FS2004 Armstrong Whitworth AW.27 Ensign
By Jens B. Kristensen, march 2010.

Version 1.0

This is an all-new model of the AW.27 Ensign, a large medium-range airliner
built for Imperial Airways (later BOAC) in the late 1930's as a replacement
for their Handley Page HP.42's. Because of the outbreak of WW2, only 12 Ensigns
were built, and they mostly served as transports in support of the RAF.

The package contains several variants:

Ensign Mk.I 'Ensign' of Imperial Airways, 1939.
Ensign Mk.II 'Everest' of BOAC, 1941, in wartime camouflage.
Ensign Mk.II 'Elsinore' of BOAC, 1945.

This package is for FS2004 only. FSX users should get Ensign_V10X.zip instead.

For more information about the aircraft, see the pdf document installed in the \Documentation folder.

Model, panel, virtual cockpit and textures by Jens B. Kristensen, made with FSDS 3.5.1, FS Panel Studio, Paint Shop Pro and DXTbmp.

Sounds:

The sounds are aliased to the DC-3 included with Flight Simulator. You can replace them with more exciting sounds if you wish.

Gauges:

Most gauges are by myself but with much inspiration from standard gauges by Microsoft.
The Lorentz Beam Approach gauge (NAV/DME indicator) is from the KeDi gauge set by Hauke Keitel.

Some gauges (mostly switches) are, with permission from Tom Gibson, www.calclassic.com, based on work by Tom himself, Kevin Trinkle, Ernie Kennedy and Ken 'Mitch' Mitchell. I have used the bitmaps from some of their c-style gauges and made xml-versions of them.

Finally, a big 'thank you' to Hans-Joerg Naegele, who gave me permission to use gauges from his Lockheed 049 Constellation panel (VNConnie049.cab), directly or modified.

Magneto switches and starter buttons are based on public domain gauges by Mike 'Moparmike' Wagner, converted to xml by me.

Good luck flying the Ensign!
