p-47 flaps, curious ?

[beebee23]

when the engine completely off, no battery.....the flaps works ? bug ?

Hydraulics?

No, hydraulics

[beebee23]

so , thanks ;)

The P-47 had a manual pump for the hydraulics system in case the engine fails. The pump lever is to the left of the pilot seat. It is a bit odd that in game there's no noticable penalty when using manual/emergency mode for the hydraulics.

Unrelated thing but does the intercooler actually do anything on this thing? I have noticed no difference if you just slam it shut and leave it be.

I think it works but I've never tested it specifically, I usually just keep it neutral. Use it to regulate your carb temps. You should see a raise or lowering in temps on the carb air gauge when opening/closing it.

Yeah if you slam it closed it slows you down. Fastest is flush (50%)

Is there a indicator of their position in cockpit?

On the left side. Keep it at neutral. (Picture is from Requiem's video)

The intercooler's effects can be seen on the Carb. Air temperature scale on the right side of the pit. Open it to prevent charge air from exceeding maximum permissible temperature or risk detonation.

Yes, but does it? Can you ruin your engine by letting carb temps rise?

I'll admit I've never tried.

Flew around 2-3 mins at 70 °C and nothing happend. Though, p47s were able to sustain quite a lot of overstress of basically each part quite often so maybe its modelled in game to some degree. There is even case where one D-5 was modify to run above 70 manifold and it did it without problem.

That is an issue, then. The reason you cooled the air is to lower its density and get in more oxygen. If there is no performance penalty from this then its is not implemented yet. 

 

65" manifold with 70C carb air is considerably less power than 0C from the standpoint of just pure thermodynamic cycle.

it should blow out at these temps ?
