The A-40 Is the ultima, the magnum opus, the best there is. It's UPDF's most renowned work. It's the pinnacle of aeronautics, dominating the skies of many despite being in the hands of few


So.. what makes this thing tick? [ A guide to functionality and some lore dump ]

The craft is quite literally jam packed with state of the art weaponry, each to serve an entirely different purpose... lets explore in depth.










It's got more [Space Drives/Plasma drives]


Above is the reactor for the space flight [Thanks for this, Thomas.]
It's the soul of this craft as it allows you to go to space with ease. Below you will see quick guide with how to use it.








Triassic? isn't that related to dinosaurs? [ How the A-40 manages to keep control in space ]




why such a high regard for this thing? [ What makes the Echostar kinda cool...]

She's a quirky one. I mean.. space flight and all... but it gets weirder or better... depends on who you are.

Starting with....

The Cockpit.

The miscellaneous

Last but not the least [I may have missed something and may post an update]


And honestly... that's that! I'm sure that I'm still missing something... but I ensured that you got all you need to fly it and have some fun doing so.. Tell us how it's performing for you... we ( the people who worked on it) would love to know what you think about the build in the comments... really! I love reading them!

Lastly... I must thank those who made it all possible... sooooo


[ For those who skipped here ]

The aircraft is space capable.

AG1 for weaponry activation

AG2 For the Triassic compensator override ( They start in space, but you can start it in atmosphere and do some cool post stall stuff )

AG3 For the lights

AG4 for Itano circus or a barrage mode. It nulls out the Delay between
launches so basically you can send all 40 missiles all at once.

AG7 For the plasma drive or space engines which only can start once you pass
90,000 feet. You use the guns to fire them.

AG8 Open the canopy ( Closes at speed anyway so you don't need this)

The nimbus weapon does not accelerate, it will hold the speed you launch it at

The wolfpaws aren't very special, but they do big boom...

The hypervectrons do not need you to lock on to anything. Select the target, regardless of where it is and them let them go.

I'll be Uploading lore on forums later if people seem to be interested in reading it... It's very extensive, in depth and hence deserves it's own little Post. Thank you so much for reading all of this!
