Afterburner engine acceleration problems

7,074 BeeEngineer  1.9 years ago

I have made many after burner engines on simpleplanes (here are my 2 best ones) and I can never get any of my planes to accelerate at a realistic speed... Please could someone tell me how fix this issue (these are the engines used on most of my fighter jet - I use the larger one most but they all use the VTOL engine in the middle)

    @BeeEngineer
    Just Google it.
    You need thrust force of the plane and you need to match the weight of the build to the real one.

    @GuyFolk Please could give me an example of these properties required for a 4th gen fighter?

    If you want to accelerate realistically you need physics.

    F = m*a
    a = F/m

    So not only you need to make the thrust force right (F), you'll need to make the aircraft weight right too (m) to get the acceleration right (a).

    @ACEVIPER9710 I like the idea - but I have tried it before - I mean if in a dog fight with full afterburner on and you blead off all of your speed you will regain it too fast to be realistic
