BUG: P-38 water radiators in manual operation open to 100% and close to 0% no matter how brief the key-press

[Eclipse4349]

The water radiators in the P-38 do not work properly in manual operating mode.  When switching to manual operation, the water radiator control opens to 100% by itself.  If the keys for closing the water radiators (RCTL + =) is pressed briefly, the radiators then close to 0%, as if the keys were held.  Pressing the "open" keys again open them all the way to 100%, as if the keys were held. 

 

I have tested both with my HOTAS buttons and the default keybinds, and both behave the same way.  The oil radiator is unaffected - it behaves normally.  I also verified that the radiators of another plane with automatic control by default (the P-51) operates normally. Both the water and oil radiators work normally in manual operation in the P-51.

Noticed the same but wasn't sure whether it's "by design" or really a bug.

Thanks for the report!

I think this might be by deign, kind of like when you go into manual water radiator mode in the Bf109 F-2 (except you can't close it... manual mode simply means 100%).  I'm not 100% on that though.

No bug, it's by design.

But Intercooler doors use the same Keybinding and that is a bug !
