303_Kermit

Thanks , but I have flight manuals for P-47B/C/D/M... It's not an answer I'm looking for. It's not answering why plane behaves different during long flight than in short (~45min) flights. However... I have to check the 2-nd point in "Conditions to avoid" - Air Temp. 35°C. That may be a reason @Edit: That was it. Thank you for solution. My greatest respect for the devs, for "paranoid" level of Engine DM accuracy. I love you

1. I checked. I am aware that on high altitude even in straight flight it's almost impossible to control RPM - one has to first set RPM, then increase boost. 2. That would understandable reason - I may agree or disagree with FM/DM, but it sounds as logic reason - knowing it one can avoid it. My problem is not how to avoid prop. overspeed. My question is why plane behaves different during long flights. I do the same thing in short flights as I do during B-17 escort, the only difference is, that before raising power I fly a long time with low power setting.

Thank you - nice manual, but it's not the flight manual. It's just instruction for DCS Module, and yes I know chuck guide. Eather I'm not good in English as I think I am, or you desperately try not to understand me. The situation is: I fly 30-45min. Escort mission. Auto lean - 35 manifold - 25000-28000ft - 190-200°C Cyl Heads, 2300RPM. I see some contact, auto reach, BOOST 50, radiators, cowl flaps, intercooler :set. Temperatures are ok I check again in 15sec. and adjust. straight flight without dive If I use max RPM engine will die in dive. If I use 2300RPM-2600RPM (depend on turbo overspeed) engine works fine - most of the time. It is funny but I found out, that most breaks down appears when my fuel is down to about 200gal. It happens only by that amount of fuel (if you take off with 100%fuel). If I do the same by let's say 300gal. there is no problem. Engine breaks down only after long flight time with low power. I guess 99% here never tried to fly P-47 on long distance mission. The problem I described never happens if you take off with 70% fuel just to dogfight over "P-trap"

I left the link. There's much more what pilots did to these engine without blowing it up. Its reliable was legendary. 2300/50 isn't anything beyond flight manual. Engine delivers bit less power than by 2800RPM, nothing else. I would be glad to fly 2800/50, but it changes nothing accept engine blows up in dive. The document comes from the website of Historical Engines Association (US). There are also other documents there. Like R-2800 (exploitation) bulletin, and much more. I see nothing similar to DCS in them.

Good for you. You helped.

Cyl. heads 190°C - thanks for mentioning. All you wrote, sounds logic, but only at first glance How do you explain, that I can fly from T-O till landing with full throttle (main and boost) forward on, manifold 52-54, RPM 2300-2500 until I burn whole the fuel in main and auxiliary? Problem appears only when I try to fly "by the book". Only when I try to save some fuel, by using "auto lean", lower rpm and manifold. Like during long escort mission, with auxiliary tanks. Using more power only if really needed. If I fly like an Idiot, full throttle whole the time, P-47 works just fine. Here are more information about R-2800 like the one: "Just prior to World War II, Frank Walker was responsible for the development of anti-detonation injection (ADI) for the R-2800. ADI forces a water-alcohol mix into the induction system to cool the supercharged fuel-air mixture, thereby allowing a much higher manifold pressures and power outputs. Using ADI, Walker was able to coax 3800 HP from an experimental “C” engine at manifold pressures up to 150 in Hg!1 This is nearly twice the power the engine was designed to produce. In addition to its reputation for ruggedness in aircraft like the P-47, the R-2800 developed a reputation for reliability in airline service after World War II. It had a recommended time between overhauls of 2000 hours on twin-engine aircraft, and 3000 hours on 4-engine aircraft." Source: 1. Frank Walker, interview by author (Huntsville, AL, March 29, 1999) 2.R-2800 Engine Reliability, internal memorandum to Pratt & Whitney Field Service Personnel (December 21, 1967) More you may find in these documentation: http://www.enginehistory.org/NoShortDays/Development of the R-2800 Crankshaft.pdf The more I read about Double Wasp the less I find common sence in DCS R-2800 damage model. There is a lot about vibrations (Linear and Torsional X1, X1,5, X2, X3,5...) and struggle during development to overcome it. But main rod bearing lubrication, doesn't look like any serious problem in case of Double Wasp.

You may change position of every switch during pause. It won't move, but right after you turn off pause they'll jump into desired position.

Never happened. Even if you try from 35000ft

Dear Sirs! I have a problem, and I can't find solution or reason for it. It happened 2-nd time in 2 days. What am I doing wrong? P-47D30 Early Straight flight / gentle climb, without dive.

