Throttle/ru
Управление подачей топлива (англ. "throttle" - это настройка, определяющая требуемую тягу двигателя(-лей) активной ступени летательного аппарата. Управление подачей топлива может быть установлено в любое значение: от 0% (или "закрыто" (англ."closed"), подразумевающее, что двигатель неактивен) до 100% (или "открыто" (англ. "open"), подразумевающее, что двигатель выдает максимальный уровень своей тяги).
Индикатор управления подачей топлива расположен слева от НавБолла.
Управление
The throttle can be controlled with the ⇧ Left Shift and ^ Left Ctrl keys, which will respectively increase and decrease the throttle. When in Intra-Vehicular Activity view, the throttle lever in the cockpit can also be used by clicking and dragging it with the mouse. The X key will immediately cut the throttle (faster than holding down ^ Left Ctrl).
Non-physical time warp cannot be used while the throttle is not closed. Physical time warp may be used, but at the risk of destabilizing the ship due to the loss of calculation accuracy while accelerated.
Эффекты
Liquid engines are controlled directly by the throttle in the most simple way- the higher the throttle, the more thrust they produce and the more fuel they consume. Higher throttle settings also cause the engine to overheat, which can lead to explosions if not caught in time. Some engines, most notably the mainsail, cannot be run at 100% throttle for long periods at all.
Jet engines respond to the throttle, but just like real-life jets they exhibit throttle lag. The thrust they produce will adjust slower than the speed at which the throttle is moved and it will take extra time for them to change their power output to match its new position.
Solid rocket boosters do not respond to the throttle; once activated by staging they will instantly produce 100% of their thrust and run continuously until their fuel is exhausted.
