This would be an ED issue. We don't have the ability to change spawn points on their carriers.

Yes

The tests that the FAA performed, found that the rollrate is negligible compared to the standard US wing rollrate.

Hi, the team will look into it when time allows.

Why do you @ me on this issue?

What engine does the present day F4U-1D use? (the one you flew) Most restored F4Us do not use the -8W. what octane/fuel grade was it using? Edit in: did have all six .50 cals too?

I used model viewer to turn the light on without the switch.

Hmmm, I'll let the programmers know. It is setup, probably programmed wrong

Where did I say "its a less important thing"? The programmers can't do two things at once. Especially since the engine modeling and WEP are very laborious. The list is simply a "note" that we are aware of problems. Not the status of when the problem will be fixed, sorry.

It's not a priority list.

Not in this case. Every data card I have seen on the sidewall were all the same in style (not data). From the birdcage to late FG-1Ds. I can't even find DECALCOMANIAS schematic for that particular item either.

Use this chart.

Ok, first off, the game manual is early access too. I'm currently updating it, and will have all corrected numbers once I get the final numbers from the programmers Secondly, use the manuals dated 1 December 1952 or 1 June 1946. Finally, I was told to change the wall placard values to these:

Who said they won't?

Yes , but the airframes used in tests, sometimes pylons were removed, indicating "clean." No, use the one dated 1 December 1952 or 1 June 1946. Pay attention to the revised pages. Sometimes the new pages are in front of the PDF, instead of actually replacing the pages. Changes are noted by "delete" or thick black lines down the margins of changed paragraph sections.

Good question, because, even we at Mag3 have difficulty. The AI doesn't seem to have any issues, since they use the connectors as reference.

Not yet, the team is evaluating the documents they have, and carefully looking whether or not "clean" means with or without pylons.

Well if the AN/ARR-2 antenna can reduce speed by 1 knot, imagine what two large pylons can do.

Yea, the sucky manual is being updated. It does say Early Access evaluation for a reason.

Sorry, I derped out on KD227. It is a Mk.IV, but only because it was built by Good Year. It's still a -1A. KD227 build 14658 I'll strike my post out. Though, of all the F4U-1 tests on that sight, they are all either -1s or -1As. Not a single -1D. Now there is a 'Detailed Specification' document that was revised for the -1D. It states in Paragraph 113a, that the listed data is estimated. Under the same paragraph, Note 2 states the data is based off of rated engine powers in Paragraph 503.a...551.b for some propeller specs. But those documents are missing. That report is missing a lot of pages. The data used could have possibly been from a -1A, but won't know until the full report is available. Edit In, if F4U-1D tests are ever found. "Clean" should indicate no pylons attached. Otherwise, the tests should specify the conditions in detail.

The Mk.IV test dated December 1944, is probably the best document to use as it's the closest to a F4U-1D test that can be found. https://www.wwiiaircraftperformance.org/f4u/kd227.pdf

Stop going to 5200-RPM. 2700 should be Max. Yes it's a bug as I've already told you in another thread. The engine took damage from that and most likely caused the engine driven fuel pump to fail. You're auxiliary fuel pump is off. With a damaged pump, you had no fuel going to the engine which would have caused it too stop. As for the shaking, it's most likely the cause of going to 5200-RPM and drastically dropping the engine speed to 2550.

Hi, Please provide a track file, dcs.log.

I understand how trim works and the effects of the pressures around aircraft control surfaces. For the F4U, I simply stated and correcting how the trim tabs operate in relation to the control surfaces. With no lift, adjusting trim will not mechanically cause the control surfaces/flight stick to adjust also. This aircraft just isn't designed that way. As pointed out by @Vladinsky, in the game they are moving. I replied that it's a bug by the programmers, and it'll be rectified. Example of the elevator trim tab linkage below. The screw and sprocket is the trim control. The screw itself is fed inside through the torque tube to the bell-crank with no contact except for some ball bearing ring at the sprocket plate. A chain/cable system is attached to the sprocket threaded to the trim control knob. This keeps the elevator neutral regardless of the trim setting. Now if there is pressure on the control surfaces while the trim is adjusted, yes the control surfaces will deflect along with the flight stick. If this isn't happening in-game, we'll fix it.
