A re-skin with permission from Ian Manion (Vulcan).
A Bombardier Dash 8-Q402 aircraft in Horizon Air post 2002 livery.
It operates on invisible track and will load passengers at a suitable landing area.
The aircraft has an automatically operating landing gear. This retracts at takeoff speed set in the script. It lowers at speeds below this value. Flaps operate automatically, speed set in string table. The speeds for tilting, landing gear retraction, and flap operation may be altered in the string table - speeds are in 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.
The aircraft has a number of animations that can be operated by keyboard keys, or the Aircraft Action Trigger, kuid:76656:24050, 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.
- to open the passenger door, H key.
- issue smoke and sound from the tyres when landing, use trigger setting 4.
- to flare the aircraft for landing, trigger setting 7 or V key.
- come to a gradual stop on landing, trigger setting 9.
- set speed to approx. 40% of maximum speed, for landing approach, trigger setting 14.
Note: Shadow models are required but cannot be animated to follow aircraft animation. If you do not like the shadow showing on the body of the aircraft, in the config call up the shadow_inv.im file which is an invisible shadow.
See my wepages for further details on using the Action Trigger.
