描述
The Pontius T-2 is a (fictional) single-engine turboprop trainer aircraft that is based upon the Pontius T-1 and replaces the T-1's Diesel engine with a jet engine.

Like its predecessor, the plane is capable of aerobatics and, due to its exceptional range, can be used for scouting and exploration or, utilizing the plane's 10 EHCS compatible hardpoints, it can be armed and turned into an effective light attack airplane. For defense against radar-guided weapons, it relies on its 16 x2 chaff launchers with optional auto-chaff functionality.

The plane can be flown from either seat, however, by default the rear seat takes precedence over the front seat, when the rear seat is occupied. This precedence can be switched from both seats.

The plane can be spawned at the smallest hangars and at gas stations.



Statistics
  • Crew 2
  • Length 15.00m
  • Wingspan 13.75m
  • Height 5m (with landing gear deployed)
  • Wingarea 33.125m²
  • Dry mass ~2,500kg
  • Wet mass ~3,200kg
  • Cruising speed ~180km/h
  • Top speed ~330km/h
  • Range ~1,200km

Preflight
  1. Ensure main battery is ON (main battery is on by default; to verify, check behind service hatch located on the ventral side towards the rear of the plane; key switch labeled "main battery" needs to be ON)

Be aware
  • The plane is metric. Altimeter is in meters, speeds are in km/h and fuel is in liters.
  • The HUD shows ground speed, not airspeed.
  • The plane's fly-by-wire system will interpret any pitch and yaw inputs as desired rotation speeds. This includes trimming.

Support for physical throttle lever
This plane supports both, controlling the throttle via the keyboard (up/down arrow keys) or via a physical "sticky" throttle lever (e.g. on a flightstick or HOTAS). Please make sure to set the flip switch in the cockpit, to the right of your seat, labeled "resetting throttle", accordingly! If you are using a physical throttle lever mapped to axis 4, turn resetting throttle ON. If you are using keys or buttons or a (resetting) game controller axis to control the throttle, ensure resetting throttle is OFF.

Startup
  1. Avionics ON
  2. Anti-collision lights ON
  3. Turn on other lights at your discretion
  4. Ensure propeller collective is ZERO
  5. Ensure propeller is clear
  6. Turn engine ON
  7. Close canopy
  8. Wait for the red "RPS Low" warning light to turn off
  9. Release parking brake
  10. Propeller collective to 10%-20% to taxi

Takeoff
Can take off of small air fields like the one at Dreimor, or with less than half the length of one of the large runways like O'Neill Airbase or Harrison Airbase.
  1. Line up on the runway
  2. Propeller collective to 100%
  3. Keep your plane on the runway using yaw
  4. When your airspeed moves into the green (> 140 km/h), pull up gently
  5. Set collective to climb at your discretion (typically 50%-100%, depending on how steep you want to climb)
  6. Retract landing gear
  7. Once you have reached your desired altitude, set the propeller collective as desired (typically 35%-50%)

Cruise
To fly this plane most efficiently, after reaching your desired altitude, set your propeller collective to 35%. The resulting airspeed in level flight should be ~ 180km/h (this may vary depending on wind conditions).

Be aware though, cruising like this does not work in strong winds. 35% collective will not generate enough force to maintain a good airspeed in strong tailwinds. You will have to increase the collective to 40%, sometimes even 50%, in order to hold altitude under such conditions.

When cruising with 35% propeller collective, one full tank of fuel should last for roughly 7 hours of cruise flight.

Landing
  1. Deploy landing gear
  2. Speed on final approach should be around 160km/h (~30% propeller collective)
  3. Attempt to touch down very gently and with all three wheels at once, to avoid a nose or tail strike
