Startup procedure
  1. Turn on "MainBreaker" in the dark yellow part of the top panel.
  2. Turn ON "No.1~4 FuelPump" of the KeyButton in the dark blue part of the top panel.
  3. Turn ON "Monitor&HUD" and "InternalLight" in the khaki color section of the top panel.
  4. Turn ON "No.1~4 EngineStart" in the dark red part of the top panel.
  5. Turn up the throttle to 0.10 using hotkey[1] and hotkey[2] or up/down. The throttle display is located in the yellow section of the lower panel. (Note: operate the throttle using the buttons on the lower panel, as the left and right throttles move separately.)
  6. When spawning in the hangar, the wingtips will touch the door, so turn on "FoldWing" on the KeyButton behind the CO-pilot.
  7. Turn ON "PropellerClutch" and "Collective Adcance" on the yellow part of the lower panel.
  8. Deactivate the "ParkingBrake" by pressing the triangular button on the black part of the front panel.
  9. Throttle up to 0.5 for takeoff.
  10. The proper speed when shooting is 150knots.
  11. The flaps can be operated with the blue part of the upper panel, but you don't need to use them.

Autopilot
  1. Use the blue SmallKeypad to specify the altitude. The unit is feet.
  2. Specify coordinates with the yellow LargeKeypad.
  3. Specify the radius with the yellow SmallKeypad. The unit is meters. When shooting, 800m to 2000m is preferred.
  4. Turn on FlipSwitch "AP" to make the roll horizontal.
  5. Turn on "ALT hold" to adjust to the specified altitude.
  6. Turn on "WP Turning" to turn the roll around the specified coordinates with the specified radius. (Tip: If the specified radius is set to 0m, the aircraft will fly in a straight line to the specified coordinates.)
  7. If "AP" is turned off, all aids will be turned off.

Shooting
  1. Turn on the "COM Breaker" and "FCS Breaker" on the left side of the gunner's seat.
  2. Turn on the "Monitor&BackLight" in front.
  3. Use "Roll Tlim" so that the target is slightly below the center with the camera facing forward (this operation is confusing, so I will add something better later).
  4. Turn on "MasterArm" in front of the camera.
  5. The camera can be moved by w/s for elevation, a/d for rotation, or by touching the screen and moving the line of sight. The camera can also be moved by touching the screen and moving the line of sight. hotkey[1] and hotkey[2] can be used to select armament. hotkey[3] can be used to set the aiming coordinates to turning coordinates. hotkey[4] can be used to zoom. up/down and left/right can be used to adjust the sensitivity and FOV of the camera. up/down and left/right to adjust camera sensitivity and FOV, and Tigger to fire.

Historical Facts and Production Short Stories
The AC-130H Spectre (final type) was in service from 1972. The initial H model was armed with the same two 20mm M61 Vulcans, one 40mm L/60 Bofors, and one 105mm M102 howitzer as the previous AC-130E, though. Finally, the 20 mm M61 Vulcan was replaced by two General Dynamics 25 mm GAU-12/U Equalizer and a nose radome was added. So there were two versions of the AC-130H, which confused me.

Incidentally, this piece was initially modeled after the AC-130H 696573( https://www.flickr.com/photos/collingwoodbarry/14117977757/in/photostream/ ) from the Transformers movie.
The actual model has the Decepticon kill mark. It is not supposed to be a kill in the movie, but this kind of playfulness is very good and cool anyway.
