Saxman

First of all, I think it's a cool bit of immersion that in VR you can actually stand up in the cockpit. I did it last night after landing aboard the carrier to watch the other planes come in, and I could almost FEEL my hand on the canopy frame for balance. Or being able to lean around the windscreen when the canopy is open (especially with how the sound of the engine/propeller and wind changes). The problem is, the pilot's head view doesn't appear to be getting properly restricted when the canopy is CLOSED. It's possible to put your head through it if you lean far enough to the side (I haven't checked yet to see if you can still "stand").

The detent doesn't work. Whether because it's not set up yet, or by design. If you go into the control bindings for the Corsair, there's a separate bindings for Water Injection On and Injection Off. These need to be assigned to either a keyboard button, or a button on your HOTAS (I programmed virtual buttons on my CH quadrant so I could bind it to throttle position).

The new patch significantly improves stability, especially in the yaw axis. She's no longer fishtailing all over the sky, but rudder authority is still strong (as it should be considering it's a big honkin' rudder).

Correct.

ADI is implemented, it's just not being tied to the throttle like it's supposed to be and is instead a separate button press. At least it wasn't before the patch. If they changed that it wasn't in the notes.

It's SUPPOSED to be tied directly to the throttle, but that's now how it is in the module. M3 made it a separate key press. And if he's only getting 54in MAP at 20,000ft he's NOT on ADI.

Ok, so you don't have injection on. That's a separate key press. So you're maxing out and Military power, not WEP.

For the R-2800-8W it should be Auto-Rich for takeoff, but otherwise leave it in Auto-Lean.

Injection on or off?

Keep in mind it's a HUGE rudder.

Just an FYI, please be careful when presenting these kinds of documents. BuNo. 2155 was a fairly early Birdcage model. In fact it was the third production machine (first production Corsair was BuNo. 2153.

Much better lateral stability. ADI is working now, as well.

Bumping this one again: When the labels are added, (they weren't in this patch) please use yards, rather than meters. Bring the availabe convergence ranges in shorter, between 100 - 400 yards. Also as an addendum: Can we get options for convergence in the Quick Action loadout menu, as well?

Still having no luck with this after update.

283 kts IAS is 342mph TAS at 500ft. That's very close to the 1D's rated speed at sea level (350mph). That could easily be the difference between being even slightly out of trim, or just a bit nose up.

I haven't done any real scientific testing, but ADI appears to now be properly boosting MAP to the right range (now if you're not getting enough power you're probably in the wrong blower setting) and I'm no longer feeling like she's struggling to hold energy, especially in nose-up maneuvering.

Finally got my first chance to try her out, and I answered my own question. ADI is now working and generating full MAP. Handling is MUCH improved, and she no longer bounces all over (I may even turn down my curves/saturation a bit) so gunnery is cleaner. Oh, and THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU for having Quick Action start with guns hot and sight on. I WOULD like an option to set convergence from the Quick Action loadout, unless I'm missing it somewhere.

These are 1As. They didn't have the knuckle pylons. It also gave about a 10mph advantage over the 1D with ADI and the paddle prop.

Is WEP working now? I don't think I've ever consistently seen the MAP hit 60in when injection was on.

He didn't have one plane. In fact almost no Navy or Marine pilots did. With the exception of VF-17 and some CAG birds, you flew whatever plane was available. Some SQUADRONS didn't even have their own aircraft, and instead every group at a base drew from the same pool. Boyington is confirmed to have flown combat missions in three aircraft: 17883: 17740: (Interesting because of the extra national insignia on the underside of the left wing). And he was shot down flying 17915, though I'm not finding any photos of that bird offhand.

I'm agreeing with your question. The biggest problem with the Corsair was that it's not hitting the manifold pressure (+/-60in) and speed numbers it should be (IE 350mph TAS at SL).

Seriously, the engine power/airspeed was the biggest problem.

Shame Boyington never once flew that plane in combat. It was a bird brought in solely for a photo op, and it's the only time he ever sat in it.

There's definitely some issues with the flight model, which may get some fixes in the next patch. She seems to be a bit draggier than she ought to be, and ADI may not be working properly, which robs you of about 250hp (I've never seen MAP consistently hit the 60in you're supposed to get on WEP).

I've tried it in the DCS install folder, (both bin folders) too. One of the troubleshooting steps I was recommended was copying to another location. No matter what location, the built-in install returns that error in the event logs, but never even starts on the front end.
