DCS P-47 WIP picture https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/screenshots/572/ It looks like propeller on foto bellow (at least to me), Curtiss-Electric 13'0" (some sources claim 13'1'') paddle blade symmetrical propeler. You asked for this, this one was used up to D-16 model. EDIT: my fault correct is "up to D-21 model!!!" CE paddle blade assymetrical, used on D-30 too, 12'0 are visible behind.

According to released screenshots, propeller is Curtiss-Electric 13'1'' paddle blade. That is correct for D-30 model.

one burned Hellcat and one oiled

You have to create bomber's payload in mission editor first.

this one is burned from inside

OPTIONS / SPECIAL / DCS SRS - "Show DCS Overlay by default" It is what are you looking for.

Micro-switches are inside Fuel Selector Valve and they swich On/Off booster pumps. When external fuel tank is selected, no one booster pump is running. Only booster pump in selected fuel tank, L/R wing or fuselage, runs.

It seems that both methods are correct... This start-up procedure is from "Rolls Royce Merlin Maintaince Manual_Ser-66, 67,70,71,76,77, 85", October 44. and here is another video showing the opposite :)

It is because this particular mission requires WWII Assets pack.. You have two ways how to solve it. to buy WWII Assets pack or open mission in Mission Editor and delete all units from Assets pack and save it.

No.. The F-8 W.Nr. 733705 (V73) was tested with six launching rails for Panzerblitz 1 (Pb1) between September and October 44, followed tests at Tarnewitz and EKdo 26. III./SG 4 flew 1st combat sortie with Pb1 7 December 44 and use them during The Battle of the Bulge... During Spring 45 these unit had Fw 190F8/9 with Pb 1: 3 and 6./SG 1 9./SG 2 6./SG 3 7, 8 and 9./SG 4 1, 3 and 13./SG 9 9./SG 77 13./SG 151 How the pilots should provide the most effective attack: "...The pilots were therefore instructed to attack up and down wind as far as possible in a 20 degree dive..." Speed loss were 15 km/h with only racks 30 km/h with racks and missiles Due to the lack of armour penetration (90 mm) development of the Panzerblitz 2 (Pb 2) started, but not finished before war end. (only small number was tested on an F-9). Pb 3 should be further step, but again not operation ready befor war end.

No, A-8 did not use R4M, only Wgr.21. But incoming F-8 could carry A/G rockets, Panzerschreck and Panzerblitz (which was R4M with Armor-piercing warhead).

Does not it mean that they wanted to permit use C-3 fuel injection for second suercharger gear (Hohenlader) for F/G-8 variant? C-3 fuel injection was cleared only for first gear* (Bodenlader) and was limited to 1000m altitude due to low supercharger power not because another reason, see performance data charts. * according to known documents, we know it or we think we know it :)

Increased boos was not attained by "boost regulator readjustment". The boost regulator was untouched. The increased power was gained by the portion of the boost air was drawn off from the supercharger pressure line. It caused pressure air drop in the boost regulator. (in a simplified way)

No, 3250 rpm without MW is for Jumo 213 regular combat setting.

No.1 is magnetic compass sensor.

@Tiger4-2, you mean "compass error". I think, cosidering that this number is mainly unique for every plane, you dig too deep. :)

The P-51 does not use radio compass... (here in DCS or in ETO during WWII) The DCS P-51D does not have such equipment... In DCS W, gyro compass shows azimuth related to True North and magnetic compass shows azimuth related to Magnetic North. Magnetic Deviation on Normandy map is nearly 8°, and you will see that variation between them is nearly 8°...

P1Y Ginga was "inspired" by JU-88.

You have to go to DCS OpenBeta. You have now DCS Stable.

Allied IFF systems first used ground radar frequency as a trigrer for answer. Plane was equipped with receiver which receided radar signal and then re-transmits this signal back. It just increased echo on radar screen. These IFF were Mark I and Mark II, btw. MK.II operated on SRC 268 and 270 radars frequency range (probably more). Because of increased frequency range used by ground radars (but not only) Mark III was developed. The IFF transmitter (interogater) was separed from radar hardware and frequency. The IFF transmitter generated and sent signal through own antenna and plane transponder automatically transmitted replay. Both systems were totaly separated from plane communication radio. More IFF systems were in development or developed, but these above were used mainly. MK.III is for P-51D, P-47D and Spitfirre Mk.IX era.

Fuse time setting (delay). Do not remember specific timing. :book:

Unfortunatrly not... It is due to ground/watter surface quality.

Hi, we tested it today and it does not work as intended. It should work as you posted: when channel "I" is selected - the transmitter is tuned to channel "I" frequency and the receiver is tuned to channel "II" frequency. Unfortunetely in DCS Fw 190A when Chanel "I" is selected, both the transmitter and the receiver are tuned to chanel "II" frequency and your radio transmits on the same frequency as it receives. That is not correct. It jus copy radio frequency from channel "II" to channel "I". And it is not correct. Tested between planes and between plane and ATC with another planes were listening, the result was the same. Simply FuG-16 has the receiver with "memory" for only 3 pre-tuned frequencies, but the transmitter had 4. Unfortunately no, it is not so easy.

Am sorry, i have no knowledge of LUA. If you take FuG-16 with AFN-2 as a modern localizer receiver, which is not. Here is description from Fu IB 2 manual, a device needed to coop with Lorenz landing system. Here is Lorenz landing system, generaly similar to modern (and Allied WWII) but in principle different.

Unfortunately it works somehow, even is shouldn't. In ME just set ILS freq. in to "AFN2 Base Frequency" and you will see your azimuth information, left or right, from a localizer beam (works for all three planes). You mast be close from base and not too far from beam. It is shown by vertical needle with some delay and instability. Horizontal needle should show (IRL) signal strength - distance from beacon. It shows something, but i never realized what exacly here...? Selected radio chanel has no impact on it. I tried it only on Caucasus map, not on NTTR or PG and not all ILS systems at all bases. K-4 and A-8 moreover show flying above marker, white light in the middle AFN-2. No setting is required, all markers have the same frequency. It is not shown in D-9. It is bug all of it, except D-9 inability to read markers. To cooperate with German WWII ILS system, fighter needed aditional device cooperating with FuG-16. Simple AFN-2 what we have only showed azimuth and distance from beacon (something like NDB +DME) IRL. This German radionavigation worked with different frequency range from modern systems, all of them. And modern ILS system works with DDM, German Lorenz was in principle A-N system. Markers frequency is again different, modern 75MHz, WWII German 38MHz... There in DCS W, even DCS WWII, is no one WWII radio device, Allied or Axis. So any WWII radio navigation aid in WWII planes shouldn't work. first picture, am right from axis second, am left from axis
