There seems to be a glitch where I can't turn on the supercharger. I programmed the keys to turn it on in the control section (+[numpad] and Enter [numpad]) I also can't control propellor pitch in the campaigns.


Yes, we Definitely need new P-47s, and their performance needs an update as well. They are not as tough as they were historically [two cannon shells behind the canopy severs the tail, SO unrealistic] and their performance is the same at all altitudes! [they could turn with a 109 above 3,000 meters] These are a must-fix!

More corsair! The F4U-4 [as you guys have already mentioned] is a must, as well as the F2G-1 and -1C, which were equipped with bubble canopies and the fearsome R-4360 3,000 HP engine, and a 4-blade prop.

The Supercharger in the P47's is automatic. The performance is fine right now. You should have tried flying them back in ver. 3.07m. They take far more damage than any other plane in the game. You loosing your tail was either a very good shoot or just luck of the draw. I typically come home in Jugs that are missing tails, wingtips, parts of the fueselage etc.

As far as what a 20mm cannon shell can do.....
Do you have any idea of what a 20mm weighs and looks like? I do. I've fired them and they are quite devistating. Granted the rounds that I've shot are now made from Tungstin or D.E. but they are still just as devistating. German 20mm shells weren't just hardened AP rounds, they were cannon shells (ie. EXPLOSIVE). They detonate upon impact with any kind of hard surface such as an engine, amor plate etc. This is why they had such a hard time downing the British Mosquito. It was made of wood and the rounds would just go through without exploding.

It would be cool to make a new slot D-23 and actually not very difficult considering the external 3d work is identical to the D-22. The flight characteristics of the D-22 were not all that far off from the D-23. I think all that distinguished them was the factories they were built at.

I think the D-10&22 in game which use the early Curtiss paddle blade propeller. It should be a little better than D-27 if equipped with hamilton or late Curtiss products.

Bill,
The D10, untill they were converted, still used the "Needle Prop". The D22 was the first to come off the production line with the new Paddle prop. After pilots started reporting of the advantages, other models were converted.

The fastest P47 was the N model at appx. 467mph at 32000ft. The D27 had a top speed of about 425-435 depending on who you talk to.

My 2 cents on the turbocharger: to get user control of this there would have to be an alteration of the FM. In the original FM I think it was decided to factor in the performance effects of a supercharger without giving user control. I am not in on any of the new slot P47 development so I don't know if this is being addressed. I would like to see this in full real mode also for those who are interested in more complete engine management. For accuracy, there would have to be a the possibility of damage due to over-rpm and over heating.

Poncho,

Would love to see this in full real also, but I don't think it will happen. You'd have to have a way to control the turbo waste gate at different power settings. I'm not even sure if P47 pilots had to worry about this. I seem to remember reading something about it being automatic. Just the S/C, Water Injection, Mixture and Throttle were controlled by the pilot. Will check my reference materials again and let you know for sure.

S!
