For some passages in the included manual the wrong sources were probably used, nevertheless the included manual also describes the instrument with oil temperature, oil pressure and fuel pressure. There is also a corresponding error in the cockpit. The plate with the engine limits (left wall) shows the data for the -8 instead of the -8W.

If we have a F4U-1D, than we must have the -8W. All -1D's came with water injection.

The F4U-1D has no carburetor air temperature gauge. Only a warning light.

In P-47 it is 3050 RPM, if I am not mistaken. I would be surprised if it were higher in the F4U, especially as you could only achieve that in the F4U in a dive (if at all), as you can't physically set more than 2700 RPM.

The biggest difference is the 4.5 MP difference @WEP (which is not really much). The rest is very close. In fact, the continuous power of the P-47 with 42 MP is even lower than that of the F4U with 44 MP. Therefore, it is simply not correct to say that the MP of the P-47 is significantly higher. Why is it so? It is not the same engine. This means different specifications and different limits.

No, if you take the P-47 as a reference, you will see that the numbers are quite similar. In addition, it is not absolutely the same engine.

3700 rpm or even higher are guaranteed to be a bug. The engine would probably not last 5 seconds (if at all).

I don't know, but I would assume that this is due to the use of different sources for the aircraft itself and the manual. The plate with the engine limits on the left also shows the wrong values, namely those for the engine without water injection, although we have the "D" variant, which has water injection.

You misunderstood me. I know how and where you can set the fuzes (CBU-87), but you cannot specify in the airplane which of the two fuzes should be used. It makes a difference whether I want to use a time or altitude fuze. As long as the weapon is attached to the aircraft, it's Heatblur's job. And since the CBU-52 has no fuze settings, it would not be an issue with this weapon, but unfortunately the CBU-52 is not yet integrated into the bombing table.

The CBU-87 has a time-controlled and a height-controlled fuse. But how do I tell the bomb which fuse to use? Since that doesn't seem to work at the moment, I wanted to use CBU-52, which has no fuse settings at all, but unfortunately this weapon is completely missing from the bombing table (I hope this will be added at some point). So what is the best way to use one or the other?

It will be available with the next update Great and many thanks for the quick reply!

I came across this feature in the manual, more or less by accident. However, it doesn't seem to be implemented (yet). Or am I missing something?

You use the oil and intercooler flaps as required... It's not a big science.

Nevertheless, it is probably implemented incorrectly and a correction would of course be nice.

So far, it has not been necessary for me to open the oil cooler flaps at all (regardless of which engine settings were used), which is no wonder, as the oil temperature dynamics are still WIP.

Since apparently hardly anyone reads manuals, here is a very short excerpt:

But he writes that his engine stops as soon as he moves the mixture lever. Not after a few seconds...

Wags will do videos on YouTube as with all other modules.

I can't confirm that. I hold the starter and as soon as the engine starts, I increase the mixture and then release the starter. So the starter and Auto Rich run simultaneously for a short time and my engine still starts.

Mixture: Lever aft-> Cut Off Lever middle position -> Auto Lean Lever forward position -> Auto Rich It sounds to me as if you have swapped the Mixture positions. Make sure you start in the cut off potision (lever aft). As soon as the engine starts, the mixture goes into the full forward or Auto Rich position. (As I'm not at my PC I can't watch the replay, sorry)

The tail wheel behaves as if it is spring-loaded and does not rotate freely... It always wants to return to the centre position.

Wich gear bug?

Aft position = Cut Off Middle position = Auto Lean Forward position = Auto Rich

That sounds absolutely plausible
