A2A/Aircraft Factory F4U Corsair on sale today $12.49 (US)

[PRB]

We offered it. A2A dissed that one and used their own. (no offense)

Rgr that, my bad. In any case it is available...

As an artist, I can say that its almost impossible to make a 100% accurate model within budget. Errors like this need to be pointed out early. This late, its very unlikley that they would get fixed, but they seem like simple fixes (all but the canopy stuff). Rivit counters make my job more interesting :salute:

Nice screenshot Jankees!

:ernae:

Looks like one awesome deal to me.

What a wild fighter they were. Did you know they used them in Korea as well?

I am not an expert on the Corsair but I have seen many at airshows. I have had several by various developers and this Corsair is just fine. I have it and love it. I was dying for a good Corsair in FSX that wasn't a port over.

I do hope this thread can stay civil!

Yup, Marines and navy used them in Korea. Marines loved them for close airsupport.

Greetings,

I just downloaded this aircraft for my son to play with. For the life of me I can't figure out where the manual is. With the download all I got is the link and an application file which goes right to the install. Can someone please help me out?

cbreeze its pretty easy to find the manual. Open your C drive folder then go to the program file folder, once you have the program file opened, look for microsoft games, open that folder and the open the Flight Sim X folder. You should then see the Aircraft Factory folder, open it and the manual should be appear in a PDF file.

They offered to provide the alternate flight model made by Fliger747 to anyone who wasn't happy with the one shipped.

Interesting, I would like to try this. IMO this FM is much too simplified. Can this alternative FM be downloaded from somewhere?

TIA

Well... I like it.

I like it too, and I suspect that at least some of the 'dislike' is coloured by politics and personalities. Whatever, it's a good model that captures this big and challenging fighter very well. I don't think it ever quite recovered from its 'budget' label which is a shame - with some crisper textures (Jankees has done some beauties) it sits very nicely alongside the Vertigo F6F in my hangar.

I will just say that there are a number of errors in the modeling, but it is the only FSX native F4U at this time. I do recommend enjoying it for what it is. That is what I do and I do not feel comfortable saying anything more.

This Aircraft-Factory was my favorite airplane for a long time and still be my pet warbird

That's good tactics! I imagine if you feel very strongly about a certain aircraft or know it quite well then you'll look a little deeper. For me the AF Corsair looks, sounds and flies enough like one to convince this interested observer.

Still too expensive for this thing...A2A unworthy period...:salute:

You know, if you are going to throw a wet blanket on something then at least come out with some facts to back up the statement!

I really grow so tired of this!

I don't have any relationship to the company who made it. But, the screen shots looked very accurate to me and I've seen Corsairs up close in person.

And all too often, when people complain about flight dynamics, it is based on a mistaken concept for how the actual aircraft flew. For example, if you tried to go around from a low approach and applied full power, you'll flip over on your back and crash. I've heard customers call that "bad flight dynamics!" Well, there were a lot of young pilots killed in real life by that "bad flight dynamic." Unfortunately for them, it was entirely realistic and accurate!

[Ken Stallings]

For the record, I just purchased it and flew it. From my perspective, it's one of the absolute best values for FSX aircraft in many years!

I was very positively impressed by it.

Yes, I did land it the first try. Yes, I did bounce!

I may be wrong here, but I think you misunderstood him. I believe Kolin was saying that he didn't, in fact, have anything to do with this one.
