Fairey Swordfish Ark Royal Carrier Startup

Fairey Swordfish Ark Royal Carrier Startup

A Flyable Fairey Swordfish Mk1; British Fleet Air Arm N° 828 Sqn, Carrier Ark Royal 1939. Reskin by Papou with permission.

A light aircraft used in the First World War by the British. The aircraft tilts and banks realistically. The speed for tilting may be altered in the string table above - speeds are in kph. Note landing speed above is a fraction of full speed, eg 0.45, not kph.
It does not have an operating interior, but does have various exterior views based on an invisible interior, use the [ and ] keys from the interior view. On startup, the pilot tests the rudder and tail elevators.
The aircraft has a number of animations that can be operated by keyboard keys, or the Aircraft Action Trigger, kuid2:76656:24060:1, when placed on track and set to the correct number:
- to start engines, press the B key or use trigger setting 2. An engine start rule is also available for AI.
- issue smoke and sound from the tyres when landing, use trigger setting 4.
- fire gun, H key.
- deploy the tail hook for carrier landing, trigger setting 7.
- fold the wings, trigger setting 11.
- come to a gradual stop on landing, trigger setting 9.
- set speed to 40% of maximum speed, for landing approach, trigger setting 14.
