Aussieflyer38 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 After a LOT of attempts, I finally got the Corsair in the air. It is a bit of a beast to handle, well for me anyway. Pics are over Brisbane YBBN On final It's fun to fly, but as I found out very easy to crash and burn Enjoy guys and thanks for looking Don 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Adam, I'm still picking up the pieces and replacing the prop. I thought take off's were difficult, landings are twice as hard.

I crashed this thing about fifty times before I got it right. Youtube vids didn't help, until I found the "magic" one. Don 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always found tail draggers to be the most difficult to land in any sim. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually in the air she flies very smooth, and I've mastered the take offs, please don't ask about landings Don 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulb Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Well done Don . I love warbirds and always purchase a few for every sim. I don't have the corsair yet, but it's on my possible list. As you say, take offs can be difficult with so much torque! . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sniper31 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 (edited) Great images Don! I agree completely, the Corsair, while fulfilling once you manage to get her airborne, is a right b!tch of a warbird to get off the ground and back down in one piece. Still, I love how you can feel the power in this simulated Corsair in MSFS. And it looks amazing! Edited August 7, 2022 by Sniper31 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get it off the ground no problems now, but landing.........well that's another story, have bent a couple or three props, just have to keep doing those touch and go's and get it right.
