Airbus A400M Startup

Airbus A400M Startup

An Aitbus A400M transport aircraft, of the Royal Air Force. It operates on invisible track and will load goods or passengers at a suitable landing area. The aircraft had a top speed of 602 mph (336 kph) and an all up weight of 30,500 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 and 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. Note landing speed above is a fraction of full speed, eg 0.4, not 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 use trigger setting 2. An engine start rule is also available for AI.
- flare for landing, V key, or trigger setting 3, or trigger setting 7.
- cargo doors are opened with the H key.
- issue smoke and sound from the tyres when landing, use trigger setting 4.
- the flaps operate automatically at speeds below 120 kph, changeable in the string table above.
- come to a gradual stop on landing, trigger setting 9.
- set speed to 40% of maximum speed, for landing approach, trigger setting 14.
