bf109 radiator indicator rods are wrong (reversed)

[Varrattu]

As an aside. The adjustable switch for the BF109E-3 propeller needs also to be revised. After pressing up or down the lever should automatically return to neutral. Look here:

Yep Devs are aware of it.

I mention it in advance, that what I write, in case let anybody consider it as provocation. The complexity of the game is fascinating one however that it provides significance to details like this already.

So one more thing to PropPitch:

Here is one gallery, high resolution photos, first item (Fi 18502-2):
http://www.cockpitinstrumente.de/ins...r/schalter.htm

The lower position of the switch (where it is possible to hang it up) that "glide-mode". This is missing totally currently from the game (feather prop key doesnt work, and currently, non switchable with mouse either, because it works some other way. This would be important when the engine stops.



If we turned away from cooling flap to propeller pitch, I would say something new then. Junghans J-30 clock. I found three minor (?) things at this, which is bad according to me:

1. "A timepiece for pilots, it is fitted with the Junghans J30 Bz 30 hour movement with a 15 min. chronograph timer." The clock (in game) counts a 30 second now, not 15 minute.

2. The bezel ring non movable in game, in RL totally, in 360 degrees can be turned. To the measurement of time would be useful well.

3. Look at this picture from first topic, which i linked, if its correct (because of that questionable, because I did not find information somewhere else), the production year of the clock is bad. The v5 type from only 1942 was produced:

Hello dev Team. I saw gladly, that the propeller switch you tried to correct it. Is the file not put very far? Somebody would exchange the increase and decrease directions? The translation did not succeed unfortunately:

http://www.cockpitinstrumente.de/ins.../Fl18502-2.gif

Größer - "greater" RPM!!* Reduce the angle of attack of the propeller (to the rotatory plane**), the wind resistance of a propeller decreases, the rev of an engine accelerates. The Prop pitch gauge move to 12:00.
Drehzahl - "rev/min"
Kleiner - "lesser" RPM: increase the AoA of propeller.
Segelstllg (Segelstellung) - "Glide-standing" increase to maximum AoA of Propeller**, because this causes the smallest wind resistance, if the engine stopped. This now totally wrong (on the switch).


* http://www.cockpitinstrumente.de/Flu...ung/Bilder.htm
**What they measure the position angle of the propeller against in the Russian technical literature? Strange, that it was counted turned over in the il-2 already. I wrote the position angle of the propeller compared to the rotatory plane.



ps. Did it not manage to convince it that water radiator flap indicator is bad? Ehh

Guys can we keep this thread on topic please?
The prop pitch thread is here (in the controls threads):

http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=22549

Let's please only discuss the radiator indicator rods here.

ok, u right.
