This forum relates to this and this
.
So a decent of people were excited for this, even I was. I have worked a lot on it without posting any progress posts and have decided to delay the truck with the crane but will post one without the crane soon I guess.

There are reasons for this, it's not exactly by choice.
So after every step of building the crane is tested, and I managed to make it work pretty well, but what I had not done yet was attach it to the truck itself with a rotator (so that the crane can rotate) so I tried that.
.
If the crane is attached to the truck with a rotator in the same direction as the truck, (I don't have any new pictures of that, but the below picture explains it well enough)

If the crane is attached in this direction everything works fine, all the controls work, the crane turns, extends, the boom sections can go up and down etc.

but if I attach it in the correct direction, like in the picture below:

The crane will start acting very weird:
One of the sections elevates with VTOL and the other section with TRIM.
But if the crane starts in this direction, both sections will elevate with VTOl and the boom that is supposed to elevate with TRIM starts spinning out of control.

I have tried many different ways to fix it. I was unsuccessful.

Idk what about the games physics makes this happen... that depending on which direction it starts either it will work fine or it will be broken...

This results in me having no other choice than to delay the version with the crane until I find a way to fix it.

The good news

The truck.

Although not as exciting without the crane, it's still a pretty nice truck.
I'll make a teaser later as the truck isn't finished yet (missing some stuff like license plate)

It has some nice custom features like a fancier horn like this one I posted
And a feature I'm pretty happy with:

Light switch, instead of wasting an activation group this truck comes equipped with an "extra activation group".

So yeah... Upvote or comment to be tagged.
