S!

 

 Have had an issue where the airspeed indicator starts to go backwards in flight when increasing speed. Usually this happens in the P-47 at above 10kft, it shows 400mph IAS even you go maybe 250-300mph for real. Then it begins to go backwards when speed increases. Had this same happen in the Dora yesterday too, airspeed went backwards as speed increased in a dive. In both planes had pitot heating on etc. Anyone else noticed this? I have run repair and cleanup. Only mod installed is the A-4E Skyhawk, otherwise clean install.

I seem to recall there used to be a bug long ago with pitot heating being inop on P-47 but I don't remember if it was eventually fixed or not.

Pitot heating is INOP currently (in my experience at least), I always turn heating on before takeoff, and still getting freezing, with indicated speed increasing with altitude increase and decreasing when descending (as if Pitot tube flash froze while pressurized at some speed, and now if plane climbs and static port pressure drops relative to whatever was in Pitot at the moment of freezing, indicated speed goes up and vice versa). It was reported years ago, track was submitted 3,5+ years ago, and I linked another one (it was too big for this forum) in last november.

yup, had a similar experience flying last week with our squad. We were doing 420mph IAS at 20,000 ft 😄 and the altimeter arrow was trying to break the 430mph mark when we tried to climb higher... It was experienced both in my and my squadmate's p47.  😄

Looks like this has been marked as reported on may 24th:

Hi, 

please include a short track replay showing the issue

 

Here is a short track where the pitot tube ices up after take off. I take off go up to 16K'ish  level off and cruise clear of clouds and then climb and dive with the info bar open. The airspeed increases in climb and decreases in a dive like an altimeter, seemingly pitot icing with open static ports.
