I am REALLY hoping for that realistic startup and sound of the 2,000 hp 18-cylinder Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp radial.

I dunno why it has always bothered me, but seeing a P-40N in AVG colors just kinda looks.....wrong?

 

Always love me the sound of some radials firing up, probably the muscle car head in me, anything that sounds cam'd out just makes my loins sweat........

Stick it in a wishlist, this is the corsair thread.

 

 

I am looking forward to hearing any news on this lovely lady, but I understand Leatherneck will be head down for a while yet with the viggen...

[Mike Busutil]

The F4U will definitely be one of the best modules for DCS.

Is this project dead?

[Silver_Dragon]

On Hold actually.

[AG-51_Razor]

Thanks Silver Dragon! I read through the whole thread and the only thing I saw that was on hold is the Iwo Jima map, not the F4U-1D Corsair. I hope I have that right. Magnitude 3 will be a very popular 3rd Party Developer once they get that out the door!! If they can't do a map, maybe they should give a shot at building an Essex class CV!

[WinterH]

Not necessarily on hold, but last LN said was along the lines of that it is not the next module they will release (which, all going according to plan, they hope to release this year).

 

Not sure where was the statement though, either somewhere here or facebook page.

Thanks guys. At least they are still committed to finishing it. :thumbup:

[nicoliam]

That is good to know I am so pumped about this plane. Waiting is the worst, back to Normandy I guess :pilotfly:

[Magic Zach]

I'm not going through 371 replies, but I am going to join the F4U-4 bandwagon. A better variant is always (well...most of the time) better, though. That climb rate of 4,500ft/m and speed of 448MPH both reeaally turn me on.

[wavn]

Just read the books "Carrier Pilot" of Norman Hanson and "On and off The Flight Deck" of Henri 'Hank' Adlam which tells (mostly; but also Hellcats) the stories of the Corsairs flown from carriers in WW2: that kind of flying in these times was sure not for the fainthearthed and extremely dangerous.

Would very much like the release in DCS of the Corsair (with an appropriate carrier) :)

The F4U train has derailed a long time ago. It's not a planned project anymore.

[Paganus]

Where did you see that Bogey Jammer?

 

The last posts from an actual team member I've seen say they are still making the F4U, just not this year.

[Bogey Jammer]

I can't remember the exact source, but what I understood is that the project is on hold in a way that the conditions which can resurrect it will probably never be met :

— It's a WW2 aircraft supposed to be easy to model, yet Leatherneck has splitted and Heatblur proved that they don't need it to make much more ambitious modules.

— F4U-1 version was selected, probably because the availability of sources. Fans of the whole Corsair family loves it anyway, but nitpickers hate that variant.

— The Iwo-Jima theater was supposed to be made in the same time. Which means, the need to model a whole Pacific theater ecosystem for it and it's way too much workload yet. Plus the F4U-1 would not historically fit in it.

— As a Pacific theater aircraft, it would be the most lonely aircraft of DCS World for years.

— Magnitude 3 is in a undetermined state, the communication is dead, we don't even get change logs for the MiG-21. Only the 3D artist seems alive and yet nothing proves that this studio still has a future or is not practically dead already.

[Hiromachi]

Jammer, that is a huge exaggeration and assumption lacking substance. They still do respond, particularly on their facebook. Whereas future of Corsair is unknown, that doesnt mean that studio is dead and they continue their work. All that is required now is patience.

They should have went with F4U-4...
