The game has the Corsair MkI, which is the RN version of the F4U-1.
When using a USMC skin (Guadalcanal February 1943 timeframe for example) with markings turned on and selected to USMC (same results occur if you choose USN and USAAF) we do not get the correct US National Insignia. We get a lighter shade of blue circle than was historical and the white star points stick out beyond the edges of the blue circle. It is similar to what the VVS did to lend lease aircraft described in the next paragraph.
On Russian P-400's & P-39D's that arrived from the US via lend lease they arrived in Russia with the factory green paint, blue circle with white start (edges of star touched the edge of the blue circle. The VVS left the blue circle but painted over the white star with red paint and extended the points of the star beyond the edges of the blue circle.
1. Is there a way to fix this problem?
2. Can the early war dark blue circle with white star be forced to display when using the Corsair MkI and selecting USMC for markings without having to use a 3rd Party program like IL-2 Mat Manager (I know the locations and quality is better) which I use now?
3> Can the plane name be changed on a folder and associated with the US so the correct National Insignia will be displayed?
4. Is it possible to add an additional plane be added with with the exact flight model and parameters of the Corsair MkI, but be named F4U-1 and associated with USN & USMC? [This could be applied to P-40E (Kittyhawk Ia) & P-40M (Kittyhawk III) so both type could be used as static aircraft at the same time (USAAF & RAAF) on the same map for example in New Guinea.]
Only 95 Corsair MkI were built and best I can tell they never saw combat due to the fact that it did not have the clipped wings making them too tall when folded for storage on Royal Navy hangar decks nor do I think that were ever used in combat operating from land bases.
Thanks for any information you can provide.
