P47N fuel bug
« on: July 20, 2005, 04:28:35 PM »
At full throttle E6B says 290GPH, but at WEP it drops to 278 or so. The duration tim limit also went up when I hit WEP. Maybe these are transposed, or WEP needs to be higher, I don't know.

When viewing fuel gauge, no matter if you  switch tanks or not, AUX fuel gauge on left stays right above the 50 mark, even if you at 25% or 50% total fuel loadout and are on the main tank.............just noticed this in the TA

Right fuel gauge for main tank works  or seems to be working fine!

Water injection via WEP means less fuel is used and a lower GPH is achieved.  The same is true for the F4U-4's water injection.

So this is a feature not a bug?  I thought the other P47's had water injection too?  Funny, I don't recall them having better fuel economy under WEP.  I will check later tonight.

Fuel gauges work fine, left is total fuel right is the selected tank.
