OVO 11

20.0k SpartanSR91  4 hours ago

Known as the OVO 11, this hover vehicle was an oddity from the modding community of Beam.NG Drive. From looking at the original post, the original vehicle used a series of thrusters with .lua scripts to control them. Unlike pretty much every other vehicle from Beam.NG, the OVO 11 could adjust its thrust output to keep itself aloft...even in 'sun' gravity.

This Simpleplanes version of the OVO 11 may not have the same scripting as the original, but can still move around in a similar manner. This vehicle has both a manual and an automatic hover control system, which allows the vehicle to move in any lateral direction. Both capsule doors open, and feature automatic locking mechanisms to seal them when too close to sea level, or moving too fast. The holographic Heads-Up-Display has real time altitude, speed, and coordinate readouts, and can also tell you which of the doors are open, or why the doors closed on their own.

Controls:

Pitch/Roll/Yaw: Lateral Movement

Throttle: Overdrive (combine with boost for even more speed)

Trim: Adjust Hover Altitude (Automatic Hover Control)

VTOL: Adjust Hover Altitude (Manual Control)

AG1/AG2: Open/Close capsule doors

AG3: Boost (combine with overdrive for even more speed)

AG8: Toggle Main Power

Additional Notes:

  • The original vehicle did not have any exterior lights or HUD, they are a little bit of fun on my part.
