1991 D-250 Adventurer

25.3k Rymanx03  3.3 years ago

A prototype special edition D-250, that was originally designed with 3 things in mind. Power, off-road capability, and towing. The first two were easy for Welmade's team, but towing civilian trailers? That was new territory. So, they went all out on everything they knew about trailer towing, and created a self-locking trailer hitch. As well, they created a system using their pusher axle knowledge that allowed the rear of the truck to lower and fit under any trailer's tongue. Next, they knew that the hitch couldn't be permanent, so they allowed it to tuck away under the back of the bed for grocery getting. Lastly, they knew how difficult it was to line up their hitch and trailer hookups, so they added a camera. Overall, most say it was pretty over-engineered, but rightfully so.

It also made a very odd, yet easy vehicle to modify...

Here's your controls:
Pitch and Yaw for main driving,
1-4 for lights,
5 to tuck away the hitch,
6 to lower the truck,
7-8 for engine controls (awd), and
LandingGear to open/close the locking mechanism on the hitch.

    @DEN12345 ah, I see. Heh, that makes a lot of sense now. My whole plan with the trailer/truck releasing side by side was to spawn it in as an AI vehicle, then hook up from there. It allows you to pick up one, drop it off, and grab another one. But hey, either way works, and it's pretty funny when it coincides like that

    @Rymanx03 I spawned on map car and trailer together. Trailer connected to truck. I drived on high speed and I checked(press) all activation groups. ag5 - it's a fold trailer coupling & ag5 - it's a opened trailer doors. Knocking sounds the trailer is detached from the car and drives to the side of the road. I turn the camera - there is no trailer. Where the trailer? ha ha!
    The end. :D

    @Rymanx03 I haven't guessed the overall size this car. it's my mistake. He's looks good even without a trailer yet

    P.S. I didn't understand the question at the your text end.

    @DEN12345 Heh, thank goodness we can spawn things in separately and have it work still, eh?
