They control selective jettison of weapons. Of course, if we had weapons...



--- Quote ---2.   How does one engage or disengage the afterburners?

They are directly linked to the throttle, and FSX Acceleration has added support for multi-stage afterburners. Before Acceleration, it was impossible to fully model afterburners, because the A/B was an on/off proposition in the flight model. Now, the afterburner smoothly progress through its 6 stages, starting when the throttle is about 90% of its run. The afterburner engages when RPM it's more than 100%
