Gannet is a very interesting shape airframe.
I hesitated whether to make AS.1 or AEW.3 to the last.
However, I decided it to making AEW.3 with radar in the abdomen finally.
Please wait for AS.1 to be demanded until the next chance.
I will make either............Perhaps...........may be........
I had worry only by one.
Whether this aircraft has a back supplementary gear or not?
It existed in the photograph of AS.1.
But, do it exist really in AEW.3?
I added it at the end when it worried.
To externals so as not to understand, I am relating it to the tail hook.
If you think "There is no such thing", please do not use the tail hook
The Gannet was originally designed as an anti-submarine aircraft. In this role the maiden flight of the Gannet was on the 19th of September 1949. It entered service with 703X flight in April 1953. The Gannet was the first aircraft to use a double Mamba turbine engine in a single engine configuration, each unit powering a set of contra-rotating propellers. It was also the first turbopropeller aircraft to land on an aircraft carrier. This event occurred on the 19th of June 1950 when a Gannet landed on the carrier HMS Illustrious. The Gannets entry into service was delayed because of some major teething problems with both the airframe and the systems integration. In March 1956 and uprated double Mamba engine was test flown and later fitted to all service aircraft. With the development of the dipping sonar in the US, the Fleet Air Arm need for a fixed wing ASW aircraft was in doubt. The Gannet in its ASW role was discontinued and the Gannet AS4 was paid off in July 1960.
Earlier trials had shown the effectiveness of airborne early warning aircraft. As a consequence the Gannet was modified to carry the APS 20F radar used in the trials. In this form, the Gannet AEW.3 first flew in August 1958 and entered service in March 1960. Gannet EW.3's were deployed on carriers until December 1978 when the last unit, 849 squadron was disbanded.
Please copy all files in the \gauges folder onto the gauge in the Gauges folder of FS2002 or FS2004.
A general gauge is saved for the gauge bundled this time.
Beach_baron, kingair, GPS gauges are necessary besides the bundled gauge.
It is necessary to introduce no possession of these gauges separately.

[ 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.
