Manifold Pressure Gauge is wrong in P38 all models
« on: December 06, 2020, 09:54:54 AM »
Anyone notice a difference between what is posted in the E6B and what is reading on the Manifold pressure gauge in the aircraft, it's wrong in all three P38 models.

I knew something was different with the p38 after the update.

Unfortunately the updated P38 model added nothing to the game, except confusion in the cockpit. A sign of the times and AH’s lack of attention to detail.  Wondering how long before it is looked at and fixed?  What was the purpose of the rear view mirror that can’t be adjusted and is useless with TrackIR.  Maybe they will add yet another directional gyro.

The new P38 cockpit is much closer to the real P38 cockpit.  It takes a little getting used to, but it is much closer to the real thing.

I've been here for 20 years along with my squad mates, have never taken a break, play in a squad of P38 drivers.  I've made a sizable investment into this game.  I'm honest.  Do you really believe that you "fly against hundreds of pilots world wide"  or is it more like Two's of Pilots?  A lot of work went into the new models of the game and that effort should have improved the game,  other wise, what was the point, especially if the release is flawed? New people drawn to the game by the slick advertising don't seem to hang around very long, Maybe because the website says one thing and the reality of game play is very different.  The franchise used to pride it's self on the accuracy of the model, go back and take a long look at any of the WWII pictures of P38 cockpits online and show me one with two directional gyros and no wet compass.

Most of the time when I have been in the real small home town airports, there are signs in the bathrooms that indicate pilots with low manifold pressure will most likely tinkle on their shoes.

It added a lot to the game, especially for us dedicated Lightning drivers.  It is a step above the previous P-38 cockpit.  I don't see why you think the new cockpit is a sign of lack of attention, but I suspect you just added that because you have some type of hard on for HiTech and will cry, whine and complain at the drop of the hat if you think it will make HiTech look bad.

it was released before it was ready.  That's why the readings on the Manifold Pressure are incorrect.  That what I call a lack of attention to detail.  I use TrackIR and the rear view mirror is useless to me as it now exists.  The purpose of the two Directional Gyros are?  the lack of a wet compass? This configuration found in what real P38 Cockpit?    Sorry but I don't feel that the new P38 models added anything to the game.

It also made it significantly easier for our skinner team to, well, skin the 38.  Now the skins that will be created for them will be much more accurate vs the stop-gap that was previously done for the older model on a few skins.

Wow I find it hard to believe it has been almost 38 days since our last path. We should have release another 38 versions by now  :bhead

More accurate in what way?  They currently have to be historically accurate, correct?
