The brand new, elegant, cargo plane of skies:

Conestoga C-46 Skyvan

Link to Conestoga C-46 Skyvan (WITHOUT JEEP)


Created for personal Civilian Transport, this all-round transport plane has military, heavy-duty transportation capabilities. Loaded with a simple jeep, credit to @BMilan, airdropping vehicles were never before so entertaining.


Controls:

  • AG 1: Open/Close Cargo Door
  • AG 2: Detach Jeep
  • AG 3: Activate Jeep Parachute
  • VTOL: Flaps
  • Normal Flight Controls
Be mindful while airdropping the jeep, use pitch/roll to wiggle the jeep out before opening the parachutes.

Huge thanks to @YourWife, @Freerider2142, and @MrSilverWolf for great suggestions, advice, and helping tweaks.

Have fun as always. Peace.

    @NakAk yeah I can understand that. Sometimes you just want to finish with one to start on another

    @Mustang51 Lol, thanks so much, yeah i agree that it is a little bland looking on the outside, i got a little fed up and unitersested because it was dragging on for too long, and school was getting busier so i ended up just posting it. :)

    This is pretty neat! The control surfaces are excellent, shape is made well, and the function with the jeep is very cool. I do have to say though that the outside feels slightly too plain (pardon the pun). Overall however, its very nice!
