There's never enough Sarg.
Ok, back at it again. Looking towards a late weekend upload. Pending any unforeseen. Pretty satisfied with the performance. With a R-4360 engine, the rate of climb should be like a home sick angel. (A quote of Richard Bong's)
Just the ordinance loads remain. I'm not sure of the type of drop tanks to use.
Here's one option. Dbolt's P47_150gal_drop.
Any opinions?
That looks great.
Attaching some info that may help.

Thank you for those Milt.
Looks like the choices are between 75, 150, or 165 gallons. The ones in the picture are the 165's.
BTW, the 20 mm pylon mounted cannon, pretty interesting. Never saw that one before. The predecessor of the gun pod you might say.
Well, Thanks Again,
Dave

Dv_XP_47J Texture Question?
Cough!Hack! Cough!
Ahem! Phew! Excuse me but this thread is so old I breathed-in dust when I opened it!
This post is aimed at Dave or Morton or anybody who might know.
I have been updating and playing around with my Republic P-47 hangar recently.
The process involves going through the AC packages along with their related skin packs and fleshing-out the aircraft.cfg file titles and descriptions so that they more fully describe the personal/locational details of each AC in its various skin versions.
WRT Dv_XP_47J package let me say first of all that the AC is a great looking AC and behaves very nicely in the air. No worries along those lines.
However, the descriptive details and so on are a tad, well, on the thin side. :^)
Am I right in thinking that very few if any of these AC were ever actually flown in active service and therefore the textures included in the pack are most likely purely fictional? Or were they actually active duty AC?
The textures included are the default"Olive Fights Back" texture and three others: 73 OTU; Duxford Eagle; and SEAC.
The only title included in the aircraft.cfg file is the not too informative "title=XP-47J". :^)
I don't mind digging around and coming up for historical details for actual squadron and serial number markings but I'd rather spare myself the effort if this plane never went into production and never actually flew on active service.
If that's the case, then I will give them titles such as;
title=Republic XP-47J Superbolt "Olive-Fights-Back"
title=Republic XP-47J Superbolt "73 OTU" - I think this is 73rd Operational Training Unit, RAF, Fayid-Egypt, Autumn1944. No XP-47J attached
title=Republic XP-47J Superbolt "Duxford Eagle" - I think the 78th Fighter Group (P-47s and P-51s) was stationed at Duxford during the war called themselves the Duxford Eagles. Don't think any XP-47Js were in the mix.
title=Republic XP-47J Superbolt "SEAC" - Pretty sure this one is attached to RAF SEAC (South East Asia Command?) 1944-45. Need to come up with a passable squadron and group number. But again no XP-47J attached.
Anyway, guess what I am asking is were any of these skins actually ever a working skin for an actual serving XP-47J?
Thanks,
MR

Thanks BC.
Yeah, I had also seen basically the same write-up at a couple of other websites.
However, no matter. After doing some more research I believe I will go ahead and pretend that the XP-47J did see service- this is a simulator after all, and re-title the 4 AC included in the pack:
title=Republic XP-47J "Superbolt" "Olive Fights Back" 84-FS 78-FG 8th-AF Duxford1943-45
title=Republic XP-47J "Superbolt" 73rd Op-Training-Unit RAF Fayid-Egypt Autum1944
title=Republic XP-47J "Superbolt" 82-FS 78-FG 8th-AF Duxford-AB 1943-45
title=Republic XP-47J "Superbolt" 134-S RAF-SEAC Arakan-Burma 1943-45
Based on research into the squadron markings and so forth.
Again thanks for taking the time to supply the link.

Ummm...i thought that was SOP on our ship?
That's what makes it so much fun, eh?
While we are at it, here are screenies of all four pretend versions of the XP-47J. Nice looking rigs, eh?
Thanks Dave, Milton and everyone else concerned!
Cheer,

A few screenies of Dave and Milton's Republic XP-72 "Ultrabolt"-
The first 2 show the default skin which turns out to be that of a Douglas A-1 Skyraider (Unit ID: TT-314) belonging to the 602nd AIR-COMMANDO-SQUADRON, 34th-Tactical-Group, Vietnam-Thailand 1966-1969
The second 2 show the included Viet Nam Air Force skin. It seems to be taken from some non-specific unit of the Viet Nam Air Force, most likely also a A-1 Skyraider, identified only by a partial hull number of 42072.
These two packages, the XP-47J and the XP-72, are both really nice packages. Very robust! Thanks to all involved.
Cheers,
MR

These from 2014, but since you brought it up, i guess this is a good occasion for a replay...
