[F]My afterburner isn't working right

I’m only getting about 60-80% of the speed boost promised to me on my ship info sheet.  I can’t figure out why.  All my ships have the same problem, and it’s for the whole match.  For example my Hawk-Eye should go 475 m/s, but the fastest I can go is 430 or so.

If you are strafing at all, like doing anything other than holding W, you lose speed. Maybe you are holding something else down or a key is stuck?

I notice my speed decreasing to ~360m/s while strafing.  This had gone on for several days, and though a few computer reboots so I doubt it’s a stuck key.  The most odd thing is if I do a solo practice game I get the full 475 m/s my Hawk-Eye should do.  Every other game mode slows me down.  Also my non afterburner speed is working fine.

same here, it seems ingame afterburner speeds are ~1/8 lower than what’s posted in the info sheet, even when purely going in a straight line

Can you check if you have turned on after burner reactivation in the options?

Strafing lowers your forward speed due to straferun fixing. Remember vectoral addition rule(sum^2=w^2+a^2+space^2). In the past we had benefits from straferuns, but it was fixed. Pro pilots were flying kinda strange but with much greater speeds :wink:

I cleared that check box, and now I’m getting full speed.  I can’t see that as intended.  Bug?

Sry if it’s dumb question , but what’s that Option Doing when it’s activated ? Right now i’m Not at my PC to Check it Out ;(

It prevents you afterburner from running after your energy runs dry.  It forces you to release the button and press it again.  Clearly it also reduces your speed so I wouldn’t use it, and it should be removed from the menu until fixed.
