*******************************************************************************

The making request of a very unusual aircraft reached me.
I did not have knowledge concerning this aircraft.
Shape is very simple.
And, If anything, This is an ill-shaped airframe.

Then, why did I make this airframe?
Undercarriage !!
It is only the reason.
Will you think that it is an very interesting undercarriage?
It seems to see the undercarriage of Harrier.
The pelvic fin is like to the thing of Harrier, too.

It is possible to wonder that the aircraft made after WW II is like to the latest aircraft.
What necessity did it exist?

Because I cannot read French............................

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This aircraft is a bimotored jet plane that SNCASO Co.(Sud Ouest government-owned aircraft production) in France produced after concluding World War II.
The headquarters of the staff of a French air force demanded "aircraft that achieves four functions (the light bomber, the interceptor, the ground attack machine, and the surveillance plane) by one basic design".
All Vautour of the production type was named Vautour II and were disposed to a French air force.
And, it took an active part in the arena of warfare about Angola etc.
Moreover, Israel also introduced the N-type (night fighter type) into the end in the 1950's and it used it in the Middle East war etc.

Vautour IIN - This two seat all weather/night attack fighter equipped with an interception radar in the nose took off on its maiden flight on October 16th 1952. 140 examples were ordered by the French but only 70 were produced and 8 served with the IAF.

[ About the directions point in FS2004 ]

This aircraft model is made by using FSDS Ver2.24.
Therefore, it is possible to play basically in FS2004(FS9).
However........!!
For a wide large-scale aircraft, the distortion is caused and the phenomenon of the aerofoil tip's disappearing happens in the spot shooting mode.
If this phenomenon happens, Please switch to the spot shooting mode by using other small aircraft.
Afterwards, if this aircraft is selected, it is normally displayed.
