Skuzzy, any word on what other versions we might see of the Hog?

No, sir. But now you're got me giddy with antici - pation.

Ok ..... found it. I am ..... happy.

Very happy.

As such I will stop asking for the Sherman Tank ... or .... ummm .... even the Spanish Civil War. For at least a month.

(Seriously .... it's good to see the F4U lookin' this good - and detailed - in the game)

Help me i'm feeling lightheaded.

Another question are they updating all the Blue Planes and also when's it out two weeks?

I hope not, I'm impatient to fly her as it is.

I mean, from the looks of things deflection shooting ALONE looks like it's going to be improved as the nose looks like it'll be less in the way of the view ahead.

I think it looks like crap. There are no brakelines visible on the landing gear. There goes the immersion factor.

Those are the trim tab linkages. The vertical piece is a horn attached to the trim tab and the straight line is the actuating rod. It appears that the inboard tab is a normal trim tab because the linkage goes directly into the wing. The outboard tab is probably either a servo or anti-servo tab which are typically used on unboosted flight controls (i.e., no hydraulic system to move the control). If the designer wanted to decrease the amount of pressure the pilot needed to move the control surface he'd put in a servo tab. Let's say you wanted the trailing edge of the aileron to move up, the servo tab would deflect down to assist the movement. If the designer wanted the control force to be harder to move then he'd put in an anti-servo tab which moved in the same direction as the trailing edge making it resist the movement. I don't know which the Corsair used but I'd assume they're servo tabs because of the size of the plane and control surfaces which would require quite a bit of stick force to move without assistance.
