Critical altitude for 1,42ATA is roughly at 6650 m, for horizontal flight. It is in DCS. Data from real test shows similar result (actualy slightly below). During climb critical altitude will be much lower, will depend on actual speed.

The P-51Ds from 3rd ACG somewhere in PTO

Well, the 4,5" Aircraf Rocket Technical Manual is clear in this case. If aircaft manual is not enough for some "experts" ...

As title says, see pictures below.

The gross weight can be as high as 12300 pounds when external armament and fuel are carried. (from post war manual)

As title says, apply to both models, -25 and -30 and to AI or controled by player. see pictures

Pilot`s flight operating instruction for army models P-47D-25, - ... AN 01-65BC-1A and Pilot training manual for the Tunderbolt ... AAF manual No.50-5 Both are not very clear, but in both is written that the booster pumps are switched On automatically by rotary switch mounted on the selector valve control shaft. And the rheostat contrlos their speed, nothing about On/Off steps. The most clear is the old one, Pilot`s flight operating instruction P-47B,C,D and G Airplanes, ... AN 01-65BC where is this Well, 17 PSI is max value for R-2800-21, and it is not our case, my mystake. The last note, one Youtube video P-47 Thunderbolt Wicked Wabbit helmet cam is useful too.

Now the booster pumps inside the main and the auxiliary fuel tanks are switched this way in DCSW. Switch On el. power. Or connect external GPU. Turn the fuel selector valve to desired fuel tank and turn slightly clockwise the booster pump emergency rheostat from fully counterclockwise position. To switch On booster pump requires to turn the booster pump emergency rheostat roughly 5 pct from its range. When is booster pump On, the lowest fuel pressure is from 5 to 7 PSI, depends on the fuel tank and power source, battery or external. The maximal fuel pressure is above 30 PSI with the booster pump emergency rheostat in full clockwise position. This procedure does not seem to be correct. One manual for the P-47 is quite clear in this, the booster pump emergency rheostat does not have Off position. So, when is the booster pump emergency rheostat in full counterclockwise position (Off in DCSW), the booster pump must be running on idle and fuel pressure should be 7 PSI (according to the manual for the P-47). The description of this is not perfect in any manuals unfortunately. But it seems that available range of fuel pressure provided by booster pumps was from 7 to 17 PSI. Max. pressure 30+ PSI like is now in DCSW seems to be too much. How it works in DCSW now is visible in track which is included. the booster pumps.trk

As title says. The tree obstructs landing pathern from south.

Definitely i agree with that. That is why i put it into "Wishlis" instead of the Bug section. Here is scheme Y-control (E-messung)

I did not write about ZVG which is simlpy ADF, i know how it worked, that was another option. Yes it was about Y-Control (E-Messung or homing), because it was reason why the FuG16ZY did not have aviable all 4 channels. I this case signal from ground was sent to plane and immediately was re-transmitted by plane`s FuG 16ZY on frequency -1,9MHz from received signal back to ground. And this re-transmited signal was then evaluated on ground by two devices, one for distance and second for azimuth. That is way the FuG 16 with homing did not have all 4 channels.

The Fug 16 ZY with homing ability had only 3 channels, as it is visible on two pictures below. But it required huge infrastructue on ground, which is not close or even far behind us in DCS W. (btw. none FuG 16 acts corretly in DCS W now) But there is possibility to have the FuG 16ZY without homing, but with all 4 channels working, as is visible on picture below.

I am sorry, but something went wrong during writting and i can not edit/repair it any more... Please, can any moderator delete this topic. Thank you!

You missed fact that the Detrola and the Homing device, AN/ARA-8, were totally different "systems"... The Detrola receiver was used for receiving signal from A-N beacons, which determined "skyways" across America. These beacons were only located throughout the United States, Canada and Alaska. But the Homing device gave to pilots U,D or continuous signal depending on plane heading to beacon. These signals were generated by Modulator Keying Unit according to phase shift between received RF signals by two antenna masts. The beacon could be any VHF trasmitter on frequency 120-140 MHz, which is quite out of the Detrola frequency range... The last note, the Homing device has only the P-51D-30 in DCS W, and not the P-47. You refer to the P-47N manual, we do not have N model in DCS W.

Yes, it seems to modeled incorrectly for DCS P-47. Video in link below shows engine start, after cold propeller rotation (2:20), pilot switch something ON (i am pretty sure that it is fuel selector valve switched to MAIN, but it is not visible) low next to his left leg and noise like from electric pump starts and fuel pressure indicator needle rises from zero value. After the engine started, the fuel pressure indicator needle rises again to operating range. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppqOMtQtqno

If you think that the Rheostat "Start and Altitude" position means Off. but, i don`t think so...

No, it is exactly the same like in the P-51. When the selector control valve is in position for any fuel tank (main or auxiliary), the booster pump in that fuel tank is automatically switch ON by rotary switch mounted on the selector valve control shaft...

An electric-driven booster pump is mounted in each fuel tank in the P-47... Only difference between the P-47 and the P-51 is that the booster pumps in the P-47 are variable-speed pumps and pilot could set pump speed via the Fuel Booster Pump Rheostat placed on the Main switch box.

D/F homing part incorporated into FuG16 was not very short range. Signal strength needle, "distance measure", shoul be able to show several tens of kilometers range and not less than 2 kilometers like in DCS W now. The bacon power output set in ME does not have any effect on shown value on AFN2, which should have! I tried default 10W, then 50W, 100W and 1000W output power and in all cases AFN2 shows the same. D/F homing part should work only when the Communications-Homing switch is in homing position (down), on AD18Ya control box. Unfortunately, when i set beacon`s frequency as a AFN2 Base Frequency in ME in DCS W, it measures distance always. That is not possible IRL, because if Communications-Homing switch is not in homing position the power supply for AFN2 and ZVG16 is OFF! (ZVG16 processes received signal for AFN2) Moreover, when i have selected homing for the FuG16 a can hear what the beacon transmmits even the FuG16 has no one chanel set at the beacon`s frequency... That is IRL impossible again. There is more wrong things about FuG16 in DCS, hopefully one day ED bring to us proper WWII radio-navigation. Some of these unfortunate bugs are in track i made. https://youtu.be/5G2VgHBlnXk

I am afraid that AFN2 does not work as intended. And i am disregarding quite different frequency bands.. It schould work this way, according to manual: Unfortunately it works this way, like "modern" ILS receiver...

Some additional info. The engine will run up to 78% RPM with oil coolant flap close until there is fuel. I tried 75%, 77% and 78% RPM and i gave up it after 60+ minutes. I had no problem. But with RPM 79%, the engine died after approximately 30 minutes after oil temperature reached max. value. With 80%, the engine died after approximately 20 minutes after oil temperature reached max. value. All results i achieved repeatedly, plane was sitting on ground with manual engine start, map and wether condition as above.
