A Message of Appreciation to Magnitude 3

[Ghostrider 147]

I just wanted to thank the developers of the Corsair for creating such a beautiful module for DCS. The Corsair has been my absolute favorite aircraft for many years - I'm sure that I'm not the only one this applies to  After years of flying the F4U in WT sim battles I found myself longing for a more accurate representation of this legendary aircraft and since some of the teasers published around 2019 I found myself excitedly waiting for the DCS Corsair! And now in 2025 it's finally here! 

I've taken the Hog out for a couple of test flights now and I just wanted to say WOW! What a gorgeous looking aircraft with amazing texture work and plenty of beautiful liveries (including some to roleplay -1 and -1A Corsair models!!). The flight model feels so detailed and rich as well, I'm not a real pilot but it certainly seems to check out compared to the stories from the pilots that actually flew these birds. It flies beautifully in DCS - my first flights really felt exhilerating and quite honestly made me sweat a little! This Hog is certainly gonna make me practice my stick 'n rudder skills a lot more! Can't wait to make some proper missions for the Ensign Eliminator  

It was worth the wait and certainly worth every penny - again, thanks so much for beautifully representing this legendary fighter in DCS. 

 

Of course, some screenshots below!

It's a temperamental beast, a bit twitchy, but it rewards good airmanship like all other warbirds. Still, it is the Ensign Eliminator.

I've been in love with the Corsair since BAA BAA Blacksheep came out when I was a kid!  I can't wait for the download to finish!!!

Such a good feeling when a life wish came true, right (we can say a life wish, based on your words)? I feel you. Enjoy flying it. I will do it as well. And thx to Magnitude3 for an amazing job they have done of this outstanding WWII warbird. Incredible work.

Dear Magnitude 3 (and Vought),

Thanks!!  

It was a long wait.  But now it's here, and it sure is cool! 

1st flight... took off and landed ok...on land, in the Nevada map.  Carrier ops later.

Hi, dear friends from Magnitude 3,

I just want join the gang and say THANK YOU for such lovely module.

We all know I will evolve and we will be together on this path.

Once again, Congratulations!

All the best,

Sydy

Same here. Indeed a long wait, but it was more than worth!

Thank you very much indeed!

Thank you for all your hard work on this. Nailed my first carrier landing today, and survived re-launching as well.  Got her up to 39,000+ft (oil temp was redlining even with open cooler at 300 knots true 155 indicated).

I have been in awe of the Corsair since I was a kid. I was so happy to see it join the warbird stable in DCS.  I bought the mod the first day it was available.  I thought it was beautiful then and I still do.   I wanted to love it, but I don't.  The handling is not good.  It flies like it's tail heavy.  It just waddles around the sky.  The roll rate is horrific, and it doesn't respond with any sense of urgency to the throttle.  It feels reluctant to turn or to climb. 

The training missions are glitchy.  And I have these random engine failures.  It just stops, and for no apparent reason.  I have every other DCS warbird mod and am happy with all of them.  That being said I confess that I had my struggles with each of them.  Like any machine, they each have their quirks and foibles that have to be understood and overcome.  The high speed stall characteristics of P-51 for example.  Anybody who flies it knows it will depart from flight with little warning and it sucks until you get a feel for the onset.  But I don't see me getting a feel for the problems with the F4u.  Every flight ends in frustration and disappointment.  The mod seems fundamentally flawed to me, but I still want to love it and am hoping that Magnitude will keep improving it.

Wrong thread.  Plenty of other threads for that.

This plane got me back into DCS!!
