When you do external view can you see a faint trail of black smoke when you have your axis set to maximum? What is presume is the water injection.

When I’m next on my PC I shall look at the figures I get for RPM. I don’t remember what they were. What I do know is I’ve gone from level flight of 260 kts to 320 kts since discovering this. 320 is more like the published level speed of the Corsair.

You can physically see the RPM lever move 2-3 more inches down, so if it’s a glitch it’s also been graphically modelled as well. also there the smoke that trails from the airplane once the RPM lever drops further as well.

Ah ok thanks for the advice shall try that when I’m next on DCS.

I think you are right in that when I force the throttle further down with the mouse as described on the video on Hind75s post I can see the smoke which I assume is the burning/steaming water, on external views. Its a shame no keybinds seem to work as a workaround for the time being, hopefully a hotfix will address it.

I now see exactly what you mean, just tried it and yes got over 300kts level flight. I tried mapping a button instead of an axis to increase to maximum RPM but that doesn't work seems as though only the mouse increases your RPM to maximum, Throttle axis seems fine though.

Difficult to see in this video so your saying your axis is not able to take your RPM to maximum?

Tried a mission on Marianas doesn’t seem as though you can set temp lower than 20degrees after flying Saipan to Guam started to fly home got to 20000 ft set everything up as everyone has recommended but got 250-260 kts. Obviously I understand altitude has an impact on TAS. However got my wingman to rtb and he just accelerated away from me. so I guess I’m doing something wrong somewhere. overall though I have to say I am loving this module and loving flying over the PTO in WW2 scenarios. It looks stunning.

Yes beta update. Corsair has been added.

thanks for the update

That’s not the point I’m making. The point I was trying to make is that if you have a shortened deck space due to say parked aircraft and you have to lift of or leave the threshold of the deck at the edge of stalling speed you experience a difference, I experienced it and I feel they have modelled that correctly, with a long runway or a nice long carrier deck yes it’s quite straightforward

This was from say mid deck so as i crossed the threshold of the deck I was closer to stall speed. Just listened to a podcast about the F4U and once you get the aircraft to higher speeds by accounts was quite stable. Say a shore based takeoff or a longer deck run. If your slow and apply full throttle like I did I got the torque and snap roll.

Have you taken off from a carrier yet? reason I say that, I took off from a carrier and went full throttle and it flipped me over into a snap roll and went into the sea. That happened a lot with the Corsair and cost many a life. Next time I tried not with full throttle and with a bit of rudder correction once going off the end of the deck had it under control. I agree with you that on shore based takeoffs it’s fairly simple in fact trimmed nicely it just lifts of the ground by itself. Maybe that’s how she was unfortunately I’ve never flown a Corsair so can’t say for sure?

Corsair added soon?

Started a new build mission, carrier only this time its working fine. Bit puzzled I think something in the conditions or an asset or something in my original mission is causing a bug, trying to pinpoint it but so far haven't found the culprit. Thought it may be wind as I know setting wind speeds effects ILS on Caucasus but doesn't appear to be this. Anyway created a new mission and its ok now so far.

Yeah hook is definitely down. I've caught the wire on every attempt in the training mission, done it about 6 times now. Just getting different results from my created miz I'll have another look and go through things again and Try the radio freqs Thanks all.

Completed the tutorial numerous times successfully. However if I add the Essex CVN to mission editor and fly a mission the corsair wont catch a wire? Any clues anyone? The ATC doesn't appear to be working at this stage but is it because I haven't requested to land properly?

Ok thanks for the info.

Is there? If there is I’m getting it

Yes I’ve pinched your photo. Hope you don’t mind. Looks like we are after the same outcome

Yeah bit busy for next few days but I’ll have a look and try and do something can you reply with the link to the skin you like so I can match it.

I've created a Mod to quickly adapt the brilliant denissoliveira GR7/9 variant to existing British harrier skins and have shared it in the downloads section with his permission. (I take no credit for these wonderful skins!) DCS Harrier GR7/9 Nose colour Mod (For use with denissoliveira variant pack mod) Hope people get some enjoyment from it. If anybody has an interest and a capability of doing the following - and adding an extra pylon to our harrier please let me know Id absolutely love for this to happen..... Best regards everyone!

Hi everyone, I've been trying to mod the mirrors on the harrier by adjusting the mainpanel_init.lua file using this mod as a rough guide, https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3329063/ I'm trying to achieve similar results to this mod but I'm not getting anywhere could anyone give some advice, Regards,

And this is an example of how different we all are, VR is an opportunity for me to experience having a fully immersive cockpit without having the expensive of spending what would be thousands of pounds to pay for a home pit which I couldn’t afford plus I wouldn’t have the space for anyway, and I do find a level of immersion that I find authentic, however looking down at an empty seat is just for me a distraction and an immersion breaker and once I have it in my mind and particularly because there are so many options in DCS to fly aircraft that have them I’d rather choose another option, and I know there are plenty of others that feel the same way, having asked the question about the the pilot in the Mig 21 and getting a reply saying it was planned, all be it back in 2021, but then asking a question on the forums about the F4U and getting a reply that I can only take to mean they have no interest in doing one I’ve come to the decision that the F4U won’t be for me, I’m a Mig 21 customer and I hope one day Magnitude will stay true to their statement that it will be added, but after the situation with other 3rd party modules I’m far more careful with what I buy now on DCS. But anyway I don’t hold any malice I genuinely hope that people enjoy the Corsair and they can get success with it.

I do love the Corsair but by only flying in VR the only modules I have installed have an in cockpit pilot. I miss the A10 and understand that’s coming soon so will reinstall that once it gets one. I just know I would buy it and not use it so it’s not for me but I do hope other users get enjoyment from it, there’s also the situation with Mig 21 as well, I contacted them at one point, they said they were planning a pilot for that, that was the beginning of 2021. So personally I have enough modules to be looking forward to and to keep me occupied, I’m a lover of aviation so yeah of course I love the corsair. But I actually have more of a soft spot for the Hellcat. So I will focus my attention on that.
