[AJE] Water Injection for Jet engines doesn't seem to work
bofhgr opened this issue · 2 comments
The Jet engines that seem to support a bimodal engine mode for water injection do not get to actually enable it. Either in the VAB or in-flight, the 'Engage Water Injection' button on the PAW and the related 'bimodal engine' configuration GUI, engaging the water injection system doesn't do anything.
Example engine: J75
..Unless I am missing out on how to do it properly, if it's already working for anyone, please give some explanation on what I'd have to do, thanks!
Does the config in question have water injection?
I guess this is where the confusion comes from. It seems that the UI does not care if water injection is actually supported from the engine, it will give you the option to 'enable water injection' and the related messages in the PAW and in the VAB and in-flight, regardless of whether the engine supports it or not. As long as there is a single engine config that supports water injection, all other engines in this category will also display those messages, even if they don't actually support it, leading to confusion.
I have tried with the J57, J75, J58 (NOS injection instead of water but same premise) - only a single engine configuration in each engine family supports water injection but all configurations display the 'activate water injection' button on the PAW and in the VAB and in-flight.
Perhaps the text description of the engine configuration should be changed so that it clearly states if the engine supports water injection on the configurations that do support it and clearly state if the configuration does not support water injection, so at least the players are aware and can safely ignore the button in the PAW.
