Awesome, I really like the Bagram area, and this is a very nice addition to the airfield. I wish more love was coming to this map. Thanks for your effort.

Interested as well. Hope your discord will come up anytime soon.

Hi everyone, I’ve been flying the F4U Corsair recently in DCS and I’m really enjoying the aircraft, but I’m struggling a bit with bombing effectively—especially with understanding and using the aiming reticle properly. So far, I’ve tried a few dive bombing runs, but my accuracy is inconsistent. I’ve also experimented with different dive angles and release altitudes, but I’m not sure if I’m doing it correctly, or even using the right technique for the F4U. Could anyone share some tips, techniques, or best practices for bombing in the Corsair? Specifically: What’s the correct way to use the aiming reticle for bombs? What dive angle and altitude work best? Any recommended bomb types or loadouts for training? Is there a preferred airspeed or release timing to keep in mind? Any help or pointers—whether it’s a written guide, video tutorial, or personal advice—would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance and happy flying!

Great series Reflected, very useful and also looking forward to your campaign

I completely overlooked them. I was looking for wheel brakes instead of gear brakes. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Thanks for all the replies. I guess it had something to do with my RPM setting. Getting it around 750 helped, and no issues now. Would be nice to have axis bindings for the wheel brakes.

I’ve been trying to master the cold start procedure for the F4U Corsair, but I’ve run into a recurring issue and could use some help. Every time I go through the cold start—whether in the “Cold Start” training mission or the “Instant Action Cold Start”—the engine seems to start just fine initially. However, as soon as I push the mixture control forward (toward full rich), the engine dies almost immediately. I’m clearly doing something wrong in the procedure, but I can’t quite figure out what it is. I’ve reviewed the steps multiple times and tried varying the timing and order, but the result is always the same: mixture forward = engine quits. Has anyone experienced this before or does anyone have any idea what I might be missing? Any help, tips, or tricks would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Rudel, I’ve tried to find your T-45 training missions in the user files but can’t find them. Do you have a link. Much appreciated.

Thanks, I’m using openmod manager, maybe someone benefits from your reply

DCS won't start. Got the first screen, but after I click on the "DCS launch button" it disappears and DCS won't start. Did a cleanup and repair. dcs.log Update: it seems that the "HighDigitSAMs" mod is interfering somehow.
