We just pushed a small hotfix that removes the non-working FC1 aircraft entries from the game menu for players who don't own them.

What a great present for US folks in time for Thanksgiving holidays!  

 

"Come to the table dear, we're waiting.  Dear?  Honey?"

 

Seriously, prepare to set up your P-47 key bindings.  There are the inlet and outlet cowl flaps I suppose, WEP (war emergency power), turbocharger, etc.  

 

Me, I'm in France and won't get my hands on the controls until mid-December when I'll be expected to be in full-get a tree and decorate the house mode.  Ho ho ho.

Great update, better FR in VR for me...anyone else? 

P-47 is beautiful, but feels underwhelming performance-wise. I'm sure it's user error, but up against Fw190A8 bots I can't seem to match climb or turn perf. Seems like that match would be slightly in the Thunderbolt's favor. But again, I'm probably not getting all I can out of the Pratt and Whitney just yet.

is it me or does the Mk 108 on the k4 sounds like a 20mm?

 

I think the MG 151/20 is still standard on the K4. Are you sure you selected it?

Sounds about right. With 4 machine guns total, 2 will be visible in each wing.

But I'm not seeing any report from the guns when firing. No extra holes in the wings.

Well it should not be, it's questionable if MG 151 should be avaible at all as engine cannon for K4. Will check after DL is complete.

With the 4x guns mod, you're getting rid of 4 guns, so you only have 4 guns total left. If you want to have all 8 guns, simply don't use the modification.

MG 151/20 nose cannon is not avaliable for the K-4 ingame. It always has MK 108.

At what altitude are you trying to turn with a 190?  Keep in mind down low (IE nearly on the deck), the turning fight is not where the P-47 shines.  

The P-47 also never had spectacular climb rates..in fact early P-47's (before the paddle blade props) inspired the joke "Well it better dive, because it sure can't climb". 

Even once the P-47's got the broader prop blades it never was a great climber...if you want to match a 190, you've got to stay higher, dive on it, and keep your speed up.

I think you might not have the right setup for the turbosupercharger, engine controls and engine-related accessories (WEP, etc.).  I can't help as I'm half a world away from my flying computer.

 

IIRC our model has the uncuffed paddle bladed prop so she should climb pretty well.

But she's a real looker in that RAF skin... Compared to the jeans,n,tshirt look of the American skins, in RAF colours she looks like she's dressed up for a classy night out on the town!

On the P47 in the QMB, using modifications for 4 50cal machine guns, only 2 machine guns are visible in each wing. Can someone check this behind me? Thanks.

 

Well, I don't see where the problem is - P47's default armament is 8 gun barrel (4 for each wing) - if you select 4 guns then this means 2 gun barrel for each wing and

so you will only see the two inner barrels - the two outer barrels are removed. The 4 barrels per wing are not aligned in a row, but installed offset.

You know what has impressed me the most about the P-47 so far? The engine sound. I could just sit there and listen to that guttural roar all day.

 

She's something of a glass cannon when facing AAA but enemy transportation assets will have a very short life expectancy when a flight of P-47s enters the area. I was able to wreak havoc on trains with the 50s alone. Adding 2500 lbs. of bombs almost seems like overkill...

The damage model does need some tweaking..the P-47 was renowned for it's toughness and ability to absorb punishing damage and still bring their pilots home..IE having an entire cylinder shot away in the engine and still having it trucking along. 

I'm sure the DM will get some updating, it's still early yet folks.

But I so look forward to trying this out!!

Don't forget that you can link the prop RPM and turbo levers with the throttle. :)

Woohoo, the Jug and K4! Fantastic, and MP code improvements is fantastic as well! :) 

 

Has the Fw190 A8's crazy heat issue been fixed? 

 

It had been reported by players and testers as well, I don't see it in the patch notes - maybe next patch? Crossing fingers, hoping for the best.
