Northrop T-38 Talon NASA Startup

Northrop T-38 Talon NASA Startup

A Northrop T-38 Talon trainer aircraft, startup model in NASA 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 as a trainer soes not load missiles.

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;
- flare the aircraft for takeoff or landing, V key or trigger setting 3;
- to open the canopy H key;
- tyre smoke on landing, use trigger setting 4;
- drag chute deployment for short landing, use trigger setting 5, Chute vanishes after 12 seconds;
- 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.
