EPR

Aviatorhi says: "That's all good, but EPR measures the difference in pressures between the intake end and the core exhaust, not the fan exhaust."

Not always so, the RB211's use EPR gained from comparing the ratio between P1 (Inlet Pressure) to P Int (Integrated pressure of core exhaust and fan outlet pressure). This gives a true indication of thrust being delivered.
