This was an experiment to see if I could make a meachincal walker and it mostly worked. I learnt lots from this. This is an amazing game, most of the time it is possible to achieve the ideas one comes up with… This one was tedious, but totally fun.

Use VTOL up or down and around 30 to 50% thrust.
If the mechanics get stuck tweak the VTOL control or move it in the opposite direction (this is analog remember).
From the cokcpit view use roll and pitch to look around.
For emergency stop hit the breaks, but be warned!

    @hypnotoad Thanks and yes. I learnt a bit from the mechanical spider and applied that to this... Once you figure out a certain aspect, it goes quick, its the problem solving that is time consuming - as I suspect you know all to well. At least for these ground vehicles one doesn't need to consider flight dynamics...

    Ahhhhhhh so many moving parts. This must have been a culmination of so much trial and error it's u real. I feel for you man, as you say tedium often ruins ones drive, so well done for working through it to complete this masterclass in forward thinking. Excellent
