FSX/P3Dv3,v4 Fairey Fulmar
  The Fairey Fulmar was a British carrier-borne fighter aircraft that served with the Fleet Air Arm (FAA) during the Second World War. A total of 600 were built by Fairey Aviation at its Stockport factory between January 1940 and December 1942. 
 The Fulmar's design was based on that of the earlier Fairey P.4/34 that was in turn developed in 1936 as a replacement for the Fairey Battle light bomber.
 Although its performance (like that of its Battle antecedent) was lacking, the Fulmar was a reliable, sturdy aircraft with long range and an effective eight machine gun armament. As it was not expected to encounter fighter opposition, high performance and maneuverability were not considered important, but long range and heavy armament were. The provision of a navigator/wireless operator was considered essential by the Navy for the long, over-ocean flights that would be required. 
The first squadron to be equipped with the Fulmar was No. 806 Squadron FAA in July 1940, and this squadron began operating from HMS Illustrious shortly afterwards. The Fulmar was not well matched with land-based fighters. As a result of the two seat arrangement, the Fulmar was far too large and unwieldy when it came into contact with single-seat, land-based opposition, as it did in the Mediterranean Theatre. Yet its long range was useful at times as evidenced in the 1941 chase of the German battleship Bismarck where Fulmars acted as carrier-borne spotters, tracking and trailing the fleeing battleship. First seeing action on Malta convoy protection patrols in September 1940, the sturdy Fulmar was able to achieve victories against its far more agile Italian and German adversaries.
At one time, 20 squadrons of the FAA were equipped with the Fulmar. It flew from eight fleet aircraft carriers and five escort carriers. Fulmars destroyed 112 enemy aircraft, which made it the leading fighter type, by aircraft shot down, in the Fleet Air Arm during the Second World War. The Fulmar ended its front line operational career on 8 February 1945.
There were two varients built 
 Mk I - First production variant powered by a 1,035 hp Rolls-Royce Merlin 8, 250 built. 
 Mk 2 - Updated variant powered by a 1,300 hp Merlin 30 with a new propeller and the addition of extra equipment, 350 built.
	
Installation:
==============
-Unzip " Fairey_Fulmar" into a temporary file and move the "Fairey_Fulmar" folder into the main Aircraft directory.
-Read instructions carefully when installing the gauges ,  say YES...when asked if the gauges sources should be trusted. If you say no....most of the gauges are not going to work !
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
-Leave  all Cab gauges in your panel folder.
-Copy the effects into the   Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator ...\effects folder and the 20can.wav into the Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator ...\sound folder. Fx_tracer.bmp goes into the effects\texture folder. Shift+Enter gives you over the nose view.
Guns are triggered by the smoke key.
-On startup there is automatic engine smoke.
-Then follow the exhaust flames with smoke.
-Wing vortex effect appears by default at 2.5g or quick roll rate.
-Continuous blue flames with smoke if engine is running .
-Wing cannon with flash, smoke and falling cartridges can be triggered with the standard Smoke key (I).
It is much nicer however if you put the standard Smoke key to the trigger from your joystick. You can change this in the Key menu.

IMPORTANT : 
This model only works in FSX and P3D
-exhaust effects use wing/taxi/logo
-guns use smoke . You can put the trigger on the stick, put slider in the middle.
