Description
FOR VERSION 1.2!
It's now fully made of oak and some aluminium instead of mainly foam, some oak and some aluminium and it flies pretty well albeit a little like an RC-plane.

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

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

This version is armed with 8 500 lb bombs 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: Bombs 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!

Uploaded a compromise version with two bigger guns hidden in the nose and two regular magineguns in each wing, with the fake cannons mounted on tthe wings where they should be. That's the best I can do with the guns being so frikkin huge.

Yeah sorry just done some testing but the bigger machineguns/autocannons are just too big to fit in the wings, it looks like absolute crap. Feel free to add them yourself if you want to.

BTW the tri-colour paint scheme was standard for all Corsairs for a while, not just the version with cannons, but as I said I'll see what I can do. 🙂

Problem is the bigger guns (that I normally use for 20-30mm cannons) don't fit in the wings, but I'll see if I can come up with something.

I'll have a look tomorrow.

Thanks could you add non-explosive cannons just because this is the paint job for that. (You don't have to just bigger guns is all, and with out bombs with this paint job.)
