From the Corsair Pilot Notes

This happened yesterday to one of my flying mates when he did a repair on the Wolf Pack Warbirds server. When his Corsair dropped to the ground following the repair it bounced onto it's nose. Other team members have also reported damage being caused by the repair process. Another curious Corsair damage model is the propeller being bent backwards after taking hits from an enemy bomber. This also happened yesterday on the Wolf Pack Warbirds server when I was attacking a Ju-88 from its rear aspect.

Yes one would hope so. However, I thought it worth highlighting as the previous bug reports seemed to be confined to people using VR headsets and not flatscreen.

Not only in VR. I fly flatscreen and yesterday when using the Bat Bomb in a MP server I had the radar display image and reflector sight image move with my head movement. I use Tobii Eye Track 5. It was only momentary and did not persist.

Great find. Chart center appears to be Million Dollar Point on Espiritu Santo. Although it would not get that name until after the end of WWII when the US Forces bulldozed all their now redundant equipment / vehicles into the sea rather than return those assets to the USA. Been there - seen it.

Attached screenshot taken on Wolf Pack Warbirds MP server. One Corsair is being flown by a mate located in Canada and the other by myself located in Australia. To both of us the landing gear is up. In fact on all the MP servers I have been on since the release of the Corsair I see the landing gear as up in flight and no other player has remarked to me that they see my gear down in flight. Obviously, there is a bug as some are reporting but I have not experienced it.

Have you set the laser to LAST in the weapons page?

I use Voice Attack - much easier as no buttons needed.

From the Pilot Notes in the Diving Limitations Section

Here is an extract from the Corsair Pilot Notes giving the limitation for the Gyro Horizon and Directional Gyro.

I recently set up some engagements of an AI Mi-24P versus human controlled AH-64D. The first engagement was an AI Mi-24P armed with AT-6 versus my human AH-64D armed with AGM-114L. What was noticeable was that (1) the AI Mi-24 detected me launching a AGM-114L and (2) it took evasive action. Also noticed was that the Mi-24P launched an AT-6 at my AH-64 and the AT-6 tracked to my aircraft despite the AI Mi-24's violent evasive maneuvers. As the AT-6 is SACLOS guided by the Mi-24's copilot/gunner, it appears that even though the MI-24 copilot/gunner would have lost sight (and therefore broke the SACLOS guidance) of my AH-64 due to the Mi-24's evasive action, the AT-6 still guided onto my aircraft. This is highly unrealistic behaviour. Second engagement was a rear aspect ambush wherein I allowed the AI Mi-24 to fly past my position and then took off and chased it down before firing my AGM-114L. As soon as I fired my AGM-114L the AI Mi-24 took evasive action. How the AI Mi-24 either knew that I was astern of it or that I had fired a AGM-114L at it is a complete mystery. The Mi-24 is equipped with the SPO-10 RWR which detects radars in the HJ Bands (Mhz). The AH-64 FCR operates in the Ghz band and so does the AGM-114L's onboard guidance radar. While I know that the Hind is still early access it appears that little is being done to have this module operate realistically.

Have found a procedural workaround. When I get into a position close to where I want to perch I go into a hover and rotate the aircraft 90 degrees to my desired line of sight and then drift right or left (as appropriate) to get to my perch and then counter rotate to the desired line of sight. Works OK but it would still be desirable to have a Drift Forward / Back command. Really loving the Kiowa. Definitely has the best AI pilot / copilot of all the modules.

Another option would be to have a voice command to elevate and depress the radar. Using Voice Attack you can set an Apache profile that has commands such as "Elevate Radar" and "Depress Radar". Although I am not normally a VR flyer, I have found Voice Attack very helpful for executing actions while keeping my hands on the cyclic and collective.
