A reskin with permission from Ian Manion (Vulcan)
An Airbus A319-131 Frontier Airlines aircraft called 'Cloe' the Deer Fawn, number N943FR.
It operates on invisible track and will load passengers at a suitable landing area. The real aircraft is a shorter version of the A320 and can carry up to 156 passengers.
The aircraft has an automatically operating landing gear. This retracts at takeoff speed (280 kph) set in the script. It lowers at speeds below 280kph. The speeds for tilting and landing gear retraction on takeoff may be altered in the string table - speeds are in kph. Flaps operate automatically at speeds below 400kph.
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 and unload passengers at suitable airports.
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 for landing, V key.
- issue smoke and sound from the tyres when landing, use trigger setting 4.
- the flaps operate automatically at speeds below 400 kph, changeable in the string table.
- come to a gradual stop on landing, trigger setting 9.
- use reverse thrust on engines for 10 seconds trigger setting 13.
- set speed to 40% 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.
