Title: Dot Plane command listing (so far)
Post by: Chalenge on August 03, 2010, 06:50:39 PM
A listing from the game of all the planes and vehicles (and so on) available in AH. This was last updated with the introduction of the M4(76)W and so it will change over time. This is in pdf format.

Its all good! I would think the pdf would be more use to anyone interested but I guess I could just paste it here also... like so.

The following is a list if all aircraft and vehicles currently available via the use of the “.plane ###” command. Where particular aircraft numbers return “invalid aircraft” a blank space has been left for notations (for the occasion that it be used later). When using the command all leading zeros are dropped, so to get the P-51D the command to enter in the text buffer (from the hangar) would be “.plane 1” and then when the enter key is struck the hangar plane will change to the selection. The P-47M (Mike model) is selected with the command “.plane 103” and so on.

An RV8 with miniguns on the wings was used as an AH Convention novelty plane years ago.

The plane survives but the guns are gone.

My Bearhawk can carry a minigun   :)

I don't think the FAA rep will pass it for the airworthiness cert, though   :noid

Experimental only needs to be plainly visible by the occupants. It is written big on the inside.

N numbers are the exact minimum dimensions. I can't think of why that may be.I think it has something to do with insurance.

I don't really want my numbers to be very big, either.  I think size has to do with speed, also.  I remember reading something about how, as you pass certain tiers in speed capability, the minimum size increases.

When I am finished building, I am going to make my experimental decal as large as allowable and put it on the outside, right above the cockpit door..... on both sides :aok

Passenger warning plate will be just as obvious   :D

How long did your build take?

I'm looking at about 2500 hrs total (scratch build)
