Firebug Tech Vehicle Version 1

"Firebug" Tech Vehicle [16 prims]

The “Firebug” is a hi-tech anti-gravity flying vehicle with the ability to drop clusters of firebombs onto anything below. You can unleash incendiaries with a trigger word. Use the firebombs on areas you want to clear, or use it to attack enemies. The firebombs burn themselves out and vanish after about a minute. Spectacular, exciting fun for role-play.

You can learn how to fly the Firebug in just a few seconds. There's headlights and radar you can turn on/off in chat and the pilot seat has menu-driven pose adjustments to accommodate different avatar sizes.

Features include:
- Very easy to fly
- Can release clusters of flaming firebombs from any height
- Anti-gravity pods glow while in flight
- Working lights and radar screen on/off in chat commands
- Rear flame jet plume
- Sound effects
- Adjustable pilot seat
- DNA-locked version included for owner's use only

Firebombs
Firebombs will burn for about a minute after release, then de-rezz, but you can drop more as many times as you like. WARNING: Do not release the firebombs while you’re parked on the ground or you may set yourself (and everyone else around you) on fire. Drop them when hovering fairly low over your target.

Wait until you're hoverering over your target and say "firebomb" to release a cluster of firebombs. You can change the trigger word if you want to. (See the included Firebomb Guide). The firebombs contain phosphor so they’ll continue to burn underwater.

Flying the Firebug.
Touch the craft or right-click the pilot seat and select "pilot". Once you're seated, the anti-grav pods engage and the vehicle starts to hover gently. Now, you can use the PgUp and PgDn keys to fly up or down. You can use the forward/backward arrow keys to adjust the speed, and use the left/right turn arrow keys to bank and steer. Once you're moving, you'll see the antigravity pods glow stronger and see jet streaming out at the back. You can continue to fire the thrusters and move as long as you keep your finger on the forward arrow and you can even steer as you accelerate.

Hold the Ctrl key down as you use the left/right arrow keys to move sideways. You can carry out some nifty sideways-sliding moves once you've got the hang of it.

Adjustable seats
You can adjust the position of the pilot pose for whatever size avatar you use. Once you are seated, type "/1 menu" and an adjustment menu will appear, with buttons for nudging the pose up/down and forwards/backwards. Once it's adjusted for your avi, your vehicle will remember your settings if take it back into your inventory and re-rezz it.

Lighting controls.
The Firebug is equipped with headlights and rear lights. The radar screen will turn itself on when you sit, but you can turn it on/off manually.

Landing.
You can use the PageDown key to descend. Once you've landed, just stand up and the anti grav pods will cut out automatically. When parked, the vehicle will normally place itself into a slight hovering position just off the floor.

Parking.
If you stand up while you’re still flying, the vehicle will turn off any forward motion and lock its vertical and geostationary position. So, you can park next to a high landing platform or the top of a docking column by hopping out of your pilot's seat when you're in position. It's then safe leave the vehicle.

Security.
The vehicle is DNA-locked, a security feature that allows only the owner to fly it. You won't have any worries of someone else jumping on and flying off with it after you've parked it.
You can also change the keyword that releases the firebombs so no one else can trigger them.
