Elco 80' PT BoatWIP
THERE IS AN UPDATED VERSION OF THIS. THIS HAS EXTRA PARTS DUE TO A MIRROR ERROR. This is a roughly scaled remake of the Elco 80' PT Boat. I used data from http://www.pt103.com/PTBoatSpecifications.html and the reference image from http://www.historynet.com/elco-pt-boat-80-feet-of-wood-and-weaponry.htm to make this. It is incomplete, do don't expect it to be perfect. Also, because I don't understand all the jargon, I took a few liberties to the sizes of parts. I also added extra armor to account for SimplePlanes' damage modelling system. Action Groups: AG1: Remove Safety on Bow gun and unlock rotating mount. AG2: Remove Safety on Rockets and unlock controls. AG3: Open Torpedo Tubes.(Note: This may or may not work depending on if I can upload mod parts.) AG8: Automatic Stability System. Don't turn this off. Some Features: Almost perfectly accurate fuel capacity. Non-XML modded parts allow me to attain 3,003 gallons of fuel, rather close to the actual 3,000 in real life. The boat also tilts up a bit. To adjust, point the gun a bit down. The gun also has a safety feature to have only a limited depression angle. The Rockets are a little fancy too. Moving the VTOL slider up pitches them down and raises them up a bit so you don't risk damaging the boat. There is also another cool thing you can do if the torpedo tubes upload right: if you fire the torpedos then open the tubes, all of the torpedos launch in one devestating salvo. If you have a suggestion on how to improve this, put a comment. If you like it, give it an upvote.
