Quickstart Manual Errata

Post errors, typos, and suggested corrections for the P-51D Quickstart manual here.

Last page shows A-10C graphics.

The StartUp procedure makes no mention of setting the Oil and Coolant Air flaps to Auto (I don't know how important that is yet but...).

It also does not mention moving the Prop/Engine RPM lever forward, without which, guessing here, it would take longer to develop take off speed, assuming you could in the length of the runway.

Page 29 it's written "Press [6] to cycle switch to SINGLE" (talking about Bomb-Rocket Selector Switch).

But in the default options, the key for it is [8].

Page 29 it's written "Press [6] to cycle switch to SINGLE" (talking about Bomb-Rocket Selector Switch).

 

But in the default options, the key for it is [8].

I assume this is the text you are refering to:

 To fire rockets singly, set the Bomb-Rocket Selector Switch to SINGLE and press the Bomb-Rocket Release button on the control stick once for each rocket. Press [6] to cycle switch to SINGLE.

 

The key is wrong but so is the name of the switch.

 

The name of the switch should be Rockets Release Control Switch and then the right button is [8].

 

The bulleted paragraph immediately below has the same switch nomenclature error.

 

 To fire all rockets in train (ripple), set the Bomb-Rocket Selector Switch to AUTO and the Bomb-Rocket Release button depressed for approximately one second while the rockets are fired. Press [Right Alt + Space].

On the bottom of page 20 is step number 6 of the startup procedure.

6- Press red Control Lock button to free stick control.

and at the top of page 22 is another step number 6.

6- Move the Throttle Handle forward one inch. Press [Numpad +].

Starting at the top of page 22 the sequence needs to be renumbered but since there is at least a couple steps missing, mentioned here, it will happen anyway.
