[AAi] VS - Pingo

Description
This rover was mainly made to fit into the HS Viking 1 ship, it works great in any enviroment, planet, gravity and athmosphere. With over 180km of real survival playtime, the VS Pingo will be your best friend!


WORKS GREAT WITH





SUGGESTIONS
Parking the rover to the Viking 1 ship is an easy task, if you should see the rover bumping when on the platform (and it may vary based on KSH patch) simply stop the DAS script (quickbar button 4).

BACKGROUND
Ok, this is my first wheeled thing, and I have to be honest, if it exist and goes great is all about the DAS script in which partially I've contributed to it's fine tuning. I'm proud to think that some months ago I was the personal nightmare of Wanderer_308 (the developer of the DAS script).
Since both this Rover and the Viking 1 (link orange image above) were at it's early stage of development and I was trying to make both things work together. Working on the Pingo rover was strictly related on the lifting platform of the Viking 1 ship, both had to work together, fit perfectly and be really user friendly even from someone that was not familiar with both.
Wanderer_308 helped me, and I hope to have helped him to make his script great as it is right now.
I've tested the rover for over 180km in my survival game, traveled a lot on any terrain and it helped me recovering many crates having fun chasing them everywhere.


SCRIPTS USED

DAS Driver Assisting System
The rover travel smooth at 34km/h... if you want to boost it's speed to the limits, press C (while pressing W, ofc!)

Fits perfect to the design of the ship and again very functional.

Ah the MAKO... I wish it looks like that but it's not such that cool, thanks for the compliment :)

Trozzo  [author] 5 Nov, 2017 @ 1:29am 
@Lynnuxx it automatically toggle them on if you exit the rover :)

The rover is great ! It's only lacking one important control in the bar: toggle the handbrakes. Since "P" does way more than just this ;-)
