Hey everyone I spent the last month working on this i want to make quality products for you all. The last few uploads I feel like they weren't my best so I spent a while on this one for you guys I learned a lot of techniques to use on this. So please enjoy this will be the first version of this. Next update expectations 1. real decals 2. labels in the cockpit. 3. More details on the exterior. 4. better flight. Suggestions and critiques are welcome 《Goal》i want to make planes and other things for all platforms but mostly VR. I feel there isn't enough immersive VR content for the VR community I feel it's overlooked so please let me know if there are things that should be improved. | TIME LINE 1942–1953. INFOThe Vought F4U Corsair is an American fighter aircraft that saw service primarily in World War II and the Korean War. Designed and initially manufactured by Chance Vought, the Corsair was soon in great demand; additional production contracts were given to Goodyear, whose Corsairs were designated FG, and Brewster, designated F3A. The Corsair was designed and principally operated as a carrier-based aircraft, and entered service in large numbers with the U.S. Navy and Marines in World War II. It quickly became one of the most capable carrier-based fighter-bombers of the war.[3] Some Japanese pilots regarded it as the most formidable American fighter and U.S. naval aviators achieved an 11:1 kill ratio.[4][5] Early problems with carrier landings and logistics led to it being eclipsed as the dominant carrier-based fighter by the Grumman F6F Hellcat, powered by the same Double Wasp engine first flown on the Corsair's initial prototype in 1940.[6] The Corsair's early deployment was to land-based squadrons of the U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Navy.
