FSX Grumman Avenger TBM-3W

Grumman TBM-3W Avenger brings postwar airborne early warning to FSX with a detailed Gmax model and authentic radar-picket role, reflecting the 1946 fleet aircraft later teamed with TBM-3S hunter-killer units. It includes a functional virtual cockpit, custom gauges, effects, and sounds for convincing Cold War-era patrol flying.

The Eastern TBM-3W Avenger was an airborne early warning radar aircraft developed during the Second World War but that only entered service in May 1946. The TBM-3W joined the fleet in May 1946, and was soon paired with the TBM-3S in hunter-killer anti-submarine teams. The powerful radar in the -3W would be used to find a potential Soviet submarine, guiding the -3S onto its target. The -3W remained in service with the US fleet until the mid 1950. Gmax model, tested in FSX/FSX Acceleration/FS2004 Windows 7/8 by A.F. Scrub.

Installation:

  • Unzip " Avenger_TBM3W" into a temporary file and move the "Avenger_TBM3W" 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!
  • Paste all gauges and Cab into the flightsim gauges folder.
  • Copy the effects into the Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator \effects folder.

Very stable. Simplistic, but functional 3D panel. If you like to fly a slow monoplane, this is a good choice! Great for deck landing practice.
