P-38 cowl flaps control not showing any info in technochat

[=WH=PangolinWranglin]

The "outlet cowl shutters control" does not show any technochat info despite controlling the flaps under the chins on the engines. Additionally there is no mention of the P-38 in the controls page where the types of planes the control applies to is not listed.

Good catch.  Looking at the manual those appear to be the intercooler flaps, which would be controlled by buttons located at the bottom of the panel (you have to look under the yoke to see them).  So, an axis control would technically not be correct.  The buttons on the panel don't move when you move the axis lever.  Also at the bottom of the panel are buttons to manually operate the water and oil radiators.  You have to assign buttons in key mapping to switch them to manual.  They are supposed to be open or closed when using manual configuration, but the button for oil radiator one step actually moves them in increments.  Which doesn't seem to be correct.  The developers must have run out of buttons in key mapping.  But, it should say something in technochat as the manual says the intercooler flaps should be open for take-off and climb and "nearly" closed the rest of the time.  That means it isn't automatic and should be a more prominent function.  The cockpit pilot notes and technical jargon on the forum don't say anything about how to use them.  There has been a lot of discussion about them on this forum.  Search p-38 cooling flaps.

You can move this flaps, but they have no affect on the charge temperature..... pretty useless in game.... I complained already several times
