The FH-1 Phantom was one of the first US Navy carrier based jets. Only about 60 were produced as it suffered from lack of power from the early axial flow jet engines. This is a FSX native project compiled with Xtomdl SP-2. It has the usual animations plus folding wings and operating tailhook. The single Landing Light is controlled by tailhook position thanks to a XML gauge created by Rob Barendregt. It has reflective glass, bump maps and .dds textures. The 2D panel and VC are based on a photo and the VC has operating gauges and animated flight controls. It is painted for VF-17A assigned to the USS Saipan in 1948. By Paul Clawson
