dawgie79 Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Like the recently released F-14B, I would really like a sound which you can use as feedback to know when you engage the afterburner, maybe a click-sound or something, as one can hear in the F-14B. For those of us not using the Warthog throttle, and/or finger lifts, but just kinda guess while checking the IFEI when advancing the throttle, it would come in real handy. :) Just a thought. Thanks.

StandingCow Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 I know this is marked as "Not Realistic" but when most people don't have a throttle detent that gameplay trumps realism. Afterall the real thing has a detent. It's the same thing as us getting the altered Maverick slew due to warthog throttle limitations. 5900X - 32 GB 3600 RAM - 1080TI My Twitch Channel ~Moo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
key_stroked Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Why is this automatically marked as [NOT REALISTIC] in all caps? Realistically, we could feel when the jet goes into afterburner if we were actually flying it. Since we're sitting in an office chair and have no physical sensory perception linked to the jet, having an audio cue would help those that don't have any detents. Just blindly using the "realism" label is premature and needs to be thought over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawgie79 Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 Agreed. Although not realistic, it will be a helpful addition to us non-detent-throttle users. :) Like StandingCow says, the TDC slew is not realistic as well, and was done specifically for Warthog users at first (I disabled realistic TDC slew as well, so it benefits more than just Warthog-users). So why not this for non-Warthog (detent) users? So I would still like to opt for it. :) Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yurgon Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Great idea! The audible feedback when entering AB in some of the modules (not just the F-14; at least the Viggen has it as well) is a brilliant addition. Just a tiny detail to help us sim pilots understand better what's happening. Even with a custom 3D printed TM Warthog detent, I would still find this beneficial; ideally, it could be enabled/disabled via the module's "Special" tab. :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
probad Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 what do you mean there is no detent? the throttle range switch makes for an excellent software detent if anything its the f-14 that needs to get rid of its hollywood sfx and add in a software detent feature instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, just a audible click to simulate the use of the RL finger lifts or something. I've no certainty if I'm in Mil power or afterburner without switching to F2 and looking, anything else is just guesswork. Even if IRL I'd never hear the finger lifts wearing a helmet, I'm guessing, I'd feel them or the throttle action and be in no doubt what the aircraft was doing. i9 9900K @4.7GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX4070 12GB, 1+2TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 4+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 F-15EX Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TPR Pedals, TIR5, Win 10 Pro x64, 1920X1080 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
