Dry Freighter Semi

30 CreeperNoDenial  5.5 years ago

First craft of my own Simple-Semis Series.

The pylon and structural wings on the side are just for trailer connections.
The trailer body is mainly stacked fuselage slices, making the majority of the trailer solid.
Upgraded versions coming soon.

Controls:
VTOL Down: lower "kingpin"
Landing Gear Toggle: raise/lower "trailer legs"
Yaw: lower the jacks at the end of the trailer for emergency recoveries
Roll-Pitch: WASD vehicle movement control
Activation Groups:
1-Left Blinkers
2-Right Blinkers
3-Parking Lights
4-Beacons
6-Second Axle of Tractor's Steering Toggle
7-Rear Axle of Trailer's Steering Toggle
8-Detach Pylons (auto detached)

Might try a lift-able axle on trailers soon later.

    After some minor improvements, here's the re-uploaded version. Still the first release. Final edition of Dry Freighter Semi, but a Dry Freighter Semi II will be out soon.
