Anybody have updates on the development of the F4U Corsair?

Recommended Posts

Cant find anything online and I'm super curious and excited for it. I cant even find the announcement or any info at all about it. WW2 modules are my absolute favorite and this is the only WW2 module I've heard is in development so far. Can anyone provide links or updates to the F4U Corsair or any other WW2 modules expected, please and thanks.

That's because F4U is being developed by Magnitude3, so search through their section of the forum.

 

The sort-of-announcement (or rather confirmation) was posted last December, but there hasn't been any substantial news on the subject since then:

As for other warbirds, well, VEAO claim they still work on their P-40. Given their past record make of it anything you want.

Thanks for the info. I messaged Leatherneck on FB and they said they are working "full steam ahead" on the F4U. They said it will be released after the CE2. Cant wait!

Is there any new information about F4U-1d? After seeing the recently released images I am very much looking forward to it.

Since you were asking for updates, we've posted a few things on facebook but since not everyone is following there, I thought its worth posting them here too.

Going to need more than a death whistle to destroy those ground targets!
The Mk.5 Mod.3 rocket launcher pylons were designed to help prevent accidental releases during hard landings.  The rear pylon utilizes a safety latch, that can only be disengaged by a small lanyard attached to the igniter cable.  
Once the rocket's igniter cable is sent the electrical signal to fire the rocket, the blast forces it to become unplugged pulling the lanyard with it.  Thus allowing the rocket to safely launch.
The front pylon is actually the Mk.5 Mod.2 that a small lanyard attaches to from the fuze cap.  As the rocket pulls away from the pylon, the lanyard pulls a pin, that allows the cap to spring off and engage the fuze's impeller; arming the warhead.

Still waiting....4yrs later

 

Do you really believe that a snarky post like yours is going to get us the module sooner? ... why don't you fly something else in the meantime, its more entertaining than keep waiting for your dream aircraft.

I'm sure I'll get jumped on in here, but I bet I'm not the only person who feels maybe a tad bit frustrated when I see showcase videos of things like.. idk, hyper realistically modeled hinges and hydraulic lines when the wings fold up and down. Like... that's cool I guess, but to me, that sort of thing can come in a patch as additional eye candy, and its not the sort of thing you delay the release of the module to implement. 

Yes, there is something to be said for "release a finished product." There's nothing at all wrong with that mindset, but I think there's also a possible balance that can be achieved between releasing an empty, broken "early access" product and spending a decade making sure every rivet is fully simulated before release.

Maybe I'm uninformed and they are still working on important core systems simultaneously to the superficial stuff. Either way, all the best to M3, I'm still looking forward to this plane when it finally releases, whenever that may be.

I fail to see exactly how these sarcastic posts help to get the module to market sooner, why don't these people fly something else while they wait .. I fly the Mosquito and don’t even worry about the Corsair, will purchase it when its released and that’s it .. I simply don’t feel that urge to pester the developers.

if all they're doing is working on the carrier at the moment, Id rather they work on the Corsair instead. The vast majority of them never flew off carrier decks anyways, and its going to be a royal PITA to land on them in this a/c anyways. That said, Id rather have a fully realized aircraft before early access as that horse is being beat to death.

I respectfully disagree. First off, I am hopefull that the majority of their work on the plane is finished and they are just tidying up the boat before release. While I fully understand your sentiments, and you are correct about the Corsair's carrier carreer during the war, I am really looking forward to the challenge of learning to land it on a carrier. In fact, I might go so far as to say that, without the carrier, I probably wouldn't buy it. I mean, I already have the Jug so what do I need with another round motor plane in the hanger??!! It's the tail hook man!!! 🤪 I would be inclined to mirror your comments with the caveat that I would prefer they just release it as is without all the time and resources "wasted" on lighting for both the carrier and cockpit since in reality, the Corsairs spent very little time flying at night and even less time operating off a carrier in the dark. And finally, regardless of how you or I feel about it, they are going to do what they want to do and we'll get it when they decide it's ready, hopefully sooner rather than later.

Yeah, plenty of WWII related carriers to land on 😁 .

Since the first thing I'm gonna do is take off and and land(fail at land) on the carrier I want it at the same time.

I haven't done ww2 carrier ops since Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator 2.
