Yep, CAF is pretty cool stuff. I just respect the guys that had to fly these things back in the day. They didn't have computers to control all of the aspects. I'm not anti-computer

, but these guys were flying planes with a stick, rudder, and throttle. I've met lots of guys that flew the F4U and they swear by them (and sometimes at them).
