Designed as a reconnaissance/light cargo plane, the C-145, nicknamed 'Autruche' (ostrich) was introduced in 1955 in service with the l'Armee de l'Air.

At the back, there's an air-droppable AMX ELC bis which is placed in a crate.

AG 1 for crate parachutes.
AG 3 for tank lights.
AG 4 to drop the crate walls.
AG 5 to drop the crate from the plane.
W, A, S and D for controlling the tank (Roll and Pitch on mobile)
VTOL for turret.
Trim for opening the cargo bay/elevating the gun.

It's recommended that you elevate the aircraft as much as possible, then drop the crate. You can then control the plane as you wish before the crate lands.
I did my best to keep the part count as low as possible. Almost 370 pieces come from the tank itself, that's why it has that many.

    @PhantomBladeCorp i am having some serious issues with XML processing (after download) white colors tend to become " reddish white" or strong yellow (the problem happens in the bottom of the XML file where color palette is given Color codes"

    @BogdanX Took me a while, too, to figure out that I have to use noCollision in order to drop the crate. It would, otherwise, crash into the bay and explode the whole aircraft.

    Indeed, a lot of effort. More than I thought it would take. Still, I'm not content with the details in the aircraft.
