AC-130 Gunship

Mod BaconAircraft  8.7 years ago
Auto Credit Based on BaconAircraft's Lockheed C-130-J Hercules

By popular request, i decided to make my C-130-J into an AC-130 Gunship!
The AC-130 is based of of the shortest c-130 produced, so i reduced the length of the fuselage and also adjusted the wings to be more realistic.

CONTROLS:
AG-1 + VTOL: Flaps
AG-2 + VTOL: Tail gate
AG-3 + VTOL: Aim cannons
AG-4: FLARES!!!!
AG-5: Drop fuel tanks
F10: Self destruct >:)

Takeoff Instructions:
AG-1 + VTOL, slide the bar up, it should put the flaps down.
Power up!
Once in the air, retract gear (G) and retract flaps (vtol slider to middle) and then disable AG-1

Gun Instructions:
Make sure all other AGs are disabled, EXCEPT 3 AND 8.
Aim via VTOL when AG-3 is activated. Once done, disable AG-3

LANDING INSTRUCTIONS:
Once corrected onto a GLIDE PATH, disable 8.
Once slower than 260MPH, put flaps all the way down (AG-1 + VTOL slider up)
Touchdown gently.
Do not apply breaks immediately, steer the plane to centre via YAW, once cenntred, apply breaks (B).
