Compilation of Aircraft Systems Errors/Bugs/Modelling Mistakes

[VO101_Tom]

Aircraft type: Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-1, E-3, E-4

System affected: Fuel system, Landing Gear Emergency System
Description of the problem: The emergency opening now works this way: you have to pull the emergency release lever (Fahrwerk Notzug), then have to use the nearby hand pump. This is wrong. That pump is connected to the fuel system, you can pressurize the fuel system with it (before engine start).

Description of proper operation:: You have to pull the "Fahrwerk Notzug" lever, and the gravity opens the landing gear, and locks in open position (It's working only, if the landing gear system lost the hydraulic pressure). No need any handpump.

This pump is the part of fuel system:


A single wire pulled by emergency lever, which pull a safetly lock


Shematic draw of the landing gear system (no handpump)

[VO101_Tom]

Aircraft type: Messerschmitt Bf 109 E-1, E-3

System affected: Prop Pitch lever
Description of the problem: The lever center position is wrong, because it have only 3 position in the game, instead of 4.

- Größer - "greater" (rpm)
- Drehzahl - "rev/min"
- Kleiner - "lesser" (rpm)
- Segelstllg (Segelstellung) - "Glide-standing" increase to maximum AoA of Propeller, because this causes the smallest wind resistance, if the engine stopped. This function now totally missing in the game.

[JG53Frankyboy]

Aircraft type: Ju88A-1 & Bristol Blenheim Mk.IV

System Affected : Bombbaydoors

Description of the problem :
The bombbaydoors in the Ju88 are opening and closing automaticly when you relese a SC50 bomb. The movement is very slow. The bombbaydoors were pure manual!
In the opposite, the bombbaydoors in the Blenheim SHOULD be automatic, they they were opened by the bomb's weight, but are not automatic in game






Aircraft type: Ju88A-1 & FIAT Br.20

System Affected: Gyrocompass

Description of the problem:
in both planes the Gyrocompass is not working.
