As I said, pause is your friend. If the desired option to disable the autopilot for MP servers comes about, an autopilot will certainly not be available there in most cases either way. So your argument is not really conclusive. Since it has already been said that the autopilot should not actually be included in the release version, I assume that it will disappear again with the patch that is sure to come soon.

What do the textures have to do with it...? Only the F4U-1A (B = British 1A ,C = A but with 20mm cannons) had no water injection. The F4U-1D had water injection. In the picture you can see the indicator light I described... It's just in the middle of the dashboard, you can easily overlook it...

The DCS community is funny. If the color of a decal doesn't match the original, then there's something going on... But an autopilot for a warbird is ok...

How about simply pausing the simulator for such a case? The DCS community is funny. If the color of a decal doesn't match the original, then there's something going on... But an autopilot for a warbird is ok...

This - the "W" stands for "Water Injection"

However, your reference video is not particularly suitable, as modern instruments are installed there...

The manifold pressure at the appropriate altitude would have been important. Because you could use this to see whether the water injection is working or not. https://forum.dcs.world/topic/375234-engine-poweraircraft-speed/page/4/#findComment-5662242

What were your engine settings at that time? Manifold, blower, altitude,...? This is clearly not true, as Saxman has triggered the 3 minute warning light (see the post below yours). I.e. water injection is implemented, but the question is whether it works properly.

It is clearly not currently implemented or even planned (which I hope is not the case).

As I said, everything that has no center and goes “+” and “-” (Pitch: up/center/down, Roll: left/center/right) is a “slider” (Throttle 0-100%, Brakes 0-100% etc.). So I would set all such axis as “sliders”, which I have been doing for years with all modules. The F4U has no display, control light, visible switch or similar for the water injection, so it is currently very difficult to find out whether this is implemented at all and if so, whether it works properly. Unfortunately, the safety wire is not animated (as in the P-51, for example), but there is an animated detent. if you exceed this, the water injection should actually be activated.

I find it astonishing that hardly anyone seems to use the “slider” option. It is only logical to use “slider” for all axis that do not use a center point and “+” and “-” (Pitch, Roll, Yaw for example) but go from “0” to “100”. Throttle or brakes, for example, are such a case, rotary controls, etc. I have been using the “slider” option for this type of axis for years.

This is definitely a bug, especially as there is no “...past the stop”. The lever cannot be moved any further once the axis have been set correctly.

It flashes, if you have only 3 minutes of water left and goes out, when water is empty.

I assume you have quoted the wrong person, because you are saying exactly the same thing as I have said before, especially about rpm and water injection.

There is one modeled and animated and a not animated, cut safety wire in our F4U. You can see it clearly while moving the throttle forward.

You can see the physical detent (and the cut safety wire) on the throttle quadrant. The throttle itself moves beyond this detent, it's animated. The comparison to an afterburner is quite appropriate.

Mixture "Auto Rich" (forward position) is only needed for takeoff and landings, for eveything else use "Auto Lean" (middle position)

I don't want to argue with you either and it's obvious that something isn't working properly. Since the rpm lever has nothing to do with the water injection, this phenomenon is certainly a bug. However, since there is no display or lever for the water injection, it is currently difficult to determine whether it is implemented and if so, whether it is working properly. We will likely have to wait for a dev's answer. ( @-Rudel-)

The question is, of course, whether our simulated version comes before or after the serial number 82278...

The water injection is activated automatically. If you look at the throttle quadrant, you will see a detent. If you move the throttle beyond this detent, you break a safety wire and thus activate the water injection and WEP (the safety wire is also modeled, but not animated, unlike in the P-51, where you actually cut this wire). The rpm is not affected by this for the time being.

Yes, incl. WEP, which includes water injection

If this were the case, it would of course still be a bug. Especially as the rpm should not be higher than 2700 (according to the various known tables).

Already existing (Toggle for speedbrakes).

Wouldn't it be useful to create a list of what is not yet implemented (and maybe what is already implemented)? That would make bug reports much easier.
