but due to the more powerful engines in the B and D models it was not normally allowed. This in case the burner failed on one engine on takeoff. I used full power on both engines but AB on the left only.

Exactly the reason

@2ZZGE100 2 ай бұрын

It was because asymmetric thrust in the.B/D due to flame it out in burner could result in loss of control. The A version needed both engines in afterburner because if one engine flamed out, the peaky TF-30 engines did not make enough thrust in military power to safely climb out if the plane was at max takeoff weight. It was totally safe to just use military power in the A version when it was lightly loaded and you can find old videos from the 70s of F-14A taking off in mil power.

IIRC, AB launches were authorized at the ship, prohibited at the field for B/D variants.

@agamemnonn1 9 ай бұрын

You'll see some old footage of even loaded B/D Tomcats taking off from carriers with no afterburner. The easiest way to tell the variants apart while out at sea.

AB launches were not authorized at the ship, one reason being the case of engine failure but also because the AB launch would overspeed the launch shuttle.

Tf30 was zone 2 at prep and zone 5 after the shuttle took off. 110s didn't need AB and as you showed asym thrust could cause a hellva ride off the deck with a flame out.

Please tell me how to split throttle

@sidesl 7 ай бұрын

You need a physical throttle with two separate axes that can be unlinked. If your throttle has only one axis you could map one engine to that and the other engine another axis.

These bots on the carrier are only good for visual effects and do not enhance simulation realism, which I find quite disappointing.

Supercarrier isn't worth it at its current or even sales price imo. The flight deck crew do function, but they are kind of lacking. ED has been really slow with Supercarrier feature updates too.
