This line, which separates flight instruments, is on picture where is unrestored P-47D-30-RA, S/N 44-32691. Very early D-30 from Evansville. But the line is in white colour, not in yellow.

You did not made something wrong. Flames on that picture are result of over priming during engine startup. If you use handle pump of the primer pump according to book, 4 times on default map - 20°C, flames will be so small that they will be barely visible. More strokes, 7, 8 times ..., will cause bigger flames like on that picture. Only the Spitfire has this "possibility" to over prime with such result.

I do not have problem from front or from aft seat. If you are pilot, first ask for frequency and when is set by Jester, then ask for set radio mode - DF. But i have not tried it with human rio.

Yes it works. You must set proper frequency for VOR station or ILS and then set AN/ARC-182 to D/F mode. For ILS you must be in direction where localizer transmits, only VOR stations are omnidirectional. I did not any problem few days ago on Syria map, i was able to receive several stations.

Both additional fuel tanks (Aux and external) are connected to the rear fuel tank (through T-join connection), with something like "one-way valve" to prevent fuel from one additional tank to go to the second. Something like "flow limiter" is instaled in both feed lines from additional tanks, so perhaps there is no need to create enough space in the rear fuel tank for fuel from them. When fuel quantity gauge shows less than 240 liters in the rear fuel tank, than you know that your external or Aux tank is empty. That is what i remember...

The Auxiliary fuel tank is modeled, you must set additional fuel in the ME. When you have fuel in it, you will see when set draw fuel from rear fuel tank that needle showing fuel quantity of fuel inside rear (Hinten) fuel tank does not move for first 10 minutes of flight at full power, for lower power settings will it took longer. The needle moves nearly immediately when no fuel is in the Aux fuel tank. What is wrong with this is C/B for it. It does not matter if it is close or open position, fuel pump in the Aux fuel tank works always. I am sure it worked correctly in past, but...

I can confirm it for all three Luftwaffe planes.

I am afraid that EB85 position ON or OFF does not effect on this ignored bug. I did two attempts today, 1st i gave up after 45 minutes flight - no problem, and in 2nd engine died after 28 minutes. For the same reason like above... EDIT: one note - It does not matter if take off is "from runway" or cold "from ramp".

Track with failure is in the link ..

The last i had it, map Normandy, weather +15°C, 760 mmHg Take off from RWY, 3250 RPM without MW than reduced power to 2700 RPM and after 20 minutes with the same engine setting engine died (no throttle move). Few days before, map Caucacus, take off from ramp (cold) weather as above, take off 3250 without MW, reduced power to 3000 and engine died after 40 minutes with the same reason. During both flights i flew fast and tried measure speed every 1000m altitude, so no hard manoeuvring or something like it. Both are from the last DCS build.

No damage model for radial engines. It is the same for the P-47.

TACAN operates in the frequency band from 960-1215 MHz... 40,4 MHz does not seems to be usefull frequency for it. Something is not correct here.

I think she is OK in performance perspective. Shy flies as fast as she did in past before this bug. The reliability is another question. And i do not think it is about only Dora. The Mustang, at least, is suffering from it too. Sometimes i think that it is connected with weather setting. I mostly do not have trouble with weather default or standard atmosphere settings. (when i perform my tests, i usually fly until the fuel tanks are empty, so long flights) But i have experienced several times engine failure without any reason when i had maximal continuous setting (or lower), several minutes after take off. And it always happened on servers where some play was done with the air temperature and pressure. Unfortunately without careful testing, it is just (possible) theory...

It seems to be low, but it needs more tests during different conditions. Here are limits for oil temperatures.

12th kokutai operated with A6M2a in 1940 - 1941 over China mainland and cleaned sky from most of Chinese planes like I-16.. Lost two A6Ms,due to AAA.

It was reported in Russian part of this forum few weeks ago.

The fuel selector valve DOES NOT switch pressure power for the pushing out fuel from the external fuel tanks. It only switches particular tank`s supply lines to the "engine fuel system". (all external fuel tanks are connected with two pipes, one for draw fuel and one for pressure air and the selector valve switches only one, with fuel not with air) Pressure power for the pushing out fuel from the external fuel tanks has only one source, but three alongside outputs. So if one output is open (e.g. when one external tank is drop) all pressure goes out from this open (disconnected) output (the easiest way, of course) and then there is now no pressure power to push out fuel from the remaining external tank(s). If the external fuel tank is not carried, this line is close, so no lose pressure through it. It does not matter which exactly tank is dropped, wing or bely, one goes out, remaining loses pressure and becames useless, that is how it works, and worked IRL.

Akagi has been sunk in 1942 and he said that they wanted to aim at (somewhere) 1944. I would wait for real announcement ...

Forget about carb. temp. Just ignore it, it is something what you can not change and it have not influence on damage engine. There is no icing conditions in DCS W. Do you perform any oil dilute before you start engine? Oil at 4°C is too cold and after start, oil pressure will be too hight. Try it for 15-20sec. What is usualy your speed during that 20 mins before engine dies? What is your oil and coolant controls setting? And of course oil and coolant temperatures during that 20 mins?

This is not bug, it is feature. First, "Rheostat" has nothig to do with external fuel tanks, it is only power regulation for elecric-driven pumps in the main and auxiliary fuel tanks. Fuel from external fuel tanks is "powered" by pressured air from the vacuum system pump`s exhaust and all three are connected to the same source of pressure. So, if one is disconnect, by dropping one external fuel tank, whole system lost pressure and fuel can not be taken from remaining external fuel tank(s). External fuel tanks must be drop together when all are empty (or when any of them is no more needed).

"Rocket option" is only for D-40 and you must do it by yourself in ME, it is not prepared. Right mouse click inside 1 or 5 square opens rockets options.

Did you return rocket counter to first number (rocket)?

As is written in title. There is no any reason for such limitation.. D-30 Early D-30 "late" D-40

The Airspeed Indicator shows Indicated Airspeed IAS. The difference between IAS and TAS is roughly 3kph at 100m altitude and speed we are talking about. When i switch F2 info bar to IAS scale i see may be 2kph difference between F2 value and number which i read from the airspeed indicator. And the arspeed indicator does not have extremly accurate scale to say OK it is 542kph or 543kph.
