Erickson S-64E Skycrane Helicopter Water Bombing Startup

This is a Erickson S-64E Skycrane Helicopter helicopter, startup model. It is a water bombing aircraft for fire fighting.
The aircraft initially has the engines stopped. Use the B key to start or stop the engines. For AI operations, use the Aircraft Engine Start Rule, kuid2:60238:80004:1
The helicopter will lift and hover above the track, using the H key - use the H key again to lower the helicopter, or the Aircraft Helicopter Takeoff Rule, kuid2:60238:80005:1. Maximum hover height is 10 metres.
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 Action Trigger, kuid2:76656:24060:1 when placed on track and set to the correct number will operate the following:
- initially the rotors are stationary, use the B key or triggger setting 2 to start or stop the rotors;
- the helicopter will lift and hover above the track, using the H key or trigger setting 1 - use the H key again to lower the helicopter;
- maximum hover height is 10 metres, variable in the string table above, default setting 10 metres;
- the V key (or trigger number 3 setting) will operate the water suction tube and the water release for fire fighting:
you should first make the crane hover at maximum height, approach at hight level and lower helicopter down (H key).
first press lowers the water tube into a source of water, the tube intake is 5 metres below the wheels when deployed, so make your track height above water to suit;
second press raises the water tube, fly to the fire;
third press releases the water as a spray for fire suppression;
- you can now fly back to reload with water.
