    DCS : F4U-1 Corsair

    I can’t wait 🥳

    I might be at risk of heat stroke with the sun beating down and my pc superheating the room whilst I sweat profusely in a VR headset but that won’t stop me!

    Just doing some basic research into the use of the Corsair in the ETO. I see that it took part in several attacks against the Tirpitz whilst anchored in Norway. Given that the Kola map could potentially be used for WW2 missions, is there any asset that can be used to simulate the Tirpitz? 

    Also, does anyone know if the Corsair saw any action on D-day? From what I have read the Fleet Air Arm operated several aircraft in support roles, including the F6F but I could not see the Corsair mentioned. 

    It never saw use in D-Day. There were plans drawn up and training performed in order to use them against V-1 flying bomb sites bit politics got in the way 🙄

    Enduring Patience.   You stated in your update that you've been working on this module since 2017.  That's eight years!  Not sure I would have led with that statement.  This is getting a little old.  In fact, a lot old.  If you cannot finish it, then stop stringing the community along.


    How much money have you given them?

    Nothing….

    So you have nothing to moan about!

    Clipped-wing Corsair!Then we need British carrier😁

    OMFG I didn’t even see that! 
     

    I assumed we would be getting a skin only…. 🙇  I believe that the Royal Navy version never carried the rockets or rocket studs!

    F4U Torque Roll Video (FATAL)

    The pilot mistake is not enough right rudder to counteract the torque of the engine, resulting in a strong left yaw as soon as he was off the deck and things go downhill from there. 
     

    If there was no engine torque, he doesn’t die. 
     

     

    The main issue isn’t the torque it isn’t the rudder or even the ailerons. The incident all stems from the elevator, as soon as the nose pulls up he was pretty much doomed. 

    After the pitch up the pilot has no control, the only one that has any effect is when the elevator is pushed forward but by then it is too late. Watch the last video, slowed down it is pretty clear.

    Torque related accidents occur when the throttle is opened at low speed and it is the sudden increase coupled with the lack of authority from control surfaces which lead to an accident. That is not the case here.

    That is exactly my point throughout this years long saga. Torque is a constant at a given power setting and is counteracted by the combination of control deflection and airspeed. 

    It’s difficult to see if there is any elevator movement but the airplane yaws hard left almost immediately and you can see full aileron is applied. It doesn’t look like he lost the stick

    My guess is not enough rudder and inadvertent back stick when he crammed full right stick

     

    Sorry what is your point?

    I am saying this has little to do with torque and entirely due to pilot error.

    Yes, it’s obvious that the left aileron is down and the right is fully up but the engine torque completely overpowers full aileron deflection at that speed. 

    Unfortunately with that high an angle of attack and low speed how much authority would the ailerons have? Virtually none.

    I get the impression that attributing it to torque roll is a mistake. It was a loss of control fundamentally, the question is what caused the nose up.

    Those were fascinating episodes on WHW.

    Have you seen his Kermit Week Sabre videos? I highly recommend them.

    I had exactly the same reaction… I didn’t know him, never met him. I recently went through a similar health issue myself and was fortunate to pull through  so the news hit me really hard.

    I was looking forward to listening to his progress for years to come. Like you said historic aviation scene needed people like him, young passionate and with a huge depth of knowledge.

    At the end of the second vid the report said that it is believed that the pilot lost the stick during the initial thrust of the catapult and that he was unable to retrieve it in time to regain control.

    Happy landings,

    Talisman

     

    Ah didn’t get the chance to watch that one all the way to the end, thank you. 

    That would explain why the ones I have seen previously look so different, crashes that I have seen attributed to torque were during waved off landings where the pilots go full throttle and rotate in.

    I have seen a few videos where a pilot has made a mistake on take off from a carrier and ended up in the drink, this one however is particularly bad.

    I am trying to understand what happened in this case, was it to do with incorrect trim, perhaps he increased power at the wrong moment or perhaps the catapult launch accentuated a mistake?

    This video shows other launches from the same day I believe.

    This is a great channel I have been meaning to share it previously, focus is on the lighter escort carrier ops, wealth of videos.

    The absence of information from other developers doesn't make magnitude 3 a credible developer simply because they post the odd screenshot. The MiG 21 is from the days when Heatblur and Magnitude 3 were joined. Since that split, Heatblur have surged ahead and Magnitude 3 are where they are.

     

    Fair play to them, I hope they succeed but their rate of progress would suggest we can't expect great things from them.
