@Reflected Tutorials have their own thread now:

no Zeros yet, but you can place a bunch of Japanese flak to make your joyride more challenging

Hi, I know that Argentina used the -5 not the -1, but I would love to have an argentinian livery for the Corsair, for fictional combat missions against Chile's P-47D ... any chance of a skilled user creating one? https://amilarg.com.ar/vought-f4u-corsair.html Cheers! Eduardo

It is included: You have to give time to the community to learn about these more advanced features, I'm sure tutorials will appear. Yes, but I have not tried it yet

he did those missions? .. if so, great move, reminds me of Razbam contracting @baltic_dragon for their mission making needs

Yes, it's available for those that have updated DCS to its latest release (version 2.9.17.11733 )

Unfortunately, the person that edited these missions made use of some WW2 Assets units, if you don't own it then you won't be able to load those missions. Hopefully someone at M3 will see this bug report and fix those missions.

Hi, thanks but don't worry about it, as in the meantime my query was answered here: Cheers

Hi, Turns out its the same folder name as for its liveries: "F4U-1D_CW" ... now I have a working custom kneeboard for both variants ... I may end-up placing a junction link there, so as to use a single kneeboard set of pages for both variants, to save a bit of drive space and to ease update maintenance Cheers!

Hello, I've been able to place a custom kneeboard for the Corsair at /Saved Games/DCS/Kneeboard/F4U-1D Looks like this: However, this kneeboard is not picked up by the British variant of the Corsair. Does anyone know which folder name should be used for it? I tried "F4U-1D Mk.IV" but the Sim doen't pick it up.

Wish you success on restarting this development and getting a Team. If you ever need a Mission designer for this aircraft, I'd love to edit some Quick and Training missions for it. Cheers. Eduardo

Thanks for the permission, here is the PDF version: Bryan’s F4U AN-ARC2 (AN-ARR2) C-26 (ARC-5) manual radio navigation tutorial.pdf

I truly hope it goes beyond "potential"

Hi, Really excelent guide, if you don’t mind I will adapt it to PDF format to be able to place it on the Corsair Kneeboard. Your work reminds me why I prefer writen works rather than video tutorials, at least for equipment subjects … flying technique is better for video. Cheers, Eduardo

As an aid on my mission making, I edited a quick Catalog with the new Assets released today together with the F4U-1. I'm sharing it in case it is useful for other users, I will strive to keep it updated as new PTO assets are added ... I'm looking forward to the japanese ships Catalog of WW2 Pacific Objects.pdf

They are independent of each other, but keep in mind that Marianas is just 14 GB and Marianas WW2 just 9 GB ... if your drive is almost full it won't make much of a difference deleting one of them.

Hi, Thanks a lot for confirming this so seems the shapes are non encrypted ... the Livery creators and myself will be really happy ... I will now go straight to purchase the Corsair Thanks again to everyone that helped with this. Eduardo

You need to update DCS first, only the latest version includes this Map:

Thanks, seems Magnitude 3 uses a different convention, most other aircraft store the cockpit shape inside "Cockpit", but the Mig-21 places it within "Shapes" ... can you please show the contents of the Shape folder? on the Mig-21 is like this: I wanted to just check folders, as most users do not know their way around the ModelViewer application ... so, this seemed like an easier way. Sorry for all the inconvenience, Eduardo

Thanks a lot, It should have a "Shape" folder inside Cockpit, with a .EDM file, like this: An encrypted Module will not have such file, in fact the F-5E 2024 does not have the "Shape" folder at all: Thanks again Eduardo

Because I enjoy making training missions for DCS, and for that I do need the information on which cockpit argument does what. DCS does not provide a list of the arguments, so the only way is to check those using ModelViewer. But, if the aircraft's cockpit can't be loaded on the MV because it is encrypted, then I'm completely unable to get the information needed for this kind of mission. Honestly, I guess most likely the Corsair Cockpit is not encrypted, because on the F-5E they encrypted both the external shape file and the Cockpit file, and here I have seen that the external shape isn't encrypted, but I do want to be sure before spending the 50 quid.

You can always add me to your Ignore List

@Casmo is on a roll today, here is his second tutorial Edit: @Casmo redid this Tutorial, this is the new version:

Hello, I updated DCS today but have not yet purchased the Corsair. I found that I can load the external 3D Shape onto ModelViewer 2, like this: As I don't have the flyable module, I have not been able to confirm if the Cockpit 3D Shape can or can't be loaded by MV2 ... please, can anyone who purchased the Corsair test if MV2 can load its cockpit shape? Thanks for any help with this, as I'm itching to purchase this bird Eduardo

Hi all, Let's start this thread with this great tutorial by @Casmo
