catchforusthefoxes Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) I'm sure the team is busy and I'm sure some things have taken more than a year to address but I'm just wondering if the 3D model inaccuracies and incompletions will be addressed some day? Also, taking a look at the model I've noticed that the dorsal fin may have some sizing inaccuracies. It is thinner and less prominent than the real fins and not as wide or tall as true to life dorsal fins for the currently existing P-47 are, I notice that the sides of real dorsal fins have an almost curved slope and cover a greater area on the empennage unlike the dorsal fin we have at the moment which just sticks straight up and connects from one point to another. True to life fins: DCS: Much smaller with nearly no slope or curve Edited January 29, 2022 by catchforusthefoxes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

River Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 these are bad modelling mistakes, hope it gets a fix soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogster Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 https://warbirdaviation.co.uk/Profiles/republic-p-47d-thunderbolt-nellie-g-thun-ultimate-fighters/ The additional dorsal fins seem to vary from aircraft to aircraft. G-THUN at Duxford doesn’t have one at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grafspee Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 @Mogster Wasn't dorsal fin added at some point so some examples may don't have it. System specs: I7 14700KF, Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Elite, 64GB DDR4 3600MHz, Gigabyte RTX 4090,Win 11, 48" OLED LG TV + 42" LG LED monitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogster Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 (edited) I thought the dorsal fin was added because the cut down rear fuselage to accommodate the bubble canopy led to a decrease in low speed directional stability. A reduced keel effect. At some point it was added OEM from the factory, mod kits were also produced so squadrons could retrofit earlier aircraft. A similar device was fitted to some P51s. Like clipped wings on later Spitfires it seems to have been personal choice if pilots preferred the effect or not, the fin was fairly easily removed/fitted. There are pics of P47s with different shapes/profiles of fin also suggesting pilots experimented with different types, squadrons maybe making their own. I’d imagine what helped less experienced pilots in the landing pattern wouldn’t necessarily impress veterans wanting that extra manoeuvrability in a dogfight.

catchforusthefoxes Posted May 22, 2022 Author Share Posted May 22, 2022 Either way, the fin isn't as accurate in shape and form as the ones in real life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
