D.VII(F) radiator?


Recommended Posts

The D.VII(F) is kinda my favourite plane with the way it just stays controllable whatever you do while still having great speed and turn, and I've flown many hours in it. However, I haven't been able to find any kind of radiator lever. I am able to open/close the water radiator with the assigned buttons, but for the life of me I cannot see anything move in the cockpit. I've looked everywhere I can think of - the instrument panel, near the throttle, the wings, between the guns, on the outside of the cockpit, behind or below the pilot's seat, but I just cannot find it.

 

Isn't it modeled? Or wasn't there any way to open/close the radiator IRL? Or am I going blind? :unsure:

Lever lower right with small circular ring. Moves in/out.

In case you still can't find it, it's obscured by the pressure pump.  To get a gratifying view of it moving in and out, freeze your headtracker then use the Page Up / Page Down group of keys until it comes into view.

Damn, you're both right! I've booked an emergency appointment with my optometrist.

 

In my defence, it's almost the same colour as the canvas interior...

Have you found the rad control in the SPAD?

Are you asking for your own curiosity or checking whether the OP also needs to find that?

You need to ask me that?

Yes I have.

 

The only other thing I ever really had any difficulty finding is the compass in the CL.II. It wasn't until I switched to VR flying that I finally located it.
