bkthunder Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Selecting the SEL/CMBT button and going full throttle doesn't really seem to produce any noticeable effect, other than *sometimes* a 1-2% increase in top-end RPM. In most cases I have not seen RPM go higher than 109% (which is the normal limit, not the combat thrust rating). Can anyone with more knowledge add their $0.02 and explain what is this supposed to do? Am I missing some keystrokes to maybe push the throttle further forward (like the gate in the mustang)?

LazyBoot Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 It could be a temperature issue. The CMBT buttons enables the "combat" section of the engine limits Though it really isn't more than a small boost over the "maximum thrust", it's there for those situations where any little will help.

Yeah that's clear, but it doesn't always give a 2% RPM rise, sometimes it's less even though the temperautre is nowhere near the limit...

Snowblind Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 you can disable the JPTL system (switch is under the throttle) this is not recommended but will push your rpm to 116%, howver engine temp goes through the roof, only use if your engine is hit by AAA and you need more power to stay airborne. 8700k @5.2ghz delided \ Asus Maxiumus XI code \ RTX 3090 FE \ 32GB DDR4 corsair vengeance RGB @3600 \ 1TB Samsung 960 pro NVME \ 1TB samsung 850evo \ 2TB WD black HDD \ MFG crosswind v2 \ Virpil WARBRD X2 Constellation Alpha L+R and Mongoose CM3 throttle \ ASUSPG348Q 100hz 34 ultrawide [/i]https://imgur.com/a/VjNEllM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluffy Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 other than *sometimes* a 1-2% increase in top-end RPM 1-2% is a difference between VTOL and no-VTOL at close to max VTOL weight. Rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.While I completely agree with you, except in extreme circumstances (heat and altitude) if you need the extra percent with water in, maybe you shouldn't be VTOLing, haha Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Aurora R7 || i7K 8700K || 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s || 2TB M.2 PCIe x4 SSD || GTX 1080 Ti with 11GB GDDR5X || Windows 10 Pro || 32GB Dual Channel DDR4 at 2667MHz || Virpil Warbird Base || Virpil T-50 Stick || Virpil MT-50 Throttle || Thrustmaster TPR Pedals || Oculus Rift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrike88 Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 So from what I gather and testing is the CMBT switch / mode is not implemented correctly or not functional besides just the green light on the switch ? Tested also and no relative difference on JPT max 715 nor flashing after 2.5 minutes. Anyone else confirm this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While you get the 2% RPM increase under certain circumstances, I never reached the temp at which the CMBT light turns on. I remember seeign it work a few patches back (I mean harrier patches, so probably last year :music_whistling: ) Windows 10 - Intel i7 7700K 4.2 Ghz (no OC) - Asus Strix GTX 1080 8Gb - 16GB DDR4 (3000 MHz) - SSD 500GB + WD Black FZEX 1TB 6Gb/s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
