Auto Credit Based on shibusu's IAS AF-9C

The IAS Aquila is a single-seat, twin-engine swing-role attack and interception aircraft.

It's relatively cost effective design made it popular with the cash-strapped RSAF, ordering several hundred. The re-engined, re-winged M-2C variant operates, despite dated avionics and systems, to this day.

It features an internal gun, a gunpod on hardpoint 4, SAR-4A early infrared guided missiles and SAR-5A early radar guided missiles, of which the latter cannot be fired below 20 degrees downward pitch angle due to ground clutter, on hardpoints 1 and 7, two 400-gallon external fuel tanks on hardpoints 2 and 6, and finally two bomb racks of 500lbs bombs on hardpoints 3 and 5.
To use the weapons basically turn on all the switches on the armament panel.

(Left side panel)
Turn battery on
Turn fuel pump and hydraulics switches on

Once the APU RPM reaches ~75% and the green light turns on:

Turn off starter switches and the APU.

    @7 Hi, I've updated the cockpit to have all the switches numbered in order to flick. The instructions also feature how to start it up. I hope you'll get it to start now!

    Hey, I really want to curate this, but I can't get the thing to turn on. If you could update the XML to have the startup instruction in the craft instructions panel, I will curate it. Also make the quick start button more visible, as I can't see it
