Northrop F5A Malasia Startup

Northrop F5A Malasia Startup

A Northrop F5A aircraft, startup model in Malaysia colours. It operates on invisible track.

The aircraft has an automatically operating landing gear. This retracts at takeoff speed set in the script, and lowers at speeds below that setting. The speeds for tilting, flap retraction, landing gear retraction on takeoff, and afterburner speed may be altered in the string table above - 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 will load missiles (products) to the hardpoint pylons, the inner ones are animated. You can alter or delete the mix of missiles on load hardpoints in Surveyor - use the ? button. The choice is from, Sidewinders or Maverick missiles. The outer hard point will accept a fuel tank or static missiles. The wingtip missiles are fixed as Sidewinder.

Some of my airports will load or unload products on aircraft. The missiles will not be unloaded at an airport, but if you come in clean, the airport will upload missiles to the hardpoints for use.

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;
- fire the Sidewinder missiles - use the H key, or trigger setting 2;
- flare the aircraft for takeoff or landing, V key or trigger setting 3;
- tyre smoke on landing, use trigger setting 4;
- drag chute deployment for short landing, use trigger setting 5, Chute vanishes after 12 seconds;
- activate flares from the rear of the aircraft, use trigger setting 6;
- set speed to zero (after landing, to stop aircraft), trigger setting 9;
- set speed to 40% of maximum speed, for landing approach, trigger setting 14.

Military and commercial aircraft sometimes use the same keys and trigger settings for different animations. If you find conflict on the same route, set the train priority of the Action trigger for a particular aircraft to a different value to differentiate.
