This is a complicated machine, bear with me.

Controls:

Act. 1 - door
Act. 2 - Engines
Act. 3 - Hydraulics
Act. 4 - Headlights
Act. 7 - Windshield wiper
Landing Gear - Parking Brake
Yaw - Lift/lower arm, proportional control
Trim - Open/close bucket, also proportional

Instructions for VR use:

1. Start the engine by pressing the top right button (tan). This will activate group 2.
2. Engage the Hydraulic systems by pressing the top right button (green). This will activate group 3.
3. Disengage the parking brake by pressing the second right button (red). This will retract landing gear.
4. You can use the second right button (black, round) to open the door (Act. 1), the third left button (black, rectangular) to turn on the headlights (Act. 4, and the third right button to turn on the windshield wiper (Act. 7).
5. Control the loader by using the left joystick to drive and the right to operate the bucket and arm. Pitch and roll control driving, and Yaw and Trim control the arm and bucket respectively. Pull back on the right stick to raise the arm, push down to lower it. Push it right to open the bucket, push left to close.

Notes: All controls are proportional. Once you let go of the left stick, the vehicle will stop. While driving, you must let go of any forwards or backwards input before turning. When you lower the arm or close the bucket, there is some excess output due to the nature of the FT code I used, it can create some delays when trying to raise the arm or open the bucket again, you'll see what I mean.

Description:

The Asteroid Industries WL650 is a 1 and a half ton skid steer loader, WL meaning "Wheeled Loader". I definitely did not get the 650 from a Bobcat S650, nor did I base this heavily on one including use the blueprints for it. Like a real life Bobcat, this machine is rented out by United Rentals, a real company that rents not only skid steers but excavators, front loaders, graders, telehandlers and more. Since it's a skid steer that only weighs about 3,000lbs, it's very easy to flip with the bucket up, and on steep inclines even with the bucket mostly lowered. It is not a fast vehicle with a top speed of 7.1mph, but it's got a ton of power behind it. This was the first vehicle I've made with the intent to be more compatible with VR than with the actual game. Actuating the bucket is a bit easier using a VR joystick than it is using the in-game slider.
