If you get the new dampers you can turn down your spring tension and get it to remain in place. I would not recommend the Jet or FBW cams, but the mild cams. It has three different collars to limit the travel of the stick. (Sm, Med, Lg) I've got the new curved extension and its nice, but I went back to my older 200mm extension. It's also easy to calibrate after changing cams, springs, and especially the travel collar, and no software necessary. But I do recommend you download the latest drivers to get the Thrustmaster Control Panel in your START menu for Firmware updates, TARGET is not required unless you want to map profiles. You should see if the base is now available with the new dampers when it's purchased new. I would not buy the FBW cams if all you fly is Helo's

Fuel Tank Control knob, magneto switch settings are still not mapped, still +/-, Rocket switches still the same. And the biggest issue is the taxing issue. Really exasperating to taxi the aircraft to take off, it really ruins the whole experience before you even get started. Rudder Trim is still too erratic compared to all the other planes, but it does act like the Mosquito's elevator trim it jumps when you get to a certain point, as if you have gone over a steep hill. The Corsair acts like you have kicked the rudder when you get to a certain point getting the ball back to center. And I have pots for trim control not using the stick's trim hat.

Some Marine squadrons are still flying the C/D. The pod is called the ATFLIR... Advanced Targeting FLIR. It replaced the old TFLIR... We used to repair the legacy TFLIR at Boeing's Avionics Repair Facility at NAS Lemoore, but lost the contract for it when the ATFLIR came out. And never got the new contract for the updated version. The ARF is still there repairing RADAR, (65, 73) FCES, (RPYC), FIRAMS (SDC, IFEI), HSD, UFC, CLIPs, BADSA,......... Not sure how much longer the Marines will fly the C/D. The ARF has been there since 1982, when I was first stationed there in the Navy. I retired in June 2021 from the ARF.

10⁰ down or up trim.... lol

You didn't look at the Official Events feed. There is a mission going on right now for the European group, and there will be one for the American and Canadian contingent this afternoon at 1700 PDT. We had one on the 10th and another on the 5th. There are numerous missions throughout the week, posted in that thread, that you can sign up for and participate in. There are no restrictions for U.S. and Canadian players to fly the European missions, and vice versa. The server is continuously running, but password-protected. I would direct you to my other DCS gang I fly with if you flew more than warbirds, but we do fly them as well. WWII, Korean-inspired (Corsair, Sabre, MiG-15), Cold War, and Modern Jets. That's the Addicted to DCS group, "AtD". They fly Tues, Thurs, and Saturday at 1900 PDT. Their server is not up all the time, and it is password-protected when it is. And they are a carrier-based group, flying F/A-18, F-14, F-4, A-4E, F4U's from carriers, and we have some who like to fly the Harrier, and F-16. There are also some twisted individuals who fly Egg-beaters.... The AtD boss is an ex-Army helo pilot, and retired Erickson's Skycrane pilot. You would learn a lot in either group. Sorry you passed up the 58th.... However, I can send you a Discord invite to AtD if you'd like, via PM....... aka AG-51... When the F6F comes out, we will be flying it as VF-51 off the USS San Jacinto as soon as they make Escort Carriers.. LOL. They have their F-4 and F-14s in VF-51 colors, too.

I've got two Battle Es. One from VA-94, And one from the Enterprise, 1986, 1988 WESTPACS. Which ever squadron wins the Battle E at NAS Lemoore gets to paint the static display Hornet at the main gate in their squadron colors each year. AIRPAC inspections play a major part in winning. AIRLANT on the East coast. So you need to have your shiznit all in one sock, and remember where you keep it. Sustained Superior Performance all year.........because one awe shiznit erases a thousand attaboys.....

Battle of the Philippines Sea, Surigao Straits, San Bernardino Straits, Okinawa... Korean Peninsula. Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand.

A-20G is good for ETO and PTO. P-38L, same situation...

Battle of the Philippine Seas, Surigao Straits, San Bernardino Straits.... Or Okinawa....

@-Rudel- LOL, who died and left you in charge..... Next, we don't use Voice Attack, and it's not required of us to do so. Who all is "WE" pray tell... are you speaking for everyone?...... You might want to run that past the people who use Voice Attack, along with VIACOM for the F-14, F-4, AH-64, or anything else with a Jester, Phester, Petrovich, George, or any other Tom, Dick, or Harry in the back seat that you need to relay commands to or get information from.... Not to mention call outs to the Tower, Tanker, Ship, Ground Crew, and any other entity you need to interact with, without taking your hands off your HOTAS. The funny thing is, the Comms push to talk (Call Radio menu) RAlt + \, actually pushes the mic button on the throttle like the VOIP command does when pushed. The \ does not. Certain universal commands should be uniform among all the modules, and not a hit or miss situation. Attention to detail is a must.. especially when someones money is involved...... That's JMTCW.....

Mines a bit overkill on axis....

I'm no noob when it comes to using the Warbirds in DCS. I've had Lock On or LOMAC since 2003, and I was one of the idiots to go into the Go fund me for the initial warbirds. I learned really early (day one) the Corsair was touchy when it came to overheating. I have treated it like I do the Jug, except I can close the cowls on the Jug and and leave the Oil-cooler and Inter-cooler in neutral, and fly like my hair was on fire, if I had any. So I started doing the same thing with the Corsair, except I usually leave the Cowl flaps at 50% and set the Oil Cooler and Inter-cooler radiators to 50% like I do the Jug, and I never overheated. And all of my gauges were in the green when the engine stopped, I paused the game and looked at them when it seized up twice and the one time I thought I had ran out of fuel in the first 5 minutes of the flight with the engine windmilling. I normally fly at 2300 to 2400 RPM, and 35-45"MP. I hardly ever break the MilPwr throttle wire, there was just no need for it, unless I needed to expedite a One Pass, Haul Ass escape maneuver.

I've got a WW Super Taurus, the Afterburner detente on it stops just before the Corsairs throttle breaks the Military Power wire. Before this last update I never needed to break that wire to take off, or execute most of the mission. All three times my engine quit I had never gone into MILPWR. 2400-2300 RPM and 30 to 45 MP... Cowls around 50%, oil and intercooler at 50% (just like the Jugs Neutral). I had heard lots of complaints about taxing but I always had to be careful not to use too much differential breaking or it would turn way to fast. Now it will not turn left at all while trying to taxi on shore, it'll still do donuts turning right. In case your wondering most of my tests were from the boat, just go straight. I put her on the elevator and she'll be a Hangar Bay Queen for a while.
