What is great, what needs improvement

[motoadve]

Been flying flight sims for 30 years, also real pilot for 16 and own and fly a warbird.

IMHO the Corsair is fantastic, I made a list of what I like and what I think needs improvement, and what is great, feel free to add your input.

 

Improvement needed 

Cockpit looks great but too dark

Sound volume too low

Is the suspension on the struts modelled?

Is take off assist ON? seems very easy, it lifts the tail on its own.

FM to be able to work with sticks with no extensions (but don't change so much it ruins it for guys with extensions and FFB, works great for us)

Damage model for systems /engine (I know its in the works)

Probably in the works, add more axis and setting to be able to be mappable.

What is great

Feel of flight is really good, maybe one of the best I have tried.

FM (I am using extension and FFB and it feels great)

Some of the damage model to the airframe, wings you get hit, get holes and it adds drag, damaged wing drops and makes it hard to fly, your elevator gets shot and plane becomes uncontrollable the damage visuals are also great, when the engine and systems damage model are complete, should be amazing.

Finally an open canopy that adds drag (all other warbirds need this)

Graphics , and attention to detail are amazing, makes the 109, P51 and Dora look ancient.

Honestly, I feel you've covered the bases for what Mag3 can do at least.

I'd like them to work with ED to get the Tiny Tims working more authentically as they drop before igniting to get clear of the prop arc.

Something very noticeable in a warbird are the sounds and vibrations, specially on a radial engine one.

I definitely have my personal list of things I'd like to see addressed.  Sound and immersion is definitely at the top of that list.

Motoadve, for a guy with your background and experience, I'm surprised that you didn't mention the ground handling. IMO, it is lacking a fully swiveling tailwheel. Without use of excessive power, it is impossible to get the Hog to turn around one of its main gear. If you watch the tail in the F2 view, you'll see that the tailwheel doesn't swivel more than about 10-20 degrees. Not a deal breaker by any means but very annoying nonetheless, especially when trying to maneuver in tight quarters on the flight deck. I think that all the rest of your comments are spot on though.   I am a very happy M3 customer!

Lets add this to the list, I have been doing only carrier operations, landing you get basically no roll, and for take offs the tail is lifted by itself in no time, I wonder if take off assist is ON.

Have not checked F2  outside view, but taxing in the carrier a bit, felt a bit weird.

The trim moves too fast with a POV hat switch. Need to have the ability to slow it down so as to make finer adjustments like you would in real life with a manual trim wheel.

I would like to have the option as a mission builder to choose whether you spawn in with the wings spread or folded.

Add to the "what's great" list:  illuminated cockpit and gauges.   If you haven't flown this girl at night, oh man you're missing out.

FM already feels great with a TM warthog+pedals, no extension. The pedals are very important.

Twist axis works fine...as always.

Is it just me or does the frag damage from bombs happen too far out from the impact. 
 

other than that and the sound and what was said above minus the no extension thing. I have warthog and tpr pedals with no extension and I love it
