-Now compatible with both early and late model P-47s

Aircraft "S" Serial number 42-27339 from the 82nd Fighter Squadron as it would of appeared when the squadron was assigned to Duxford, c. 1944.
Enjoy!!!!

After World War 2, the Swiss Air Force purchased American surplus aircrafts like 40 North American AT-16 Harvard IIB and 130 North American P-51D Mustang. Unfortunately, no Republic P-47 Thunderbolt was bought.

This skin is a "What if the Swiss Air Force would have bought some Republic P-47 Thunderbolt" and therefore the skin is based on the Swiss AT-16 and P-51 of the same time.

IIAF Imperial Iranian Air Force F-47D Serial No. 262

Enjoy!

French P-47 E.C. 2-2 Alsace 1948

Just Dogfight with Warbirds on Caucasus. Air start....labels... no WWII assets required.

A simple Capture the Base mission.
To prevent clients from spawning on red captured bases, you must run as MP and use the SimpleSlotBlock script by ciribob!
Feel free to modify by adding additional ground targets, random AI traffic or triggers to spawn side missions.

I enjoy creating unusual missions that are somewhat realistic. In this mission, you are piloting a classic warbird, a P-47D over Nevada, trying to get to Laughlin for a refueling stop, then on to the next airshow. Unfortunately, there's some trouble in the air and you end up lost. Now you must find your way without the aid of a compass. Can you regain your bearings and make it to Laughlin before running out of fuel? Good luck!

ThrustMaster Cougar Profile for DCS World P-47D
v1.0 by Rudel-Chw (Eduardo Ahumada, Antofagasta, Chile)
Jun / 2020

Software:
Profile tested with DCS World 2.5; driver Thrustmaster 2007_HCO_Vista_64_RC1; Foxy 4.2
Instructions for installing these softwares are here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=181049

Cougar Mode:
After downloading the Profile into the Cougar memory, make sure that on the Cougar Control Panel the mode "Button & Axis emulation" is ON (green).

Where to put the Files:
Put the four files of this Profile, on the folder  Program Files (x86)\HOTAS\Files.

Headtracking:
This Profile is designed to be used along with Headtracking. It has no buttons setup for view control.

Rudder Pedals
Since I dont have Rudder pedals, I've designed this profile so that the ANT rotary can be assigned as Rudder, since it's easy to control using your thumb. Assign the Axis on Option-Controls within DCS.

If you detect a bug with this Profile, please report it on this Forum thread: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=277119

I'm setting up a series of basic training missions to get the hang of the P47.
The missions will be increasing in difficulty. A successful landing is required to complete the missions.
In further missions, often a hot start will be used to save time.

The first mission is a full setup, start and landing.
Formation flying is an important skill to have.
