Blackwind's Tumbler

For this Adv dup you will need:

phx
tiled blocks
XQM (though one version of the vehicle has been modified to remove this - though doesn't look as good)
Wire

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

This Tumbler model is quite maneuverable (if can make i round the GM_mobenix race course easily - it can
even beat the ai racers if your good enough) and utilizes realistic steering in the same way the real one does.
I've included a picture of the original frame so you can see where the invisible parts are.

This vehicle is unfortunately constraint heavy - i may make a stripped more server friendly version later
(feel free to do this yourself). A lot of parts had to be no-collide-ed to prevent spazing at speed or after jumps,
if you enter the vehicle at the sides crouch walk through the side and then aim at the top of the seat to enter
without clipping. Due to some error or other the seat - which used to be the animated seated driver is now sticking
out of the roof. Replace the seat if this bothers you - but sometimes that results in the loss of the
Adv pod controller - ruining the vehicle.
If your posing with it you might want to add the vehicle glass from the counterstrike cars.

W - forwards
A - Left
D - Right
S - reverse (slow only - and not very maneuverable, try using the boost for turning)
Shift - speed boost (adds thrust forwards and for turning)
Space - break (uses weld latches)
Alt - Jumping engine - short bursts only, short ramp/ higher surface required for best effect

I intentionally left several parts controllable by the numpad 1) to cut down on wire
parts and 2) to allow remote control (though only at low speed)

8 - forwards
4 - left
6 - right
5 - reverse
/ - parking break (toggles vehicle free wheeling when unoccupied)
