Ratings:
SFX - 10/10
WOW. It greatly captures the sound I was expecting. The engine sounded like it was struggling to put out more thrust as it picked up more speed, and I LOVE it. Maybe a bit too loud, but who cares? It's an afterburner.
On the topic of dry throttle, sound was great too. Disengaging the afterburner also had the sound fade out, which is definitely some realism there.
VFX - 8/10
I liked the flame. Like, seriously. What I do have against this is that the flame transitioned from pinkish to blue as the flame goes out further, which means it just gets hotter. Didn't quite make a lot of sense to me, but it's cool nonetheless.
Fuel Consumption - 9/10
It kind of has 'bad' fuel consumption rate on dry throttle, but not that much tbh. And like a real afterburner, it has worse consumption rate when engaged.
Also, I liked the speed boost your afterburner gave. Makes all that fuel consumption really worth the speed.
Overall Conclusion:
Insanely fast afterburning turbojet, realistic fuel consumption, and realistically loud as fuck. 27/30
Footnote:
Surprisingly, the aircraft itself flies good. Decent climb rate, decent turning and roll rate, and really stable with the vanilla autopilot. Also fast on dry throttle.
