Wrightie Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Have i missed posts from HB relating to the F14. Cobra said in the F14 Priority post on the 8th September "Stay tuned as we begin discussing the sweeping changes to the F-14 coming in October next week!" As of yet i haven't seen anything relating to the A at all. I've only seen the changelogs so far. Have i missed some posts somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnionSpider13 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I've been wondering the same. They posted a screenshot of the new (old) RWR on 21 September to Facebook, but that's all I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMike Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 October just begun, guys. :-) Patch is still couple of weeks away and we're crunching hard. The A is already in testing, the artwork should be ready any day now. We're getting there.

LanceCriminal86 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 October just begun, guys. :-) Patch is still couple of weeks away and we're crunching hard. The A is already in testing, the artwork should be ready any day now. We're getting there. C'mon Mike we got like 42 squadrons that operated A models to paint! Screw flying, I just want to paint high-hour airframe reserve Tomcats and cover them in corrosion control paint and boot marks! Looking forwards to seeing if some of the model adjustments made it in for the B and A, that NACA duct on the right engine nacelle needs to go and that means reworking/re-exporting a bunch of skins to make them correct but it makes for a nice break from school.

Wrightie Posted October 2, 2020 Author Share Posted October 2, 2020 Thanks Mike. When Cobra stated you'd start "discussing the sweeping changes next week" I took that to mean you'd start to show more of, the A in particular the week commencing 14th September.

IronMike Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Ah yes, indeed, we wanted to show some updates, but the crunch got the better of us. Always a bit of a juggle, work on release, or work on updates... We should have an update soon, though. Thanks for the kind patience.

LanceCriminal86 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Is it the limiters they put in place after the initial TF-30 issues? I think I remembered something about that being one of the solutions.

captain_dalan Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Is it the limiters they put in place after the initial TF-30 issues? I think I remembered something about that being one of the solutions. I think this one disables the bleed-air. You keep it like that for long enough, and your avionics will probably fry.

fat creason Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 (edited) It vents some air from the compressor section into the bypass duct to increase stall margin during certain flight conditions. It’s an attempt to address the stability issues of the TF30 that unfortunately results in about 20% less core thrust. Many of the situations when it’s active are also situations when you need thrust the most.

fat creason Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 (edited) so will we be able to override it in the a? :D You can, but there are associated consequences. It will just be a keybind for now, we may add clickable CBs at some point but don't hold your breath on that (this CB is in a hard to reach place that you can't really see). I'd take some of those Snort stories with a grain of salt. Okie (2nd most flight hours in the Tomcat behind Snort) tells us that no one really pulled that CB. Never let the truth get in the way of a good story!

Quid Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 First time I recall hearing about the bleed-air turn-off for extra thrust was Hoser discussing using it in a bugout. Referred to it as "Zone 6," (a play on the 5 zones of the TF-30's afterburner), and it was used by several crews during ACE/AIM under specific circumstances. Not sure how much you'd want to rely on it, but if HB is making it a simple keybind, that's a nice little addition.

As I understand #13 it's only active in certain conditions so bypass is not used during straight and level flight.

draconus Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 bugger :lol: ps if you get a compressor stall in a fight, how do you rectify it You'll be probably dead soon, so the engine is not your problem anymore, but usually what it takes is to ease off the throttle on this engine and decrease AoA.
