Fully working suspension, and easily controllable with the numpad.
Hydraulic canopy, winch ramp at the back, with a second segment on a slider with another winch, which unspools at the same rate as the first, allowing the whole thing to extend and lower in unison. All hydraulics are activated with one button, and carefully timed so that the hydraulic that opens the front moves faster, getting the front glass up before its anchor is lifted up on the foremost wing.
EDIT: The back now has four extra seats, for your peeps to chill in.

I should have got PHX triangles MUCH sooner O_o
also, noclip the 2 pieces of the back plate together so they can overlap inside each other instead of how you've got it now. how fast is it btw? that'd be a cool thing to upload to garrysmod.org tbh.
anyways, I'll post all my crap into this thread later, going back ingame :D

Um, I set the torque on the wheels to 50,000, so it's fast. The wheels actually move too fast for my taste, actually. They wobble off the ground a bit, and if it goes too fast, like, 200mph, the parts that don't have nocollide for reasons you would understand if you built it start colliding with each other :v
PHX is an extremely usefull modelpack if your building. it has all sorts of usefull props. Wire gives gmod a fuck load of new features and lets you do heaps. stargate is just fun (and several servers support it so why not get it), the hoverboard is awesome too (the servers I play on all support it, and it's fun to just play with in SP) and the rest are usefull building tools.
if you wanted to play spacebuild, I'd recomend you get this, this, and possibly this.
on the to do list (not in any order)
weld and no-collide everything to everything (gota find smart constraint..)
get the gravlift system working
get life support working
set up all the control rooms
get escape shuttle (the top level) detaching and autoflying.
set up teleporters to major locations (must make sure the co-ordinates don't get me teleporting into anything important such as the ground)
get some kind of defence system (probably some kind of automated turrets) get it flying
so yeah, this should keep me busy for the next week atleast :D

How'd you get it to fly? Do you have to rebuild it every time you make a new map, or did you save it somehow? And does it work using WSAD, or the numpad?

1. By either using thrusters or something from life support.
2. He saved it by using a tool called Advanced Duplicator. Very useful.
3. That can be set by the thrusters as well.

Yes, the barrels spin. Fast. The wheel that drives it is linked to the fire key for an invisible turret welded to the base, not the barrels, so that it doesn't rotate with them, but appears to be firing from the barrels instead. There's also a large muzzle flash emitter in the same location, as well as one for sparks. All of this stuff has a weight value of 1, except for the base and drive wheel, and has its gravity turned off. The gun below it is a cannon, with another invisible turret and some emitters, but it's less exciting than the minigun :v
For some reason, Advanced Duplicator likes to change the values on the turrets around and flip my emitters the other way. Why? I have no idea.
Oh, Emmzee, you've got some competition in hunter slaying:
Here's some video of the guns alone:
Here's my rocket. It has a seat, with some dynamite attached. This detonates the rocket, leaving only the seat and whoever is sitting in it. A balloon is attached to the seat to help it float slowly down, and is on a long string to prevent it from being 'sploded by the rocket blowing up. There's also a camera attached, so you can look back and determine the right height to detonate the rocket. You can also just keep the thrusters going and have the rocket blow up on impact. You'll live :v
The balloon konked me on the head at the end, taking off 10 HP :awesome:
I originally got the idea from wanting a simple device to quickly get me across the map if I died and had work in another spot. The original idea was to have the rocket blow up on impact, which you can still do.
Oh, and it's tagged as the "Strangelove-O-Matic 3000" :downs:

as in saved through advanced duplicator? there's a folder manager button on the menu, or you can go into the actual dupe files with explorer. (can't remember the directory, I'll check once I've done my homework).
or if it's saved games, delete them from your saved games folder at garrysmod/garrysmod.

Can't remember, but the Lambda Shuttle took like 5 hours to make at which point the server could have crashed at any moment. When it was finally time to fly it, the Shuttle imploded and spazzed and was unrecoverable. The Snowspeeder worked very well however. It's too bad the Shuttle failed it's test flight because I had working wings and a hatch in the back for people to come along with me.
