Royal Belvidia tug conversion

88.7k Kerbango  6.9 years ago

With the rise of the ocean level to catastrophic levels and an extreme shortage of fossil fuels, transportation had to be rethought.
Some used new power sources to propel themselves through the atmosphere others went back to the old tried and true methods of propulsion.
This is an old tugboat that has been refit with a mast and sails.
No engine, no gas.
Do not start with wind speed above 50. Slowly raise wind speed. Steer with roll.
VTOL elevates the cannon turret, trim turns it, Camera 3 for aiming.
VTOL also controls the map display in cockpit view.
Action groups 1,2,3 release the floating barrel mines. (they follow a straight path at the speed that you drop them so you might want to turn soon after deployment. Big booms after contact so be away.
Have fun.

    Pretty cool.... Although it would be cool if you would make a unmodded version. I am on PC now, but I used to be on iOS and I would have downloaded this then, but I couldn't for obvious reasons. @kerbango
