Compilation of Aircraft Systems Errors/Bugs/Modelling Mistakes

[salmo]

Aircraft type: Hurricane, Spitfire, ? all others

System affected: Canopy hatches

Description of the problem: Air speed should be reduced when canopy is opened. Presently no air speed change is detectable.

Aircraft type: Messerschmitt Bf 110 C-4 and C-7

System affected: Missing and wrong cockpit instrument labels

Description of the problem:

Aircraft type: Ju 87 B-2
System Affected: Armament Switchboxes ASK-V and ASK-L
Description of Problem:



At the moment the red indicator signs (see yellow arrows in screenshot) are always on if a bomb is loaded. This is wrong as the manual LDv 576/4 clearly states that these lights only come on once the selected safety is being shut off.


Excerpt from LDv 576/4 on pre-flight testing of ETC and ASK

Bottom line is: The red indicator light must not show unless the bomb safety for that particular bomb has been switched off.

Aircraft type: Ju 87 B-2
System Affected: Armament Switchboxes ASK-V and ASK-L
Description of Problem:



Currently ASK-V is being treated as Master Arm Switch which is wrong. ASK-V controlled only the centerline ETC-500 with either a 250 or 500kg bomb and was NOT a Master Arm Switch for the bombload. This means arming a SC50 on one of the wingracks must not change the state of the ASK-V switch!

Aircraft type: Ju 87 B-2
System Affected: Missing Fuse Selector ZSK 243
Description of Problem:

The manual for the bombload of the Ju 87 B-2 (LDv 576/4) states



and



It's talking about setting the attack mode (dive or low level), switching on the main safety and setting the fuse (with out without delay) on a device called ZSK. No such device can be found in the current Ju 87 B-2. The manual also shows its position (to the right of the pilot's seat).





The last picture shows the the three switches on the ZSK 243. The leftmost controls the attack method (Horizontalanflug or Sturzflug), the middle the fuse (oV or mV) and the last is the main safety.

Aircraft type: Messerschmitt Bf 110 C-4 and C-7

System affected: Cockpit instrument lighting

Description of the problem:

1. The "Fahrwerkanzeiger" ("Vierlampengerät") has a switch to cut-off the indicator lights. Though the switch has been modelled there's no way to map a key to the function.

2. The Horizon was shut-off in normal flying by day. Pilots only switched it on at "Blindflugbedingungen".

3. Generally, there are too many light sources in 110-cockpit wich are blinding the pilot by night. There's no way to cut off all light indicators.

Aircraft Type: Ju 87 B-2
System affected: Cockpit label
Description of the problem:



Typo in cockpit labeling. Currently it's Kraftstoffrat but it must be Kraftstoffrest. (Thx to VO101_Tom and robtek.)

Aircraft Type: Ju 87 B-2
System affected: Wheel Brakes
Description of the problem:

Currently the wheel brakes have no or grossly insufficient function. It is not possible to keep the aircraft in place while warming up, it moves forward even with minimal throttle.

Pitot-Heater indicator of the Bf109


The pitot-heater (Staurohr) lamp does not indicate when the heater is ON


It has been reported to Ilya by Blacksix already http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthr...t=28341&page=8

Hi. Have you photo from this label? I ask, because this may be an unusual method of abbreviation? Like here: PP switch Segelstllg instead of Segelstellung...

According to this picture it should be "Kraftstoffrest"

Yes, it could be, but it is a B-1.
I just wrote it, because the "Kraftstoffrat" may be abbreviation instead of misspelling.

Aircraft Type: Bf 110 C-4 / C-7
System affected: Elektrischer Wendehorizont (Artifactical Horizon): On/Off switch
Description of the problem:

The horizon device isn't switched on by standard but will be used only when needed. Its lifetime is very short when be used constantly so the pilots regularly left the horizon shut off.

When switched on a special generator did start wich could be heard very clearly. Check this video to get a sound sample:
