Funny enough, Dottie Mae was fitted with a K-14 sight at the time of her crash in 45’. Note the two broken light bulbs instead of one needed for a mk 8 reflector sight.

Let me show Dottie Mae, the only airworthy 47D-28 in existence: Note the modded Ordinance switches. 3 for 3 hard-points, 2 for rockets. This is earlier than the D-30 keep in mind. Notice the bomb release button too. This is just absent on the D-30 Early? Here she is restored. D-28 had no bomb release except for the T-bar jettison handles, which implies only the D-28 forbode this feature, until a modification to standard was established. Don't believe that? Here's an earlier D-23 razorback. Courtesy of Air Corps in Bemidji, MN

Text just got deleted for no reason... D-28 and D-30 panels. Why do we have a D-30 early in game? It should just be a D-30 with a reflector sight. Also, no backup sight? No bomb release switches? This was from WIP, what happened?

P-47D’s boost control omits a MP regulator. P-47 does not have one at all. Only a turbo regulator but this is to release back pressure gases to avoid cracking or reverse loads on the turbo bearings. You can find evidence for this in any 47 manual, as they frequently mention inadvertent “overboost” due to inattention to manifold pressure, or pilot error. overboost consequences are actually generous according to DCS -you can go over redline for a while. In real life, manuals state even a few seconds will cause detonation and subsequent premature failure of the engine. If you want better understanding of this, I can look for the appropriate physical documentation in my possession.

Could be your FPS.

I second this, if you need a manual on the specific turbo I can provide that.

Hello everyone, The DCS P-47 is very well done. However, improvements to the module will always attract more consumers. So, there are some inaccuracies apparent in the DCS P-47D cockpit. My Background: I have been involved at the CAF for 7 years. Specifically, CAF SoCal Wing. Have spoken and worked with vets from WWII, Korea, and Vietnam and friend of during this period. We also have a private library with hundreds of technical manuals and documents. With this, I provide only precise information with my findings. For the DCS P-47, there are 4 features missing that I would like to bring forth. 1. The P-47D-30 with gyro sight features a dimmer knob and sight selector on the same unit. The same unit left of the DCS P-51D K-14 gyro sight as well. The DCS P-47D is missing this control unit on the right thigh panel. Picture: (4th photo) 2. Tail Warning Radar – same as DCS P-51D (Field mod). The light and bell are located left of the K-14 sight in the P-47D-40 (Only model with evidence). The control unit for the field mod is located behind the IFF destructor box. Picture on unit in cockpit: (2nd photo) Picture of unit for proof on P-47N manual: (3rd photo) 3. Rear View Mirror – in the form of: plexiglass on canopy, truck mirror reused on front canopy, dedicated mirror inside cockpit. Field mod. This was more favorable than the tail radar. Not every P-47 had this, but experienced pilots knew the mirror was important. -Picture of Variations are included: (1st, 6th, 7th) 4. Pilot Headrest – this should be factory. Pictures provided. Again, the module is very well done and it’s obvious the developers have created a warbird module never done as accurately and precisely as this depicted. However, improvement is always a beneficial virtue to seek and so I believe these additions will only make DCS stronger in WWII. Thank you all, Rob

What does he think about his conflict/plane in a sim like DCS?

Pitching for the first night-fighter for DCS. http://www.airvectors.net/avmoss_1.html information for reference. Maybe paid for multiple variants or a Mosquito on the ground can fit night-fighting equipment inside the cockpit. Two different radar stations, long-wave and short-band radar, and exhaust suppressors. Other than this, it is a typical Merlin 25 Mosquito. This will also give more possibilities for missions and multiplayer/multi-crew, as well as a new element of DCS: WWII not imagined. Thanks a lot guys, amazing work on this module, really set yourselves high, -Rob
