Smooth/realistic afterburner effect. (VTOL nozzle)

2,447 MTFUE11  10 days ago

Until now for my builds an dmany other users used for the afterburner the command throttle>0.96 for the engine input. That results in an instant flame, wich if you know anything about afterburner isn't real. To achieve a good and smooth gradual flaming up I'd suggest using the command...
smooth(Throttle>0.96, x)
Where "x" is a value between 1(normal velocity) to 0.5(wich I think is ideal for realism). Hope that helps.

    It’s the opposite, really.

    I’ve teased many projects now sitting idle and unfinished.

    @Graingy Sounds like a load of work to me, get a break once in a while. It helps, trust me.

    I started work on something yesterday as practice for general form factor.
    Ended up learning a fuselage shaping technique.
    Then started adding custom landing gear.
    Probably going to end up with a cockpit and maybe afterburners.
    All this knowing I'm gonna have to outdo it with the much older, still unreleased Archfiend.

    Funny, I've been looking into afterburners this afternoon.
