Maintenance
Flying KPDK to KDTS yesterday at FL260, cruising along nice and smooth in my P-47 when I start breathing heavily. Immediately I checked the O2 quantity while nosing over 5 degrees and as I suspected, 0 lbs 02 pressure. I had run out of Oxygen not even 40 minutes into my flight. Prop full forward, turbo to idle, throttle to idle, roll over and dive for 12000ft. At 13000ft I began to roll upright, pitch up out of the dive and smoothly leveled off at 10000. Canopy open, breathing calms, and I cruise the rest of the way to DTS at 8000ft. I landed nicely on the mains on runway 14, taxied off and shutdown. Checked the maintenance hangar and it says I have a problem with my oxygen system. Is the only way to fix it by doing a complete overhaul?

Re: Maintenance
Unfortunately, yes. The maintenance panel was a new innovation when the P-47 was released and therefore it is rudimentary compared to the full maintenance hangar for the later Warbirds. P-47 repairs are 'all or nothing.'

Re: Maintenance
I think everything but engine state will reset on it's own each time the aircraft is loaded?

Re: Maintenance
Yes, the P-47 should save these things beyond the engine's state with saved flights I believe. We moved away from this system to being always persistent I believe with the Accu-Sim Spitfire.AviationAtWar wrote: ↑22 Apr 2020, 16:34 I think everything but engine state will reset on it's own each time the aircraft is loaded?
