Aliens Dropship UD-4L Cheyenne

The Dropship from the 1986 Movie "Aliens" - UD-4L "Cheyenne"

##############################################################
MODS are fixed, once all the MOD Authors place thier mods on the Workshop,
I will start updating this world once again and list the required MODS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
##############################################################


This is the most detailed and fully functional Dropship on the Steam Workshop to date! It features Fully Functioning Landing Gear, Missile Pods, Loading Ramp with secondary access ramp and many more features!

This is still a work in progress but the Dropship and the APC are 95% Complete. The Hanger bay still needs to be completed; however, given the current state of optimization of SE rendering is becoming an issue.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Known Issues/Bugs:

1. The Ship is actually about 2x the size of the one featured in the Movie. ~65m in length vs. 29-31m (Movie Prop)

2. This ship has a lot of rotors and just like every rotor in game its tends to break if the attached body is moved rapidly. So take note, if you wish to fly the ship do so very slowly!

3. The APC down opens downward instead of sliding. (Game Limitation)

4. Thrusters are turned off. Please insure that "Thruster Damage" is turned OFF!

5. When the APC is on the loading ramp or in the loading bay it is impossible to enter or exit the APC without removing a wall or two... Copy and paste the APC or simply add a cockpit to the roof to drive APC down the ramp.

6. APC does need a little more attention.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How to:

There is an exterior control panel attracted to the ship, this is done so, so you can try out the landing gear and other various moving parts, without it, it had a tendency to get squirrelly and items would break. If you chose to fly the ship simply delete the arm attached to the ship.

Everything you need to move is grouped in the control panel window. Double check you are opening the right "Missile Pod" first, it is listed as to which should be opened first and which should be closed first.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Upcoming Plans:

1. With Pistons, new APC sliding door is possible!!!

2. Adjusted Landing gear with pistons [Hopefully pistons are fixed when using merge blocks, otherwise this won't work... :( ]

3. Adjustment for all rotors using the displacement.

4. Possibly updating the loading ramp using blast doors to give it a good seal on the ship.

5. Work on creating the Sulaco's hanger bay with 2 dropships, 1 with Mass blocks for "dropping"

6. Importing or creating LV-426's "Hadley's Hope"
