I really suggest ya´ll head to A2A site

We, here at Milviz, are very proud of the release of the Milviz/A2A F4u-1A/C/D. We'd like to thank all of those involved including our team of modelers (K and C), our gauge people (S and C) and our FM dude... (T).

Though not all elements made it into the final product, in the end, it's still a team effort and we're glad and proud to have been a part of it.

Once again, thanks for your hard work! And look for more work from us, Milviz, the suppliers of the best looking models on the market today!

As well, we hope all further releases under the Aircraft Factory label are as well produced and as well received as their inaugural contribution.

I had the privilage to help beta test it and all I can say is... it's maaavalous. :d Once you get it trimmed out, it's sweet to fly. Lands like a lady too. But two things... read the manual and follow the check lists. ;)
 
I hope there will be a paintkit... only 3 liveries is not much. Overall it's a great plane, but above all it's a Corsair so i could not resist... i'm glad i did not! :jump:
 
I'm sure a paint kit will be out soon. There are 3 paints I'd like to see.... Sky Boss and Marines Dream. Only because they are based close by and I see them at MAAM's WWII Weekend. The third is Pappy Boyington's Corsair.
 
AAAAAAaargh! After the Vulcan and Hellcat, I wasn't going to buy any more planes until that payware Connie came out.

Now I'm about to go spend money again. ;)
 
Thank's for the heads up, just downloaded, looks like a good aircraft.
 
She's a beautiful Old Warbird!! the cockpit controls are really smooth!!It's fantastic all the way around!!

I love it but it would have been nice to see the Pilots arms and legs move - not just his head . The lack of animation is very noticable in that cockpit.

So, not A2A staff then.
 
Maybe I was expecting too much based on the comments here, but this is certainly a budget aircraft. I was very impressed by the Hellcat textures and bump maps which were almost photoreal but the textures on this one are not to my liking at all, and look a bit cartoony. The engine sounds are not to my liking either, not only the recordings but also the way 30" MP sounds closer to idle to than a cruise setting. The flight model has a pleasing feel as far as flight goes, though when the engine sounds are so far off from the power setting it spoils my enjoyment. Over all the purchase was not for me, but not everybody is so demanding!

I know what you mean about the textures and that is a good description - I have a feeling that those fantastic repaint artists that grace themselves on these forums will make this one look right - Its a lot better in sim that in the screenshots.

At least this product allows me to have the selfshadowing on without my FPS dropping to single figures "like wot" the Hellcat does!!

I have found that the FS warbird simmer is a lot less demanding on how an aircraft looks and flies than a combat sim enthusiast. I think the problem lies in the fact that in FS if it looks decent for screenshots then the average FS simmer is more than happy. So many FS warbird addons over the years have had utterly attrocious FMs. Yet still FS simmers think they are amazing. If aircraft performance is out by the same massive amount in a combat sim then the combat sim enthusiast will not be a happy simmer and they will let the developer know it! So I think you are correct when you state "not everybody is so demanding!". At least not in FS9/FSX warbird circles.

The Milviz team along with help from the A2A team of 3D modelers, FM programmers and the excellent A2A beta testers put in a lot of work over the past few weeks. There was a lot of work improving the FM to improve the feel of the Corsair, and the 3D model was tweaked to maximise FPS. A big effort from Milviz and A2A and went into ensuring the Aircraft Factory Corsair was more than just a budget release that looked like a Corsair.

All round a great team effort from all invovled.
