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 version is armed with 8 5-inch HVAR (High Velocity Aircraft Rockets) as well as 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.**
Hold X/Invert steering: Fold wings.
L/Headlights: Approach light.
K/Hazard lights: Sight light.
Fire action 1/Num 1: Machine guns.
Fire action 2-5/Num 2-5: Rockets in pairs.
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!

Here's a link to the verion you should be using:

And yes taking off is nearly impossible even with this one but that has nothing to do with my plane and everything to do with dodgy in-game physics.

Well maybe try to use the planes that are made for 1.3 and later versions of the game. If you use this one that is for 1.2 when the aerodynamics and physisc were completely different and thus planes behaved very differently of course they suck.

honestly all of your planes suck

Thanks for a 1200+ subs to this one, sadly the new update has killed it more efficiently than a carrier full of Zeros. 😕

ain't the amazing

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. :)
