Welmade Antarctic

So, you've decided to fund an expedition. Congratulations! Now you need a vehicle to take your team in. Or, you live in Russia and need a reliable daily driver. Whatever your needs, find your answer in the Welmade Antarctic - the 6x6 ATV of now.

So, now that you've been formally introduced, it's time to get personal.

The Antarctic is a 6-wheel drive, semi-amphibious vehicle equipped with toggleable 4-wheel steering and a 600hp powerplant.

This one in particular is fully loaded, with plentiful interior seating and locking cabinetry for storage. It also comes equipped with a winch, self-recovery system and emergency exit for when things get hairy.

Controls

This is a VR- friendly build, so I've opted for using Trim as our main engine control. Yaw remains for steering.

VTOL controls the winch, and is on at all times.

Groups 1-4 are all light based, controlling your headlights, fogs/auxiliary lights, beacons and hazard flashers respectively.

Group 5 is your emergency exit button, triggering the "pyrotechnics" to remove your rear door. There is also a large pushbar on the rear door, which will activate it.

Group 6 triggers the self-righting gyro, so you can keep going without restarting the game- provided you haven't destroyed anything too hard. It's also much easier to drive at top speed with this on, so I recommend it for flat surfaces.

Group 7 opens the doors. There are also buttons on each handle, if you like doing things manually.

Group 8 toggles the Rear-Wheel Steering, so you can't immediately try to turn around a tree and send yourself rolling at top speed.

Using Landing Gear will toggle the electromagnet on the end of the winch, making it easier to reposition yourself during a recovery mission.

That's about it! Enjoy your new mobile research vehicle!
