Devil 505 Posted November 23, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer1-1 Posted November 23, 2022 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil 505 Posted November 29, 2022 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Jaw Posted November 29, 2022 Share 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, ASUS RTX3060ti/8GB.

Rakkis Posted November 30, 2022 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nealius Posted January 18, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember testing it out and realizing I can slam on the brakes and not flip the tail up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealius Posted January 19, 2023 Share 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 Share 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.

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?
