Devil 505 Posted November 23, 2022 Posted November 23, 2022 So as I am sure most Corsair enthusiast already know, Blackbird Simulations has already released the Whistling Death on MSFS. I finally bit the big one and bought it waiting for Magnitude to push theirs out of the hangar. I highly recommend if you want to get a jump, especially in VR, learning how to start her up and fly her giving this a shot. I absolutely cant wait to see Magnitude spread this girls wings in DCS. I took a quick flight this morning around Wake Island. Magnitude, lets get this girl moving, DCS is home and the Marianas needs this! 3 1
Hammer1-1 Posted November 23, 2022 Posted November 23, 2022 Ive been flying the Milviz F4U around for a few months. Kinda interested in seeing how it stacks up with theirs, but reality I NEED M3 to finish theirs.

Just hope we have the whistling effect when diving. Sounds are everything with WW2 birds. 1
Devil 505 Posted November 29, 2022 Author Posted November 29, 2022 Took a flight around Espiritu Santo, the Island the Black Sheep were stationed on during the war. I would love to see ED or a third party incorporate the South Pacific Islands in the future. So many untapped potential there for new aircraft and battlefields on land, sea, and air. This is a taste of what it could look like lifting off in the morning to go intercept a Japanese group.
Steel Jaw Posted November 29, 2022 Posted November 29, 2022 Damned if I know what you can fly meantime but Whistling Death is my all time fav fighter...go see the movie Devotion. 1 "You see, IronHand is my thing" My specs: W10 Pro, I5/11600K o/c to 4800 @1.32v, 64 GB 3200 XML RAM, Red Dragon 7800XT/16GB.

Looking forward to this movie. Glad you reminded me of it. I think I know what I will be doing with the wife this weekend.
Rakkis Posted November 30, 2022 Posted November 30, 2022 I've been in the P-47 getting big American radial practice seeing that both Corsair and Thunderbolt use variants of the Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp. I'm sure there are going to be stark differences but I feel having a healthy familiarity will definitely help.

Nealius Posted January 18, 2023 Posted January 18, 2023 I was considering the FS2020 route for practice but the VR performance is substantially worse than DCS on my system. In DCS I would say to fly two warbirds: - P-47D for the basic American radial workflow, boom-and-zoom tactics, and A2G employment - Something squirrely like the Spitfire or K-4 to get used to raw warbird handling on the ground and in the air, since the P-47 is exceptionally stable and easy to fly/taxi

I remember testing it out and realizing I can slam on the brakes and not flip the tail up.
Nealius Posted January 19, 2023 Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) I think that's actually one of the techniques to abort a takeoff: Hit differential brakes to induce a ground loop. You just stop and expend all your energy on doing a donut on the runway. At least that was what was demonstrated on a period training video. Try that in a Spit or 109 and you'll tip over.

Mr_sukebe Posted January 19, 2023 Posted January 19, 2023 One thing I did a couple of years ago, was to download a Mod of a WW2 aircraft carrier and practice carrier landings in the Spit. Clearly you'll have no arrestors, which is why I used the Spit, as it has a lower stall speed and can stop on a WW2 carrier. It was useful to practice the approach on a carrier in a warbird. The key issue being the length of the nose, which when you're in for landing really obscures the view. The options are to land just after completing a turn, or to crab in using yaw from the rudder to allow you to point the nose to one side such that you can see the ship. 7800x3d, 5080, 64GB, PCIE5 SSD - Oculus Pro - Moza (AB9), Virpil (Alpha, CM3, CM1 and CM2), WW (TOP and CP), TM (MFDs, Pendular Rudder), Tek Creations (F18 panel), Total Controls (Apache MFD), Jetseat

I love P-47 from DCS can't get my hands off it. Big, Fat, Ugly but very Tender Girl. That's what it is. Absolutely love it. How F-4U will be? Edited January 20, 2023 by 303_Kermit
