Based on how m3 responded in the main f4u folder to my inquiry there, I'd suggest they feel the "professional recordings" they have are adequate and only need some gain and volume tweaks to properly represent the Corsair. They also seemed a little chippy about having to pay for sound engineering experts. At least that's how I interpreted the response.

I personally think that's the healthy way of thinking about the Super carrier and a whole slew of unfulfilled/unfinished content across all of DCS.

Well it works is all I know.

@YoYo I know. I've created MP campaigns for years. Including a Kiowa campaign. These campaigns can be done as SP or MP. Until people stop accepting the ED limitations as "limits", the community will never move forward. The fact that you can't even multicrew, in a bird specifically designed for it, is indeed a shame.

SRS works fine.

100%

Mag3 claims this bug showed up "late" in testing. They did nothing to correct in order to make the release deadline.

Yes. https://youtu.be/AEwxxTOmqAA?si=vYNw3jH2z2KZJKBr

Try using that big rudder and prop to get the plane rotating in a tight circle. See if that works for you.

What a shame ...

With an undetermined timeline given all the stipulations he stated in the video. He's not releasing a campaign without the right PTO assets - respect him for that. BUT ... he's now waiting behind not just "when" but "if" the assets he needs are even included in the pack. Happy to see the news. I don't expect it'll see light of day for at least a year if not more.

Thanks for doing this. Given the mess that these keybinds are in, it says a lot about Mag3's commitment to standards and quality. I'm beginning to see a pattern with this company. Do "just enough" to call it done and move on. Like you, I don't expect them to address these self inflicted issues anytime soon. Thing is, it'll take them longer to fix the issue than if they'd just done it correctly the first time. Anyway, do you plan on releasing your entire lua file as a single download? That way we can install and opt to configure whatever new keybinds we desire. Thanks.

Please do! Thanks.

This guy knows what he's talking about! Very well stated, Tyler. First step in acknowledging there's a problem is to admit there's a problem. Seeing the response regarding "professional recordings" indicates to me Mag3 doesn't think they have a problem. Suggesting volume and gain tweaks somehow solve the myriad sound issues rang pretty hollow with me as I suspect it did with a lot of other discerning customers. Maybe, someday we'll get a realistic sounding, immersive Corsair. At least we now have one in DCS! As disappointing as it sounds in its current form. Thanks for adding your expertise to this thread!

Amen! I removed them from missions because of their OP.

For those that might be interested in a more legible version of the table above.

Gotta balance financial with community "wants". Appreciate the response.

Great to know! Sounds like ED needs to learn as well given that feature doesn't exist for any warbird offered. Appreciate the response Rudel.

How are you avoiding the "MP shows gear down bug", @GUCCI? My mates and I have been having fun, but as far as video or images are concerned having the gear extended 100% of the time really puts a damper on immersion.

I definitely have my personal list of things I'd like to see addressed. Sound and immersion is definitely at the top of that list.

I think a lot of us feel the same way here, @Gunfreak. Based on feedback from Mag3 themselves, the list of "known issues" at launch paled in comparison to the ED "list" accompanying the release into EA. A buddy and I were just discussing this very topic today and postulated starting an online tracker for all the bugs that have been reported by the community. Alas, I think such an endeavor becomes an immediate ban by ED CMs as well as having unintended consequences of jabbing more at mag3 than providing visibility into the issues. I don't have any idea how big mag3 is, but certainly judging from their presence here, they appear to be mostly a one-person band. We can hope for some clarity on some of these more egregious issues - I just don't expect movement anytime soon. If mag3 is as small as I suspect, I'd rather them spend time fixing/testing than administering to community management.

I'll add some video references here as to what the real Corsair sounds like. For those who've never felt the visceral sound of the engine startup, high speed pass, low throaty fly-by, or the whistling death signature sound - well, words just can't describe the sensations one feels being in the presence of such an iconic warbird. Some may feel the mag3 sounds are okay - or even good. That's subjective and your opinion that of course you're entitled to. My opinion, however, is mag3 missed the mark on the corsair massively. Hearing Echo19 ( @I_Gamer ) chime in above suggesting mag3 ghosted them years ago was a real kick in the stomach - especially given the state these sounds are in at EA. @-Rudel- - are you considering making a change to the sounds to bring the Corsair up to what many expect from the Corsair? If this is/was a cash saving decision, I'd suggest there are enough of us that would invest in making the Corsair sound as authentic as possible and encourage you to explore funding options that push the sound environment to the best quality possible within DCS. Even if you have no desire to leverage Echo19, please take a listen to the videos below and honestly evaluate how your rendition sounds against the real thing. The Corsair still flies (although fewer and fewer these days) - get yourself to an airshow and take in firsthand how its supposed to sound.

@-Rudel- Can we get an official statement on the conjecture above please. You've now got a wildfire of YouTube videos, online posts here and "elsewhere" claiming you can't trap when the carrier is headed in the direction outlined in the linked post above. This would greatly assist the community in differentiating fact from fiction. Thanks.

Been reported. mag3 said this was a known issue at release that cropped up late in testing.
