Auto Credit Based on BaconAircraft's [CLOSED] Special Delivery Challenge - (Scoring complete)

Controls:

Activation group 1: Release crate from clamp
Activation group 2: Main engines (wheels)
Activation group 3: Secondary engines (for use in water)
Activation group 4: Rear loading ramp (trim slider down to lower it)
Activation group 5: Parachute for crate deployment
Activation group 6: Headlights

When using the main engines:
Left yaw = left wheels forwards
Right yaw = left wheels reverse
Left roll = right wheels reverse
Right roll = right wheels forwards

When using the secondary engines, power is controlled with throttle.
Use the VTOL slider for turning when using the secondary engines (up = turn right, down = turn left)

To drop the crate, stop the vehicle. Lower the rear loading ramp, release the clamp and deploy the parachutes. Accelerate straight forward, the parachutes will drag the crate off the back. To detonate the crate, fire the guns.

Description:

As military operations in the 21st century became more focused on counter-insurgency operations, traditional transport vehicles began to show problems. Travelling on predictable routes exposed them to the risk of IEDs and the scattered and fragmented skirmishes required a faster response time than they were capable of. This vehicle is the solution that Geekpride Fabrications has come up with. The Coryto is a fast, amphibious, multi-purpose military vehicle. This model is the cargo carrying version, other configurations are available. All models of the Coryto are built on the same base - a powerful 8-wheel drive system with tank-style steering and an impeller for water propulsion. The result is a fast and agile vehicle that can go almost anywhere and get there fast. This allows the Coryto to avoid IEDs by the simple method of going off-road and avoiding the main transport routes. The high speed also makes it hard to intercept, and allows it to respond rapidly to wherever trouble flares up. In terms of the challenge, you have the choice of either going overland or across the sea on the journey to and from Bandit airport. If you go overland, be careful not to get carried away with the speed - the roof structure makes a fairly good roll cage, but you can still wreck it if you tackle bumps at high speed and get your jumps wrong.
