markturner1960 Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Agree, this would be a huge improvement on how it currently. Hopefully it can be addressed? I don't agree with Skysurfer, it's very tricky to fly around it, when especially in the groove, when fractions of a second make a huge difference to your position.

Done just fine around the boat with the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a little longer than it should be (6-7 sec, when it should be 3-5 sec), and this is according to Hornet pilots, NATOPS, and real life videos. No wonder it's so hard to trap on the boat. Here's an interesting video. Engine test, and then the pilot brings both throttles back to idle, and then immediately full burner. Takes 3.58 seconds for the right engine to get to full AB, probably because it was still spooled up from the test. And 5.54 for the left engine, which was truly at idle. by my estimation... looks like ED nailed it to me. Edited May 22, 2021 by Banzaiib Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simo Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 @BIGNEWY- I noticed "Refined engine response." was included in the Hornet patch notes for 2.7.6.12852. Are you able to elaborate on what parameters were changed and whether this was in response to analyses provided earlier in this thread? I hadn't flown the Hornet for a couple of months, but subjectively it feels slightly more responsive to throttle inputs and am having an easier time catching the 3-wire (although could be to do with mostly flying warbirds recently!). Thanks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkthunder Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I also would be interested in knowing more. It seems the engines are somewhat more responsive, but it still takes woo long to go full A/B and from full A/B to idle takes several seconds. It seems there has been an improvement in spool time but not in A/B light-off time.
