Hercules AC-130 USAF Spectre

A United States Air Force AC-130 Hercules Spectra Gunship, operating number 90510. It operates on invisible track and will load general goods or passengers at a suitable landing area. The aircraft had a top speed of 210 mph (336 kph) and an all up weight of 26332 kg.

The aircraft tilts and banks realistically. 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 landing gear retracts at takeoff speed (120 kph) set in the script. It lowers at speeds below 120kph. The speeds for tilting and landing gear retraction on takeoff may be altered in the string table above - speeds are in kph.

The Aircraft Action Trigger, kuid:76656:24050 when placed on track and set to the correct number, will operate:
gatling gun is operated using the H key (trigger number 1 setting);
Howitzer is operated uisng the B key (trigger number 2 setting);
rear cargo door using the V key (trigger number 3 setting);
the tyres will issue smoke and sound when landing (trigger number 4 setting). See my wepages for details.

Note the model engine specification is set up for operation in TC3. Original settings for acceleration and deceleration suitable for TRS2006 will not allow the aircraft to accelerate in TC3 - the settings have been increased by a factor of 4. If you find the aircraft accelerates too fast in TRS2006, reduce these setting to one quarter of their value.
