Sunderland Flying Boat Ansett Beachcomber Startup

Sunderland Flying Boat Ansett Beachcomber Startup

A Short Sunderland Sandringham Flying boat Ansett VH-BRC Beachcomber, startup model. Reskin by Papou on Vulcan Ansett model textures basis.

It operates on invisible track placed 3 metres above the water level. It will load passengers at a suitable landing dock. My City Cat Landing models have been modified with additional track placed, for the flying boats.

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. It has night lighting, pilots and passengers. The aircraft tilts and banks realistically. but does have various exterior views based on an invisible interior, use the [ and ] keys from the interior view.

The aircraft has a number of animations that can be operated by keyboard keys, or the Aircraft Action Trigger, kuid:76656:24060, 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 for landing, V key, or trigger setting 3.
- issue water spray when landing or taking off, use trigger setting 4.
- the flaps operate automatically at speeds below 100 kph, changeable in the string table above.
- come to a gradual stop on landing, trigger setting 9.
- set speed to 60% of maximum speed, for landing approach, trigger setting 14.

Note: Shadow models are required but cannot be animated to follow aircraft animation. If you do not like the shadow showing on the body of the aircraft, in the config call up the shadow_inv.im file which is an invisible shadow.

See my wepages for further details on using the Action Trigger.
