Sydy Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 (edited) Hi guys, I hope everybody is well protected during this pandemia craziness. Today I decided to make one of my Quick Checklists for the upcoming P-47D Thunderbolt module. I got it from the vídeo previews out there, from talks I remember with brazilians WWII veterans and from the original manual. Yep, I do have an original 1943 P-47D-25-35 manual. I also have the P-47B,C up to -23 Razorback and the P-36 Curtiss originals. I thought about scanning it to a PDF but with the way it’s binded I am sure I’d damage it, so it’s big no no for me. Nope, I don’t have the module yet, although I wouldn’t mind if ED make it available to me so I’d make an English and a Portugueses review... :music_whistling: (I gotta try... :D ) Anyway, here goes the link for the P-47D Quick Checklist Download Page. This is how it looks like: Btw, as I don’t have the module yet (ED, here is your second chance :D ) the path for the kneeboard is just a guess for now. All the best, Sydy Edited June 4, 2020 by Sydy

sora_061 Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 Wow we have kneeboards. Where is the real deal? ED please don't tease us, give us the release date Sent from my Redmi K20 Pro using Tapatalk
Reflected Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 When would you turn on the fuel booster rheostat, and at what altitude would you turn it off again? Also, the manual I have states that the boost and the throttle should not be connected, but the throttle pushed fully forward and add as much turbo as needed to get 52 inches of mp. You get 300 more horse powers this way. Not sure which one is correct, or was used in real life. Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord

You get 300 more horse powers this way. Not sure which one is correct, or was used in real life. Hi Reflected, Just read the manual carefully. Here goes for the two questions: 1. You keep the rheostat on START & ALTITUDE always, unless you have and emergency and your fuel pressure drops. If so, then you move ir clock-wise to by-pass the electrical pumps. 2. The Engine controls interconnection may be kept until the “critical altitude”. It is not a fixed one, but it is when the BOOSTER tachometer reaches 20.000 rpm. You may go for 22.000 rpm on the booster for 15min. The other constraint to disconnect the Booster Lever from the Throttle Lever is if the engine starts pulsating. I will put some pages as attachments here so you may check yourself and have no “interpretation” mishap! :D I also notice I may improve the Quick Checklist with some good engine parameters. I probably will do so when they release the module. All the best, Sydy Edited June 1, 2020 by Sydy
Reflected Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 Thanks a lot Syddy, much appreciated. Looks like I have the manual for an older version. Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord
Sydy Posted June 2, 2020 Author Posted June 2, 2020 Thanks a lot Syddy, much appreciated. Looks like I have the manual for an older version. My pleasure! I found out there is an “h” missing in the Rheost. in the Quick Checklist. In Portuguese Rheostat is “Reostato” and I just mixed it. I will fix it in the next version. I am also planning to include some lights, gunsight and cruise regime numbers on the checklist. All the best, Sydy
Sydy Posted June 2, 2020 Author Posted June 2, 2020 Gents, Update Vs 1.2 is up with some Improved Engine Data, typo correction and some better format. Edit: Next version only when module is out and I test it a bit. All the best, Sydy
Sydy Posted June 2, 2020 Author Posted June 2, 2020 On the next update (1.3) I will include one step for the Generator... I gotta operate the Jug a bit for sure.

Sydy Posted June 3, 2020 Author Posted June 3, 2020 thanks buddy appreciate your work! My pleasure, Enduro14. I think vs 1.3 is pretty much a good deal. Looking forward flying it. All the best, Sydy

Sydy Posted June 3, 2020 Author Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) Gents, The correct folder to install is "C:\Users"your name"\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Kneeboard\P-47D-30" Edited June 4, 2020 by Sydy
Cool Breeze Posted June 4, 2020 Posted June 4, 2020 (edited) Very nice checklist SYDY thank you very much! Just a quick aside once you get into the kneeboard files, and there isn't a file for the Thunderbolt just right click to create a new folder and name it P-47D-30. Drop the checklist in there and it worked great!

Drop the checklist in there and it worked great! Hi Cool Breeze, Perfect observation! I already fixed the folder structure in the .rar file so new downloaders will not have any problem. Checklist still the 1.3 vs, but the file is with correct path now. Thank you for using the checklist. All the best, Sydy
