Probably the same 1% that will use a clickable cockpit for startup procedure.

I intend to use the mouse for every "no need instinctive access" function.

I' ll most probably will use keyboard for gear, flaps, guns, bombs, and so on, but if there are advanced functions like "select fuel tank", "select preset radio frequency" "switch magnetos on", "press ignition buttons", "use boost pumps", "set reticle lighting" "switch windshield deicing" and so on, i'll use the mouse for these, just to know where the levers and buttons are and when and why use them is extremely immersive imho.

I am very happy to know cockpits are clickable and hope 3rd party will add many clicking functions.

Dito. There is plenty of time to use the mouse when you're not engaged in combat; and no need to access many functions during a dogfight.

Oleg, we think that we've found an error at the oil temp gauge (Fl20343). The Emil did have a switchable gauge wich can indicate both incoming and outgoing oil temp. For this one have to press the knob in upper right. Those switchable gauges have a description on it "drücken: Eintr.-Temp." (press: incoming temp) I know that the drawing is from 1942, anyway the description on the gauge is missing.

Beside that the scale has to be from 0 to 160°C imho. Please see the attached picture for further informations.

Hello Foo'bar!

You sure about that? Your drawing is from 1942 and you are mentioning what presumably is the most recent instrument (1043A). Apparently the variant completely on the left 1042S is indeed 120°C. It would not struck me as impossible that the 109E DB601A or N which was comparatively less powerful and running less hot than a 1942 109G2, with its quite more powerful DB605?

Just wondering...

PS Did you see my little K5 work?

[Foo'bar]

Hello Jean-Valéry,

the gauge has a knob to switch and imho therefore there's a description missing, no matter if a 1942 or 1940 built gauge. About 120°C or 160°C indeed I'm not shore though.

About the kmz file I first have to install Google Earth first because I've assambled a new rig recently. As soon I got GE I will comment it at Foo'rum. Thanks so long, mate!

Nice Details

I think you're right. If one looks closely at this picture below, one can see that text which is presumably missing:

Lets hope Oleg didn't miss that upon all these clickpit start procedure discussion

1. It isn't comfirmed by the guys whois doing restoration
2. On my own photos that I did for the E series with 109th (original from Messerschmitt factopry museum, trasferred in USA, flyable.) there is 120.
