BINGO!! That was it. Without the P47 folder of POV mods, it gets back to normal.
Ok - so what mod should I install then to enjoy full version of Thunder?
POV or P47 cockpit?

P47 cockpit mod is what I have. If you go with the POV, then your right back where you were before, I would think. I will try to figure out why this one isnt working with POVs.

Edit:
It uses a stock cockpit from the P-47D-10.

Thanks for this, but a question...
Quote
As fake as it sounds, this plane really existed. It was an attempt to lighten the aircraft to make it faster by removing 2 guns and replacing the 4 blade propeller with a 3 blade. After about a couple of months in service, it was decided to revert back to the 4 blade and 8 guns due to performance reasons.
I think P-47B was the first production Razorback model but looks like later models, I didn't knew about the three bladed model you did but may be it existed, why you say it's a fake?

Actually there was an A model as well that was a razorback too, but it had a door like on the P-39s. The reason why I say about the fake, is because if you look around the net on images (like some will), you see P-47Bs all had 8 guns and 4 blades. you would have to dig deep on the net to find this one. It was long ago when I found the info on this one. It was delivered this way to a squadron. while the idea to lighten the bird was good, they claimed that proformance was under what the other versions were.

So they went back to using 4 blades and 8 guns. Its an unsung warbird version.

I rest my case. The website I saw had no pics of what it looked like. only discriptions. The only 3 blade pic I found was the first picture.

As for the antenna, Yes, I will fix that.
