A De Havilland Dash 8-100 Ansett Newmans aircraft. It operates on invisible track and will load passengers at a suitable landing area. This aircraft is registered ZK-NEY and is named 'City of Rotorua'.
The aircraft has an automatically operating landing gear. This retracts at the takeoff speed set in the script. It lowers at speeds below that speed. The speeds for tilting and landing gear retraction on takeoff may be altered in the string table above - speeds are in kph.
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:
- initially the engines are stopped. Use the B key to start or stop the propellers. Under AI you can use the Aircraft Engine Statup Rule.
- it will flare for landing, use key V or trigger setting 3
- it will issue smoke and sound from the tyres when landing, use trigger setting 4. See my wepages for further details.
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.
