The engine ratings in DCS K-4 manual is not correct. It is not for the DB605D engine. The DB605D has power settings special emergency 2800RPM / 1,8ATA with MW (10 minutes limit) take-off / combat power 2600RPM / 1,45ATA (30 minutes limit? ) max. continuous 2400RPM / 1,35ATA (unlimited) If you are on server where the K-4 is without MW, means that MW tank is set empty (or fuel is there instead of water-methanol) in mission editor and you can not use it even system itself is always instaled. Your maximal power setting is 1,45ATA in that case. If you try go above, the engine will die very quickly. some inormation is in this topic

Considering the Type 22 radars on the main mast, she represents second half of 1944 year.

The weapon manual for the La-7 speaks about only 2 bombs, from 8kg to 100kg each.

As title says. Player can not even choose tower frequency when is at base after spawn.

1.9ATA / 3250RPM does not seem to be correct for power with methanol. It should be 1.8ATA at low gear.

The "increased take-off power" is name for 1,7ATA (1900hp) engine power setting in German documents - Erhöte Notleistug. Power with MW is "special emergency power" - Sonder Notleistug or Sonder Notleistug mit Methanol. In the end, the 3 min limit isn't just error in dcs manual, as often.

This is from R-R Merlin manual.

They move correct way.

Am just asking. pressure regulator? automatic pressure regulator? Is anywhere used word "automatic" in conection with boost control in documentation for the P-47? (like in manual for the P-51, for example)

It is normal and it is OK. Green zone does not mean nominal range.

My password has suddenly expired too. I had to change it. No idea what has happened.

It looks like Su-22M4 "early". We had several of them. They were without system for TV-guided weapons. here is one Russian

Low RPM did not work for all external tanks, belly and wings. Fuel from external tanks is forced by pressured air and source for that air is the vacuum pump, its exhaust. The vacuum pump just does not produce enough air pressure at low RPM. I do not know if it is somewhere written exactly in the P-47 documendation, but i think it was in one manual for the P-51 which use the same system. We had here the same debate about the P-51 external tanks years ago.

Did you use that belly tank on ground at lower engine power? In that case, you did have insufficient air pressure to get fuel from external tank. To get enought air pressure you need some RPM above idle.

Could be set "auto rudder" or "take-off assistance" in special menu.

Here are two pictures showing "swirl throttle" from handbuch. These "flaps - Leitschaufel" control air volume passing through supercharger. And youtube video where Calum Douglas explains basic about "swirl throttle"

You can't enable it. It is not possible to activate something what does not exist. It is only mistake in DCS manual.

Yes, the feathering requires elecricity. Each propeller has independent feathering pump driven by electrical motor which is supplied from batery (generator).

It is because P-47D's engine isn't equiped with any kind of manifold pressure regulator (boost control).

Yes, but without CFTs. Plane is slower with them. With them airspeed limit is 700 Knots CAS, somewhere around M2 at your altitude (800 without CFTs). It does not mean that you can not reach higher airpeed, i know. I was able to reach 2.23M at 45k altitude, standard atmosphere and with clean plane. Speed limit for 45k feet is even lower than 700 Knots CAS, i was quite out of envelope..

The F-14 as a NAVY aircraft does not have capability to cooperate with ILS system. The ICLS system which the F-14 has is quite different and it is not compatible with standard ILS system. It is possible to use ILS localizer as a simple NDB beacon.

It is most likely bug. Several strokes were required in past for engine start. The descripion of the DB 605A engine run-up mentions engine prime as a one step in engine preparation for start. (this is copied in DCS manual) Unfortunately manual for plane with DB 605D, wich we have, is not available, but there is no single evidence of any change in engine run-up procedure. At least so far.

The Anton with 1,42 ATA engine wasn't capable to reach 600kph. Speed around 550kph at sea levet is correct for it. DCS clean Anton with closed coolant flaps reaches slightly above 540kph, it is not so bad. The Anton with bomb rack and open coolant flaps will lose around 30kph from maximal speed, 10+kph for each.

I do not know if it is work online, probably yes. but only IF: 1st It is modern map Caucasus, Marianas or Syria ... No WWII map has any airport with ILS system (which make sense). 2nd mission creator must preset frequency for one airport's ILS system in correct format e.g. Akrotiri on Syria has ILS with frequency 109,70MHz and to receive signal from this ILS, "AFN-2 Base Frequency" must be changed in the ME from default (38) to 109,7. And then it will work, but only for this airport.
