Siegfried Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 When I look at external model I see one radiator flap don't move and stay closed. The flap is the right side just in front of exhaust tubes. I think that is new bug of 1.2.16 but I can´t be sure.

The flap is the right side just in front of exhaust tubes. I think that is new bug of 1.2.16 but I can´t be sure. I may be wrong but I think I remember seeing that on real Fw 190, so apparently it is modeled after the real thing. Edit: Googled the thing and there is indeed a bunch of pictures showing the Dora with one flap closed: I'm not sure why the radiators open like that, but a quick Google-fu yields a lot of pictures so I think it's not a bug. :p Edited March 20, 2015 by Genchou
Siegfried Posted March 20, 2015 Author Posted March 20, 2015 Ok. I don't know. But the other side too? I cant remember if this was before, but as I have seen the left side opened I guessed that one or the other are wrong. Maybe the bug is the other side open when it should not. In any case it is strange.
Genchou Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 Apparently it is only that one flap on the right side that doesn't open. But I'm no expert on the matter so you shouldn't take my word as a fact.
Siegfried Posted March 20, 2015 Author Posted March 20, 2015 Thanks for find that. Now I will go to search photos from de left side of the plane.

Siegfried Posted March 20, 2015 Author Posted March 20, 2015 In this photo looks like the left side that flap is closed. But in this other looks like the flap is open in two Doras. Another left side flap closed. Strange. The right flap is closed all photos but the left flap sometimes open and sometimes closed. I guess that maybe is for the compressor air intake is behind right side and that flap remains closed for not break the airflow.
Siegfried Posted March 20, 2015 Author Posted March 20, 2015 Ok, sniped by Yo-yo. Thanks. When I was collecting all these pictures I realized the detail of the air intake and now I see the explanation.
