Yeah, thanks Blackdog, I am referring to a discrepency between IAS values on the instruments and on the speedbar, not the TAS shown in the wonder woman view. The airspeed indicator is accurate at all other speeds except between 350km/h and 400km/h where the tick mark is misdrawn. This is an easy bug to test, just go fly a yak-9m with the speedbar on and get her up to 350 km/h IAS on the speedbar, then look at the airspeed indicator, it will read 400 km/h IAS. It's just a misdrawn texture on the guage.

I think you're looking at the fuel pressure gauge, and while I'm not sure how the Buffalo actually worked, it might be correct that the fuel pressure is related to manifold pressure.

The fuel quantity gauge is on the right side of the cockpit, and it does not move with the manifold pressure. I think it shows the contents.

AI D3A1 val don't catch the wire on aircraft carrier Zuikaku, Shokaku and IJN generic, they land 3 points short of wires, then bounce to horizontal attitude, thus hook is too high. They do OK on Akagi, most probably because there's a wire closer to landing area. Maybe try do offset touchdown area on the other carriers ?
It seems to be weather dependent too, with rough weather they tend to catch the wires better !

A small bug, the left wing on the P-51B turns into a P-51D wing when damaged (i.e it gets 3 MG sticking out of the wing instead of the 2 that where there before damage).

That's correct to a certain extent. At very low throttle settings the fuel pressure drops, but stabilizes to the correct value once above that threshold. Meaning, it's ok for fuel pressure to drop with low MP but moving the throttle forward just a bit should stablize it...it will then remain steady no matter the changes in throttle, as long as it is above that critical point.

It's usually why checklists state things like "idle at 1000 RPM", the closed throttle position actually gives lower RPM than that but fuel (and in some cases oil) pressure are too low for proper operation, plus the spark plugs can get dirty if running too low a MP setting for long.

That's also part of the reason real world pilots do an engine run-up prior to take-off...increasing throttle to check magneto RPM drops and exercise the propellers (moving the pitch lever back and forth to pump warm oil into the governor and ensure smooth pitch control) has the positive side effect that residue on the spark plugs gets burned off and they are clean and ready for take-off.

I guess you're talking about the black square texture that surrounds the gauge. It spins along with the horizon indicator.

The A-20C does not have this black square texture so you're saying the A-20G gauge has a graphical bug. Is that correct?
