Fw190A-4 controls

Post by BobSmall »

Just a couple of minor things.

1) Both the checklist and the handbook reference the Avionics Master Switch on the left rear console. This is correct for the FuG7 radio in the A1-3, but is wrong for the A-4. The A-4 changed to the FuG16 radio. The Avionics Master Switch for the FuG16 is in the right rear console.

2) Both of the fuel pump indicators have the wrong "hint". They display the hint for the turn coordinator.

3) Took me a while to find the gear/flap indicator switch. The Handbuch (page 16) is missing a callout for the gear/flap indicator switch.

Oh, good catch on the fuel pump indicator tooltip, missed that. Thanks!
As for the other two things, it's hinted at in the checklist. Admitterable it's somewhat hidden in the text though.

The fuel pump switch tooltips could be worded a bit better

Switch #1 reads "Fuel pump switch (off)" and "Fuel pump switch (on)" for off and on respectively
Switch #2 reads "Fuel pump 2" for both on and off

Suggestion

Switch #1 reads "Fuel pump switch 1 (off)" and "Fuel pump switch 1 (on)" for off and on respectively
Switch #2 reads "Fuel pump switch 2 (off)" and "Fuel pump switch 2 (on)" for off and on respectively
