Welcome to Corsair School, a full training course designed to get you mission-ready in the F4U-1D Corsair.
Corsair School is a full training campaign for the DCS F4U-1D Corsair, set in the WWII Pacific theater. Across 20 missions, you'll progress from cold starts and takeoffs to advanced gunnery, bombing, carrier ops, and division leadership. Learn to fly and fight using historically grounded procedures adapted for DCS—covering rockets, dive and level bombing, navigation, and dogfighting. Master formation tactics, wingman commands, and carrier qualification aboard USS Intrepid. By the end, you won’t just fly the Corsair—you’ll fly it like a fleet pilot.
