Ghostrider 147

Been practicing some more field landings in the Hog. I love how much flexibility the Corsair provides here, you can come in for a smooth touchdown on the main gear with 30 degrees of flaps, or absolutely slam it down with 50 degrees flaps like on the carrier!

That’s so cool!

Same problem here, indeed happens only rarely but I was able to save a track file this time! Hard right roll without any aileron/rudder input and in the past I've also noticed one of the main landing gears not retracting when this happens. LastMissionTrack.trk

After the recent update of 17/09 I noticed the new bort number system introduced with the RNZAF liveries is also showing up on all the other USN/USMC liveries, see the screenshot below: Edit: I ran a repair, this issue only happens in the Mission Editor loadout screen after having selected one of the RNZAF skins first. Doesn't seem to appear when actually in game.

Some more carrier landing training in the Corsair aboard the Intrepid The tri-color camouflage is the best-looking livery on a Corsair, in my opinion

This shot is so cool! Never expected a Corsair in desert camouflage to look this good!

Your RNZAF liveries look absolutely gorgeous in DCS, they really capture the beat-up look of these machines really nicely! Thanks for the heads-up btw, I'm gonna enjoy roaming around the DCS skies with these liveries

Wow those are some gorgeous looking skins, and great screenshots btw! Are these liveries in DCS User Files?

A few more shots, been having some fun doing short field landing practice at RAF Hawkinge in the FAA Corsair

Can I just say how cool it is that Magnitude 3 included a proper FAA variant of the Corsair?

More carrier landing practice aboard the Intrepid!

Some landing practice on the USS Intrepid! Carrier landings in the Hog will never be boring

No please don't think I'm accusing you of being a noob, I never meant my message to sound that way, apologies! I just figured a track file would help to see where exactly things go wrong because currrently I'm not experiencing any engine issues, I just did a 30 minute hop in the Corsair, almost all the time at full mil power (50-54 inHg MP at 2700 RPM) doing some aerobatics practice and the engine ran perfectly fine. I kept my cowl flaps at about 20% open and I kept the oil and intercooler flaps at about 50% open. Oil and cylinder head temperatures never exceeded their limits. I think a track file would help, since you are experiencing issues, it seems your engine is overheating when it really shouldn't be. Just trying to help!

Please attach a track file, so far a bunch of other people were having the same problem, but they were really overheating their engines because they didn't properly open up their oil cooler flaps. Magnitude 3 updated the engine behaviour and damage model in the last update making it more sensitive to higher temperatures I believe. Lots of things to take into account when flying the Hog

Your oil temperature is way over the maximum limits. When flying slow, like when on carrier approaches, make sure to open your oil cooler flaps about 30 to 50%. Your engine blew here because it overheated. Other than that nice landing btw

Blackburn's Irregulars Thanks to Magnitude 3 for the bug fixes of today's update!

I totally agree. Creating WWII missions with accurate and realistic AI units is a lot more fun than without. These 3D models don't create themselves and I'm more than happy to pay a little contribution!
