grafspee Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 looks like it will be an average slow P47D. Would have been nice to have something that could compete with the german aircraft like 150 octane. I hope it at least has dive flaps! what is this 150 octane plane ??

Snapage Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 what is this 150 octane plane ?? Just talking about it using 150 octane fuel, but I don't know if it was ever used much in the P47D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acording to screenshot provided by ED we will get preaty late model, with Water injection ad Diving flaps(Compresibility flaps) too. Other nice thing is electric automatic prop. I cant wait till announcment of this bird.

Barrett_g Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 Another interesting update on a P-47 rebuild.

At least programing is cheaper and you dont have to meat exact specs. Restoring that kind of plane is ridiculous expensivie, most of the parts arent avilable anymore, that is forcing ppl to make them by them self, and after you done bouildign tha plane,if you want it to make it air wothy makes it even more dificult and more expensive, and after all programing brings $$, restoring vintige plane takes $$ away. Im not expert in programing,but as it is every where else, if company put 1000 work hours of its emplyes in to something,company would like to make money out of it as fast as possible,hanging this work hours in air for long time would be just waste unless company hit wall and is unable to continue work on it or there is other project with projected much higher income :) Edited August 23, 2019 by grafspee System specs: I7 14700KF, Gigabyte Z790 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...

SmirkingGerbil Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Not sure how many here were donators for when the project first kicked off, guessing all who are following this thread are, as am I. There are plenty of stickies where you can read about how ED and DCS stepped in, and without them assuming all the debt and project load, this bird would be in some desktop trash bin. Still remember those heady days of emailing Luthier and trying to find out what was going on. He and I actually corresponded a bit, and he was trying to be helpful for sure. Just went back over my email files, and found that last update from IIlya on 3/24/2014 . . . and my first backer donation on 9/24/2013. Personally very appreciative that at some point, we will get the module I (and others) funded, and that it will be brought to life to the exacting standards that ED/DCS/TFC demonstrates time and time again. I can wait. Plenty of awesome modules from that initial startup, such as the P-51, Dora, and Kurfurst to keep me busy. Along with the KA-50, A-10C, and F/A-18. Pointy end hurt! Fire burn!!

RIFLE_JTAC_TRAINING Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I thought with the latest WWII pack update maybe something on the P47 would have been nice. Its absence makes me think itll be a 2020 release.

twistking Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Heyhey, could someone quickly describe how the p-47 will differ from the p-51? On paper they seem "similar" in that they are both relatively heavy, yet with powerful engines, sturdy airframes, armed with 6 and 8 .50cals, good high altitude performance, not super agile... will the p-47 handle vastly different? will the engine management be fundamentally different? Any interesting avionics or other quirks that set it apart from the mustang? I already own the mustang and the 109 and i enjoy how vastly different they operate in every aspect. Will the p-47 maybe feel a little bit samey to the p-51? I'm more interested in handling, engine and avionics than in the intracacies of dogfight performance. Thanks!

Ala13_ManOWar Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I believe yes, they are way different. P-47 is heavier, but engine is way more powerful, so it'll be heavier in the controls I guess but having a good manoeuvrability for the size (still don't turn with a 109). It should have way more toughness with regard to battle damage, specially while in ground attack duty. The engine being air cooled would be tougher than P-51. With regards to engine management it's somewhat similar but with a small and substantial difference, it's turbocharged, so instead of having an automated supercharger, when you run out of MP to keep engine optimal settings while climbing you start using a third lever with the turbocharger speed (and while watching turbo temps, it can blow up). So it's a thing to have in mind all of the time, turbocharger lever up when climbing to keep MP up, but then also down if you don't want to blow the engine in overboost while descending. Fine to keep an eye while cruising or just flying for pleasure, but in combat I believe it'll be challenging and I think we'll see many engines blown up from people diving carelessly. S!

The 47 should feel much heavier overall, although roll should be crisper along the whole flight envelope. The P-47 also introduces a new factor in engine management: turbocharger, which can be linked with the throttle or controlled manually. Also, without external tanks the 47 has a range similar to the Spitfire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistking Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 thank you guys. when reading about it, i somehow did not realize that it being turbocharged changes engine management fundamentally. that alone could make it interesting enough for my taste (also it is just a great plane to look at of course).

Thanks! p-47 is quite bigger then p-51. small coreection p-51 used one of the smallest aerial engien during ww2, p-47 used one of the biggest engine. P-47 was made as high alt fighter was equiped with turbo supercharger system so engien managment will be difrent then in p-51. It can lift heavier payload then p-51. P-47 i think wont be good turn fighter so boom and zoom only in fighter role.

S! if you didnt know p-47 has turbocharger and supercharger Factor limit for turbocharger in p47 is turbo rpm gage combined with turbo light indicator. earlier models were allowed for 18000 rpm late for 21000 something like that, not exact numbers. I know that p-47 had automatic boost regulator so you wont overboost, but you should be able to heat intake air to levels much above safe margin and this will harm engine. So p-47 in thottle quadrant will have those 1. Throttle+ water switch 2.Turbo charger control lever 3.rpm control 4.mixture control with lean and rich run position prepare yourself for lots of dials on your hotas + cowl flaps + inter cooler flaps + oil cooler flaps all of this is manual only Maby in late models some of this got auto option. But still lots of engine managment :) Edited September 8, 2019 by grafspee System specs: I7 14700KF, Gigabyte Z790 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...
Ala13_ManOWar Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I know that p-47 had automatic boost regulator so you wont overboostNo, that I didn't know. I wonder how that works and if there are any limits in what that can handle before going overboost. I mean, if you dive wildly from a turbocharger altitude everything should go beyond green lines, turbo rpm of course but either regular MP controlled by a throttle which would be slammed into the control panel. That boost regulator could handle that? All sort of cowl flaps are of course something more to keep an eye on, but in the end those aren't that hard to control or the mess some other tittles made people believe :smilewink: . To be honest I've flown only one aircraft featuring them, and that was only one cowl flap, but still it was quite a simple management. S!
