A-4G Skyhawk Startup

A-4G Skyhawk Startup

A Mcdonnell Douglas A-4G Skyhawk aircraft, startup model, set up for aircraft carrier operation. 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, 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. Note landing speed above is a fraction of full speed, eg 0.4, not kph.

The aircraft has an automatically operating landing gear. This retracts at takeoff speed (220 kph) set in the script. It lowers at speeds below 220kph. 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, kuid2:76656:24060:1, when placed on track and set to the correct number:

- to start engines, press the B key or trigger setting 2. An engine start rule is also available for AI.
- fire missiles, and the guns in sequence, H key.
- flare the aircraft for landing, V key or trigger setting 3.
- issue smoke and sound from the tyres when landing, trigger setting 4.
- release dragchute, trigger setting 5.
- release flares, trigger setting 6.
- lower tailhoook for 10 seconds, trigger setting 7.
- catapult launch, trigger setting 8.
- come to a gradual stop on landing, trigger setting 9.
- aircraft carrier overshoot, bolter, trigger setting 12.
- operate speed brakes for 10 seconds, trigger setting 13.
- set speed to 40% of maximum speed, for landing approach, trigger setting 14.
