The Fairey Swordfish
Well, today, March 6th highlights the Fairey Swordfish. You can still download it for free from the Bravo Zulu blog now that Flying Stations who created it is now gone. A big thumbs up to Bravo Zulu for saving this and all the other aircraft AND aircraft carriers from extinction. An added bonus for you period flat top flyers is the "PADDLES" gauge which CAN be added to other pre-FLOLS carrier aircraft if you know how to do it. I added it to the Aeroplane Heaven F3F Fighter flying on and off early pre-WWII Enterprise and also the Hornet and Yorktown squadrons. A really lot of fun. A note though to use it you HAVE to keep the Swordfish in your hanger even if you don't fly it. Here it is and the link to find it at Bravo Zulu's blog. I just downloaded and installed it to my desktop which is the way to go. Manually place the files where you want them according to the folders. The LSO is in the panel folder. Have a lot of fun with this iconic aircraft. You can download it from the link below:
https://bravozulu.blog/ This is the up to date blog including what they are up to for MSFS and P3D. So glad they did not stop at just FS9/FSX. Page down to the freeware for the Swordfish download. You can also download HMS Victorious to recreate the Fleet Air Arm 825 Squadron and see if you can locate and sink Bismarck.

Alphasim also created a really nice Swordfish package for FS2002/FS2004/CFS2. You can find it at Flightsim.com, Sinviation and the Virtavia freeware sites. Unfortunately it is not compatible with any sims beyond FS9. The model doesn't work properly and 3/4 of the gauges are FS98 gauges. If you are still flying FS9 you may want to try it out anyway. Alphasim had a very nice package for it "back in the day".
I just installed and tried out the Flying Stations Swordfish in P3D V4.5 and it works perfectly. All gauges are there no stuttering and now I just have to figure out how to do carrier ops in P3D V4.5. Any help would be most appreciated.
