Tornado Intercept Vehicle 2 (TIV 2)

3,960 CheeserWX  5 days ago

The TIV 2 is a armored storm chasing vehicle designed by Sean Casey to intercept tornados. This variant is the 2013 variant of the TIV 2. It can withstand 200+ mph windspeeds when deployed. The 2013 tiv 2 has no rear flap, but spikes instead. It also has an extra light bar on it.

CONTROLS: Use AG1 for headlights and tailights, AG2 is the airbags. AG3 is for the left flap, and AG4 is for the right flap. AG5 is the front flap, AG6 is front spikes, AG7 is rear spikes. Steering is Yaw. Turret rotation is VTOL. Pitch is throttle and reverse. Landing Gear is to open and close the hatch.

This is the final, most realistic, ultimate TIV 2 I will put out. I've added many minor details that make this build one of the most realistic TIV 2 models on the simpleplanes website. I will NOT be publishing anymore TIV 2 variants/updates. Thanks for reading!
