Fairey Gannet AS.1

34.5k GhostHTX  7.5 years ago

Here is a simple replica of the venerable Fairey Gannet AS.1.
She is quite cumbersome, as the real life aeroplane was, not particularly pretty but highly functional.

Controls are;

AG1 + vtol down - flaps (for landing only)
AG2 + vtol down - wing fold (this was a major challenge, so please use it as much as you can)
AG3 + vtol down - arrestor hook down
AG 4 + vtol down - open weapons bay
AG5 - jettison bombs

This is V1. I will try to identify faults and update as I go.

Have fun.
