Corsair inbound!

Well observed John!

Devs are aware and this will be fixed and included in an update along with a few more fixes and features.

I noticed that the steps in the fuselage are on the wrong side as well. I have the feeling that somehow the left and right textures became mixed in the adaptation for MSFS, the current left side of the fuselage texture seems perfect for the right side and vice versa, and something similar is going on with the F4U_EXT_5 & 6 textures, where a black rectangle for the step in the flaps is also on the wrong texture sheet, similar to the bootprints. I have adapted them for these last paints.

Any Brits bought this beauty and if so what was the currency conversion?
 
Finally had a decent session with the Corsair last night. She flies beautifully, but man what a handful on takeoff! I still haven’t had a successful smooth takeoff. Even when trimmed she will pull, and if too much rudder is applied, I lose it.
 
Well I am priced out on getting the Corsair. But I can't really get excited about any of the aircraft I have seen yet due to lack of depth in gameplay/simulation.

IMO there needs to be more of a separation between the default aircraft and an add-on aircraft before I am willing to spend 2/3rd the price of the whole game on one aircraft, especially when the game comes with 20 aircraft.


$40 will be a good start to saving for better flight controls or VR.
 
Jeez, not another one of those 'it is too expensive and not enough in-depth' posts.
You can't have it both ways, cheaper and more systems modelling.
So yes, the sim comes with 20 aircraft, but not a single intersting one, for me anyway, so I am exceedingly happy with this beautiful Corsair and the Spitfire. If it is too expensive, don't buy it. If it is too simple, don't buy it. If you think default is good enough, don't buy it, but all this nagging wears me down..

Meanwhile, another paint I just uploaded:

At least nobody can complain about the price of my repaints...

Well, sorry Major, but this addon has engine failure, advanced flight model and so forth modelled. It is more than worth the price. I wonder what more depth you are looking for. An attractive blonde female crew chief? Sorry, that is AI, not yet really present in this sim. And no other sim I might add.

Kind regards,

Lt. Jan

Priller, let's face it; hot women sell hot planes and I have yet to see one in any advertisement for the Corsair. So maybe you have hit on the real problem I have. I am sure plenty of people have and will be happy getting the plane at $40 and I hope the Developer makes a ton of money and is motivated to crank out even more products because it only helps competition and spurs improvement in everyone's products. Trust me, I will keep an eye on the Corsair and future sales or price reductions as it is in my #1 slot at the moment for best payware aircraft for MSFS. -MajorSpittle Jankees- I never realized I was Nagging you. Are you the one that made/sells the Corsair? I did not mean my statement as a knock on the Corsair, it is a beautiful aircraft and probably simulated about as deep as MSFS 2020 will allow at this moment ( I am not a developer so I have no idea can only compare to other products released at this time ).I would love to have the aircraft, but just giving the developer feed back as to why I passed on it and what I am looking for in add-on aircraft. I don't expect my opinion to be universal, but I imagine it is difficult to develop and market products without customer feedback. I know when I played FSX for years I had bought tons of discounted payware aircraft at Fry's Electronics for next to nothing and after spending about $90 on payware aircraft that was only downloadable I came to the realization that for me there was nowhere near the value in the aircraft for me with the exception of two that breathed new life into FSX and felt like buying a whole game in themselves. Anyway, I have no idea what a developer's time and cost is to produce aircraft x,y,z..... nor do I care. I am just a MSFS player and potential customer to some developers here. If my opinion is unwanted or not allowed on this forum I have no problem not sharing my opinions or giving feedback, which kind of makes being a member of the forum pointless....................................... edit........... I have no idea why my post runs all together without spaces or line breaks.
 
Got, love it. Dream to fly once trimmed out but a handful on take off and landing (as already said). Got to go, need to paint the underside of a Corsair wing. Some nut scraped it all up on landing. :dizzy:

LouP
 
You can't really look at MSFS add-ons in the same way you look at stand-alone games in price, but that's an economic and market scale argument that's been rehashed for 20 years and which doesn't belong here.

I'd love to see repaints of a couple of Pacific NW USA FG-1Ds, if you're looking for subjects, Jankees.

I just posted some shots to the requests section of FlightSim.to if you're looking for inspiration. :)

After spending sometime with this Corsair, I have to say wow! This Corsair is unlike any other Virtual Corsair I have "flown", and that is both a good thing, and a frustrating thing. I'll compare and contrast with the P3D version of Milviz's Corsair.

The good? The founds and modeling (inside and out) are just wonderful. The P3D version is nice, but the MSFS version kicks it up a serious notch. The same goes with the sound. I also appreciate the system modeling. I haven't blown an engine, but then again, I also pay attention to the CHT and oil temp gauges. In the air, she feels just wonderful!

The frustrating thing? The low-level handling. Principally on takeoff. I have a pair of MFG crosswinds I am still getting used to, but what I still can't get over is that if I even think about touching right rudder to correct on takeoff, it just starts an unholy uncontrollable (at worst) train-wreck to the left where no enough rudder can save me, let alone stop me from scraping wings. Or (at best) one H-E-double hockey-sticks of a ride that sends me careening off in to the grass, then scrambling to get back to the runway. Forget just slightly meandering around the runway to find centerline like I sometimes do in the P3D version, I'm struggling to just maintain the runway with the MSFS version! The MSFS MILVIZ Corsair feels like I'm riding a mad bull, where as the P3D MILVIZ CORSAIR feels like a gentle Clydesdale by contrast.

I'll enjoy flying 'er, but honestly I'm caring less and less about figuring "perfection" at takeoff, and just hoping that wrestling with 'er will get me off the ground!
 
Those having problems taking off and landing, watch this 10 minute video. This guy's advice worked for me, I can now take off and land without being virtually killed or maimed. It still requires more focus than any other airplane I've flown in the sim - but then, that's probably true of the Corsair in real life. "Ensign Eliminator" indeed. If all else fails, you can turn on "takeoff assistance" in the MSFS general options/assistance menu and get off the ground, but that won't help you land.

The Flying Heritage & Combat Armor Museum's FG-1D is the most authentically-restored FG-1D Corsair. It is painted with original-spec lacquer paint, to original factory specifications. The overall airframe, as per original, is finished in Glossy Sea Blue, while there is also an anti-glare shied, as per original, which is Non-Specular Sea Blue (not flat black, as some unknowing sources have claimed). The aircraft iteself is a Pacific Theatre combat-vet, and is painted in the same unit markings it served with during WWII.

Aaah, John, where would we be without you!
Saw so many pics, and completely missed that anti-glare panel (same with G-FGID btw). I was too focused on figuring out what all the little stencils were saying, unfortunately to no avail. They're just too small. Maybe you can help with those too? And is the registration N700G marked anywhere? I could not find it.

Meanwhile, anti-glare panel:
