Vought F4U-1A Corsair 1.3 by Uncle T

FOR VERSION 1.3!
My version of the Vought F4U-1A Corsair carrier-based fighter.
Compared to the F4U-4 this has a slightly weaker engine and thus is slightly lower top speed, and it has the three-bladed propeller.

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

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.

Have fun!
