Please do! Thanks.

This guy knows what he's talking about! Very well stated, Tyler. First step in acknowledging there's a problem is to admit there's a problem. Seeing the response regarding "professional recordings" indicates to me Mag3 doesn't think they have a problem. Suggesting volume and gain tweaks somehow solve the myriad sound issues rang pretty hollow with me as I suspect it did with a lot of other discerning customers. Maybe, someday we'll get a realistic sounding, immersive Corsair. At least we now have one in DCS! As disappointing as it sounds in its current form. Thanks for adding your expertise to this thread!

Amen! I removed them from missions because of their OP.

For those that might be interested in a more legible version of the table above.

Gotta balance financial with community "wants". Appreciate the response.

Great to know! Sounds like ED needs to learn as well given that feature doesn't exist for any warbird offered. Appreciate the response Rudel.

How are you avoiding the "MP shows gear down bug", @GUCCI? My mates and I have been having fun, but as far as video or images are concerned having the gear extended 100% of the time really puts a damper on immersion.

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.

I think a lot of us feel the same way here, @Gunfreak. Based on feedback from Mag3 themselves, the list of "known issues" at launch paled in comparison to the ED "list" accompanying the release into EA. A buddy and I were just discussing this very topic today and postulated starting an online tracker for all the bugs that have been reported by the community. Alas, I think such an endeavor becomes an immediate ban by ED CMs as well as having unintended consequences of jabbing more at mag3 than providing visibility into the issues. I don't have any idea how big mag3 is, but certainly judging from their presence here, they appear to be mostly a one-person band. We can hope for some clarity on some of these more egregious issues - I just don't expect movement anytime soon. If mag3 is as small as I suspect, I'd rather them spend time fixing/testing than administering to community management.

I'll add some video references here as to what the real Corsair sounds like. For those who've never felt the visceral sound of the engine startup, high speed pass, low throaty fly-by, or the whistling death signature sound - well, words just can't describe the sensations one feels being in the presence of such an iconic warbird. Some may feel the mag3 sounds are okay - or even good. That's subjective and your opinion that of course you're entitled to. My opinion, however, is mag3 missed the mark on the corsair massively. Hearing Echo19 ( @I_Gamer ) chime in above suggesting mag3 ghosted them years ago was a real kick in the stomach - especially given the state these sounds are in at EA. @-Rudel- - are you considering making a change to the sounds to bring the Corsair up to what many expect from the Corsair? If this is/was a cash saving decision, I'd suggest there are enough of us that would invest in making the Corsair sound as authentic as possible and encourage you to explore funding options that push the sound environment to the best quality possible within DCS. Even if you have no desire to leverage Echo19, please take a listen to the videos below and honestly evaluate how your rendition sounds against the real thing. The Corsair still flies (although fewer and fewer these days) - get yourself to an airshow and take in firsthand how its supposed to sound.

@-Rudel- Can we get an official statement on the conjecture above please. You've now got a wildfire of YouTube videos, online posts here and "elsewhere" claiming you can't trap when the carrier is headed in the direction outlined in the linked post above. This would greatly assist the community in differentiating fact from fiction. Thanks.

Been reported. mag3 said this was a known issue at release that cropped up late in testing.

Absolutely agree with you. My post above was poorly worded. To me, it's clear that ED can't be bothered to correct/fix/enhance the experience. An absolute shame as far as I'm concerned.

Okay, I have this working now. A big shout out to @Rudel_chw who helped me with this a few years ago. I saved the information and put it to good use here. The Mag3 developer can correct this in all of 30 seconds and have it in the next patch should he have time. You have to edit the BASE GAME default joystick lua file to patch this. Make a backup of the original if you make this small change. Steps 1) Open Notepad++ (or whatever text editor you use) 2) Open up ..\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\F4U-1D\Input\joystick\default.lua 3) Add the following line of code as shown in the image below {down = iCommandCockpitShowPilotOnOff, name = _('Show pilot body'), category = _('General')}, 4) Save the file Note, you have now added a show pilot body option to the general category of your joystick mapping. Any patch to the Corsair will overwrite this file so keep it around until Mag3 gets around to "fixing" this. I have tested this on my machine and it works great. For original thread where Rudel helped me, it's here - https://forum.dcs.world/topic/336367-29-object-camera-with-position-inheritance-rshftrctrlf2/

This guy's a pilot and has an informed opinion.

There's some Lua magic required here. I have a how to buried somewhere that I'll try and dig out and see if I can get working. Unfortunately mag3 didn't do us any real favors in the early access keybinds area, did they?

Can we please get a keybind for this? Not everyone plays in pancake mode (2D).

Nice work, Reflected. Thanks!

Same for me. Problem was the cockpit jockey! Reports of the Essex being bugged because people can't trap the Corsair like a Hornet/Tomcat are simply pilot error. Watch reflected's video. It will help tremendously.

Yup. Alas, I seem to recall it being an ED shortcoming that's not worth addressing.

100% Please consider this. Tyler (E19) even commented about this topic in another thread.

Here's hoping, Tyler! You do great work. Thanks for chiming in

What a shame.... We have a supremely talented community. Hopefully someone can fix this. Echo19 would do a great job for sure, but not for free (nor should it be). Pretty bummed to see the early adopters disappointed in one of the most iconic aspects of the Corsair. Once I get home next week I'll see what I think firsthand.

My misunderstanding, Stevie. Thanks for looking into it.
