Another small bug, for the Mosquito FB VI, when you are hit and the instrument panel displays bullet holes, the RPM guages and Boost guages become blank (i.e the needles disappear) and do not show damage textures.

Ive found out that the SM.79 bomber doesnt stall with a full bombload+100%fuel, when doing a minimum radius turn, with max nose up trim.

And another one, lol. The Hellcat in RL has dive brakes that use the landing gear as the F4U foes, the gear can be lowered for dive brakes up to 350 kts. Below I think 135 kts or so the gear will lock in place for landing. The Hellcat also had automatic combat flaps.

Ive found a major bug.
Just kidding.

Fuel pressure problem for the bf109G10? (Dont know if this applies to the other bf109's too.)
If you look at the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure is almost at minimum, at full power (110%).
If the engine is running very lean at full power, it will destroy the engine in real live.

I have also tested it in a FW190A8, and in a BF109G6 and its the same bug.
I think all BF109s and all FW190s have this bug.

The mark on the airspeed indicator for 400Km/h on the yak-9M, and possibly other yaks too is in the wrong place, the needle passes the 400Km/h mark at 350km/h IAS. The airspeed indicator changes scale by 50% to larger increments at 300km/h, but the needle doesn't take this into effect until 400km/h, causing a 50 km/h difference in IAS. Hope I'm making sense here!

As far as I know IAS (Indicated Air Speed) and TAS (True Air Speed) really only ever overlap values at certain altitude due to air pressure. TAS is calculated based on IAS and air pressure...or something like that, maybe there's other variables.

The cockpit speedometer and speed displayed in the bottom left of the screen (if enabled) are IAS and if you go to no-cockpit view the speed in the HUD is in TAS. If this is the "bug" you're referring to...it's probably not such a bug as it is a feature from reality.
