This could be a known bug, but I think it's worth mentioning as it still occurs in the latest patch:

When selecting one or multiple engines, some changes made to one engine will carry over to any and all engines selected afterward.

As a practical example, in an aircraft with running engines, select #1 and set the magneto's to off, effectively stopping the engine.
If the #2 engine is then selected, the magneto's for this engine will also be set to off, killing this engine as well.

This "carryover" happens with a number of controls. I've tested it with Magneto's and radiator settings(Open/Closed).

Prop pitch has a similar issue: Set #1 prop pitch to 20%, switch to #2 which is at 100% and decrease prop pitch.
Rather then decreasing to 95% as it should, it will switch to 15%. So the value it decreases from is the one last set.
I'm assuming Mixture will have the same problem.

There are exceptions however: Prop feathering and fire extinguishers do not exhibit this behavior.


My conclusion is that the problem occurs only with incremental controls, I.E. controls with more than two settings.
A possible cause for this is the system reading the variable that was last changed, rather than the one for the currently selected engine.

Two bugs that I did spot recently...

Ki-27 Ko and Otsu

Part of the engine cowling appears in the gunsight and is clipped.

Ki-43-Ia/Ki-43-Ib/Ki-43-Ic

The prop disc appears to intersect with the camera at times creating some clipping. It's particularly irritating when at full throttle as the flickering does get intense.

Apparently not all can see this. I'm running at a customized 1920x1200 resolution. SaveAspect is set to 0. Not sure if that may be relevant.

I've checked, both the Ki-27 and Ki-43 bugs occur at 1600x1200(default aspect ratio) as well.

Ah, you beat me to the Ki-27

Here's another bug though. Note the front of the tube sight:



Here's another weird one. The bullet hole is disappearing behind the nose and appears to move with head position:
