Super Hornet, Can’t exceed LVR 80%

Just test the new Super Hornet, but I can’t push the engines beyond 80%, it simply stops there.

Is there a special button that I have to press in the cockpit to be able to reach that supersonic speed?

: )

Yes there is indeed.
You need to search for the afterburner and map it to a button.

Afterburner shortcut

If you are on PC and don’t mind installing mods, the Super Warrior mod on flightsim.to has afterburner mapped to throttle, so no button required. It seems to work pretty well. Just be aware the current version (v2.1) has a rudimentary catapult launch system you need to be sure you disengage before trying to take off from a runway. I learned that after three failed take-off’s :slight_smile:

There’s also a community sourced fix for the broken fuel system in the default Hornet. That will improve your experience a lot if you use it. No more premature flame-out of the left engine when you’ve got plenty of fuel on board. Search the forum for that one, but it’s also on flightsim.to as of yesterday I think.
