Compilation of Aircraft Systems Errors/Bugs/Modelling Mistakes

[csThor]

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.

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...

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:

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

System affected: Prop-pitch automatic switch

Description of the problem: The C models didn't have any prop pitch automatic, so the switch is needless. See image what to do.

[Foo'bar]

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

System affected: Cockpit instrument tank switch warner

Description of the problem: The C models didn't have the "Umschaltwarnung" indicators since these were introduced with D models first. See image for details.

[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.

Sources: Bf 109 E Betriebs- und Rüstanleitung, page 68, 69, 97

109 E Fuel system (top view)


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, E-4

System affected: Flap, Skin

xnomad linked a couple of picture a long time ago in this topic: Flap setting indicator on Bf109.

[Varrattu]

Aircraft type:
German Aircraft

System affected:
7,9 mm ammunition

Description of the problem:
7,9 mm ammunition names do not show their real performance.
The conventional munition types have been produced in a version "verbessert" (improved). These cartridges are of high-velocity type for maximum performance in aircraft machine guns and give higher pressure than other 7,9 mm rounds.
The 7,9 mm v-munition types are thankfully compiled in iL2CoD and therefore should be renamed as follows:

B.-Patrone-v
Observation cartridge; in fact an explosive-incendiary, improved.

S.m.K.-v.
Pointed bullet with steel core, improved.

S.m.K.L'Spur 100/600 -v
Pointed bullet with steel core, tracer, improved.

P.m.K.-v.
Light pointed bullet with steel core, incendiary, improved.
