FSX/P3D v3,v4 Vought Corsair Early F4U-2. The Corsair entered service in 1942. Although designed as a carrier fighter, initial operation from carrier decks proved to be troublesome. Its low-speed handling was tricky. Landing a Corsair on a carrier was a difficult task. For these reasons, most Corsairs initially went to Marine Corps squadrons which operated off land-based runways. The U.S. Navy did not get into combat with the type until September 1943. Standard and Nightfighter version included. Native FSX/Prepar3D v3 and v4 model by A.F. Scrub.
