Question about the CMBT button


bkthunder

Recommended Posts

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)?

 

 

Thanks

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...

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.

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.
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

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?

I confirm this. 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: )
