SmirkingGerbil Posted August 16, 2020 Posted August 16, 2020 After flying the P-47 for awhile, and admiring all the amazing detail. I noticed you cannot see the second bank of Piston Cylinders. When you take damage and the cowling is removed, you can see what looks like a structural plate between the first and second row of Cylinder Heads. Did some checking, and noticed on multiple pictures of the R2800 mounted in the P-47 you can see the offset interleaved second row of Cylinders. I did find some examples of a air flow baffle, or conformal heat shield that was between the first and second row, but it had cut-outs to allow the second row to get air and the cylinders, along with cooling fins were visible in the second row. Even in DCS the AI model of the A20 you can see the second row of cylinders. I know this is probably not high priority, and maybe the plate in DCS has to do with modeling engine performance. If there is time, if it is a feature that P-47's all had a visible second row, it would sure be nice to see them, as they are modeled in DCS and we are missing some visual detail from a superb model. Understand this is just "eye candy" and their are far more important things to do, or it might even be slated for later release. Just pointing out for reference. A beautiful model, fully enjoying, a request only. Pointy end hurt! Fire burn!! JTF-191 25th Draggins - Hawg Main.
