Hawker Hurricane.

I'm a little late to react on the last Bob SoW "22nd Oct". update, I'm still recovering from a far east Jet lag. ; )

First of all I would like to thank Oleg and his team from their exceptional work.

I have some observations and questions on the cockpit screens of the flying Hawker Hurricane Mk I.


1. Does the Artificial Horizon tumble down ?

On the second Hurricane screen, if we look through the canopy, outside the window, the aero plane seems to be in a steep right hand turn (> 90°)
with quite a nose down attitude (pointing to the sea). Now if we have a look to the artificial horizon, the bank looks correct but the attitude is showing a nose up attitude.

Does the artificial horizon shown on this screens, be a gyro gimbals model that when striking the physical stops start to tumble if not caged ?








2. Engine management

Or more precisely fuel management.

On the Merlin III instruments panel installed on the right hand side of the forward cockpit, the engine instruments seem to be showing indications of a
running engine with 3100 RPM, 5.4 lbs pressure of boost, 90 lbs of oil pressure, Oil temp 85°, RAD Temp 100°.
But the reading on the fuel pressure gauge indicates 0 lbs, as it could be on a fail gauge.

Now if we have a look at the fuel cock control on the left side of the cockpit :
the fuel cock switch seems to be represented on the OFF position (9 O'clock position).

3. Pneumatic

As we all know, the firing and braking control system of the Hurricane is pneumatic.
Pushing the fire button or using the brake lever situated on the spade grip activate the correspondent pneumatic line, one for each system.

Have a closer look on the control column, are those pneumatic lines been represented like on this Hurricane Mk II diagram ?

Again, many thanks to Oleg and the Dev' team for the marvelous and splendid job they are doing with this new game.
