WWII Replica - Vought F4U Corsair

[selfish_meme]

So this has been hanging around in my hangar for ages, as many of you have probably seen. Well now is your chance to fly it. This version does not have the rotating prop due to wanting it to look a bit more authentic. Again, you will need KerbPaint to see the colors and Flag Decals if you want to put the pre 1947 US Marines markings on it. If you want the flag let me know, actually if you want any of the flags you have seen me use let me know. If it's popular I will put a flag pack together.

Yes please, I like decals & such. I don't like that particular mod being restricted to flags though ... yesterday I was thinking of making a different mod so we're able to add much more ... squadron insignia and numbers like on this sweet La-7.

It would be nice and I think there was a mod that allowed it, something like this http://www.curse.com/ksp-mods/kerbal/225776-nebula-decals have not tried it in this version, maybe we could get the source and see if it will recompile in the new version.

Though it requires Firespitter and Tweakscale

Interesting mod, it only uses the Firespitter plugin so we can use the most recent one. Now I only need to learn how to create textures with transparent sections (something with a layer with alpha channel or something).

By the way, I modified your propeller to give it a size more like the original one and painted it black ... Do you like the idea or ... ?

[selfish_meme]

Yeah, like I said on KerbalX, it needs another half an antenna length to be the right scale. I don't know whether to bother updating, I am sure most people would not pick it. It also means deleting and re-uploading on KerbalX which is a pain.

The mod said it needs tweak scale to change the size of the decals, unless you want to add more parts like Flag Decals.

I think it flies OK, what about you?

Maybe it used to be like that but nowadays if you choose "edit" and upload a modified version of your craft, it will automatically give you the question if you want the existing replaced or uploaded as a new craft.

It flies pretty good, could have a higher roll rate by double stacking the ailerons. I got into a flat spin once but all I needed to do is cut throttle and apply rudder. Maybe adjusting the vector of the Juno's would give it less tendency to pitch up.

The shape is lovely dude! I can see some of these sitting on a deck with their wings folded up. Good work!

The Corsair has always been a favorite of mind, it's unique bent wings are the coolness of this craft. The P51 Mustang is another favorite, I've started working on it the other day and plan to release it on here in the future. Really nice craft build!

I did like it and I have modified it to have a larger propeller

The program itself is not busted, but it was bundled with an old dll that you have to remove and you just need some updated configs, you can get them from the last page of the thread, Azimech's has more parts than mine, but it is trivial to add more.

Looks great!
