New F4U-7 Corsair.

[piper82x]

The new FS2004 ALPHA BLEU CIEL French Chance Vought F4U-7 Corsair is the best freeware Corsair I have seen yet.  http://www.simviation.com/fs2004vintage17.htm

One problem I am having with this model is take off.  The plane yaws violently to the left and wants to rotate right away after full trottle.  I reinstalled it twice with no luck.  DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS PROBLEM??  

Besides that, it is one hell of a design!!!!

Hello and Welcome Piper. Read this post. I think it speaks of what you are describing!

Yeah this is one bird you have to be easy on the throttle with initially, otherwise you do more doughnuts than a Festiva with a V-12

Hi there!

It's indeed one of the best freewares ever!

The problem UR reporting happened to some others guys, majorly reported at sim-outhouse's forum, and I can say taya that a new air file is comin' soon and will correct this issue, as some systems had the problem and others - like mine - nothing at all.
But I can say taya also is that warbirdies were very very powerful and usually the real pilots never used full power to take off, they increased slowly the throttle and they gain aerodynamic control - full power, ok?

cya!

Hello.  This Corsair certainly is a great model.  I just now did several test flights in FS2002, all realism settings down, and had no problems taking off (it took off straight) or landing.  Takeoff is a bit tail-high, but controllable.  I don't know if problems you are describing only in FS9 tho.

Two other problems, neither too serious for me: tailhook won't deploy, and the panel, well, I'm seeing triple there, so will alias to another.

Apex: reduse your throttle somewhat untill you reach rotation speed then as you start to left off you can increase it if you want to, this will reduse the tail high problem.

Only one thing...does it have landing/taxi lights that I'm missing?
