The Pacific fighters crowd has been begging for the F4U-4 ever since 1C released Pacific Fighters, now we have a Korean map and campaign, but still no F4U-4. Given a choice between having the -4 and the -5, I'd take the -4 as it served in combat during the last three months of WW II and saw extensive use throughout the Korean War. There was a thread discussing the possibility of a -4, I do not know how to 3D model or write flight models, but I offered to provide technical information and photographs. So far, no one is willing to pick up the project.

They have been available from some time already on Histomod and aviaskins, and now on SAS (see http://specialaircraftservice.com/sas/i ... 795.0.html)
The mods include new hsitoriaclly correct meshes for wings, armament and antennas and also new ordnance (meshes and java files) such as AT-HVAR, incendiary clusters, 260lbs frag bombs, new fuel tanks, napalm and other.
The flares java file come from Flakiten's Neptune (I have slightly modified the meshes) and I used the basic frankenplane mod by Ranwers as an initial basis for the development of the new F4-U5N mod. I included the new bombs skins by Zorin with some modifications (100 lbs US bomb added and corrected skins for HVAR - USN version and USAF/USMC version)

The recognized bugs (already corrected on the upcoming final versions) include: oversized gunflash protectors nozzles, problem for dropping left central bomb on F4U-5.
The new version will include 100lbs incendiary bombs , corrected skin for incendiary "aimable" cluster and parachute flare bombs used as an alternative to the regular flares
