hock:

Which is a shame, this bird is really needed to round out the corsairs, because combined with Ranwers' F4U-2 mod for the Mk. I, we have all the 'sairs used in WWII except the -4...
Guys, I wouldn't exclude the possiblilty of a bug in the files I put together, but you guys are talking of slightly different issues that end up in a crash.
On the other hand, there are other pilots here who seem to get it right.
It never crashed on my PC, and I must tell you I did a lot (indeed a lot) of tweaking and testing.
I can't reproduce what you're facing, so the best way to sort it out is:
- 1) Make sure you did well during the install; you must insert the text lines in the correct files, and sometimes even pasting one gets some typo in it; be sure you got it right.
2) Disable all your mods to test this one - use the minus prefix trick, it's very easy; if you can run it good with all other mods off, then its a mod conflict issue - more of that later on.

I knew someone would point that out, but I left it anyway so we can discuss the historical weapons.
I read somewhere that the F4U-1A was exactly the F4U-1 with the birdcage changed to a bubble hood, but I doubt it, neverthless I made the US Birdcage as a clone to the Corsair MkI already ingame. I switch the bomb types to US, and I kept the same weapon options as the MkI; I even included one more configuration, the one I think is missing in the F4U-1A, which is the 1x1000lbs bomb on the central pylon.
So, you Corsair freaks out there, please tell me what weapon layout should be closer to reality so I can correct it.
Meanwhile have fun with the Birdcage.