I went into history of these user. He's here just to provoke and troll everyone. He's doing nothing else

It was Ju-88. Now it's in 1440p visible. My dream is P-47B + Spitfire MkV / LF MkV CW + Bf-109F2 + FW-190 A2/A4 + Hawker Typhoon MkI + P40B/C + B-17E (or B-25 or B-26 or ...) and P-38 ... just anyone. (Flyable of course) ... God I made such an off topic. Sorry

-F-16C literally I bought it only to support DCS / ED. Gen +4 isn't interesting for me at all: F16 I (eventually) would like to fly is F-16A & F-16C bl.25/30 with AiM-7 missiles. I never sit inside a cockpit. F-16CM bl.50 is for me attractive like chlamydia. Lack of any serious PvP opponent accept other F-16 makes it "no go" for me. -F-18C same as above - I would rather fly F-18A -F-14 I will fly it and I will enjoy, but ... after 5000 hours in Phantom II I spend my time in L-39 (Mainly C variant for IFR /VFR flights, also as main plane in Virtual Fighter School) P-47, Bf-109, MiG-15, MiG-19, MiG-21, F-5E and F-86F is my next goal. Actually I started P-47 campaign ... just for immersion while jumping on F-86F I flew also some FC3 planes. As everybody My best regards

So far 2 vs 200 :-) I'm just joking. EF2000 is a nice 2 have. I'll buy it myself. I'm just crazy about 60' and 70'. It's the time of last air war. Vietnam, Israel-Syria-Egipt conflicts. A-7, F-100, F-104, F-105, F-4, Mirage III, A-4C/E. I like them because '70 is the end of Maneuver Air Combat. In '80 missiles are already too effective. Most combats are finished before both planes cross each other paths. It's still Air Combat but.. it's not that I killed an enemy. My missile did. "I can't get no satisfaction" Sorry for off-topic My best regards

Who cares about Eurofighter ? lol Phantom!!!!!

It's another post in these subject... I suppose every 10th guy who starts fly MiG-15 thinks that playing video-games makes him auto-cannon expert. And produces such post. Even Photos are similar.

Hallo Thank you very much for a Thunderbolt. It's great place to be. I love her to fly and dogfight. From first minute to the last. I watched every available movie regarding P-47. Most questions I have were born under impression of what I saw in there: Here are some questions. Film one: https://youtu.be/FcGoc7P1MnA 1. movie time 17:24. "Turbine overspeed light" - works different then the one in DCS. it has three positions: -off-blinking-on 2.movie time 19:46 "Cowl flaps control" - works inspite engine being turned off. There is possibility , that pilot operates hydraulic manual lever. In that case response in film is much faster than in DCS. Film two: https://youtu.be/P_eEu8VDN-U?t=600 1. movie time 21:00 - "Cowl flaps control" time response of Cowl flaps 2. movie time 21:22 - rudder effectiveness: while taxiing rudder allows to steer the plane even by extreme low speeds without using a brakes, without reeving an engine. With my best regards to Thunderbolt Dev team.

For some of the more impatient guys: God ... someday it's all came to DCS, and I'll be there to fly USN Phantom II https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGhTuz5axs0

I also do think so. It's ok. It's christmass. Heatblur did great job these year, thank you guys for that. Next year I'll start asking about Phantom again. Personally, I check ED forum everyday with hope I hear something. I watched every movie about Phantom II in YT, I ordered and red most books available. For now i suggest... jump to planes. Time passes by much faster once you're in the air. Merry Christmas Everyone

Technically the word "compromise" means, that both negotiating sides doesn't reach their goal. In wiki (eng.) "To compromise is to make a deal between different parties where each party gives up part of their demand." In our situation we have two sides: -For us the goal is : "to have most realistic module". -For you a goal is: "to have carrier capable F-4E" So compromise (according to definition) isn't carrier capable F-4E. Compromise is when F-4E became for example a hydroplane. It's not satisfying any of us, but it's a compromise. Either you don't understand the meaning a word "compromise", or you do understand, but you try to manipulate us. In first case you're just silly, in second you're offensive. The choice is yours. You may call a friend or ask public.

Agree. God save the Heatblur

How are you going to visually spot a target if you can't see a post? It's cleared in these post from kind 3-rd party dev. It's not a 4 lines of code if it shall work properly. There's also plenty "soft core" flight sims and they are more kids friendly. Don't mess with The Phantom Some of us don't want another MiG-21 - strange combination of "bis" (in LOBUS variant) armed with RS-2US missiles. Most of us wait for pure Phantom. You want a US Navy? It comes soon as you may read here. Wait , buy , enjoy.

It's not a War thunder!

I'd rather wait for proper B or J Don't like the idea
