First flown in 1946, the P4M lost the competition to be the Navy's next maritime patrol and anti-submarine aircraft to the smaller and less expensive Lockheed P2V Neptune. Unlike the Neptune, which had its auxiliary jet engines tacked on as an afterthought on later models, the Mercator was designed as a four engined aircraft and its jets were integrated into the engine nacelles. Procured in small numbers, the Mercator had a distinguished career in the electronic reconnaissance or "ferret" role, in which it made close approaches to, or actual penetrations of, potentially hostile territory in order to provoke defensive systems reactions that it could measure and record. One patrol squadron (VP-21) operated the P4M-1 for a brief period, and the P4M-1Q was frequently marked in imitation of the Neptunes or other VP squadrons to disguise its ferret role. At least two Mercators were shot down in the performance of the ferret mission.

The package includes four different models and seven textures. It features an entirely re-worked VC and 2D panel. The original model displayed problems with the transparency of fuselage parts, which also has been remedied. The aircraft may work in FS 2004 as well. Original model by David Wooster, new VC and 2D panel by Michael Pook.

Installation:

  • In the case you already have this aircraft, delete it and copy my Mercator folder into your FSX/ Simobjects/ aircraft directory.
  • Copy the gauges in the gauges folder into your main FSX gauges directory.
  • That's it, enjoy your flight.
