The dark zone behind the panel is one of the things that I wanted to see corrected from the beginning. But there were other more pressing problems with the pit. Retexturing the dark area has been suggested. I can look at the Body.msh file in greater detail for clues as to where this texture is located.
In combination with this retexturing I have thought about transplanting the behind panel cowling from the Hellcat (or was it the Corsair?) and stretching it to fit behind the P47 panel. I have seen this design in P47 models in other sims. I think that would make everything appear much more seamless. As it is now with the dark zone it gives the appearance of a too small cockpit tub sliding around in a too large hole.
Also if the long handled throttle lever is better for the P47C, D. I think we should use it. There are several that we could use. And as transplants go this would be an easy one. The alignment of the lever in the slot could maybe even be improved with a little tweaking.
PS: Taurus I have a version of Misk1.tga that you sent me that is missing a toggle switch, that is why I used the stock version for some of the screens. Not a problem for my work, just letting you know in case you hadn't caught it yet.
