Description
My version of the Vought F4U-4 Corsair carrier-based fighter.

It's an approximation, not a 1:1 replica.

EDIT!
The game does not like this plane design and its aerodynamics for some reason but I've tweaked it as best I can to make it fly reasonably well.

This is the pure fighter version armed with 6 .50 caliber machine guns (I use double machine guns to somewhat emulate the power of the .50 cal).

Alt controls to fly.
W/S: Variable throttle.
S: Ground brake.
A/D: Ground steering/Yaw. *
Up/Down arrow: Pitch.
Left/Right arrow: Roll.
X/Disable steering: Landing gear.**
L/Headlights: Approach light.
K/Hazard lights: Sight light.
Hold X/Invert steering: Fold wings.
Fire action 1/Num 1: Machine guns.
Fire action 8/Num 8: Arrestor hook.

*I do not know why it often tends to veer off course so badly on the ground above 90-100kph. I've changed the landing gear several times, added extra stabilising fins internally etc. but nothing seems to help. Sorry about that.

**The real gear turned the wheels 90 degrees so they would lie flat inside the wing. I use the max steering angle of 60 degrees to simulate this. The only way to get them 90 degrees is with an actuator, but adding rotating actuators to the landing gear makes them very wobbly so this will have to suffice.

Feel free to edit, but if you re-upload publically in any way please acknowledge the original creation and creator.

Have fun!

I will most likely take a break from making more things because of health issues (and having made a high number of planes in the last few weeks so I feel a bit burned out).
If you have any suggestions (and can be polite about it) feel free to leave comments on my vehicles and I might put them on my to-do list for the future.
Have fun with my planes. :)
