Larsson Mainlander Jeep With PBR Mirrors + All Wheel Steering + 12 Colors + GTFO! Ready Version 10.5
This unique 2-door sports utility cargo delivery jeep has been specially designed to travel SL mainland roads and off-roads. It is speedy with carefully designed scripting and vehicle geometry to give you highly reliable fun on and off roads.
Mainlander is very popular with mainland drivers. I continuously update its features. Version 10.5 is dated September 23, 2024.
Version 10.5 has my experimental PBR enabled rear view mirrors (center, left and right). In SL, PBR "mirrors" simulate mirror-like reflections. You must use one of the latest PBR enabled viewers to see mirror-like images. The more detailed and dynamic your mirror graphic preference choices, the greater will be your viewer induced lag. So, be sure you read and understand the blogs etc about how to select your graphics preferences and be prepared for a bit of a learning curve. At least one SL source claims that PBR mirrors will not work on vehicles. Nevertheless I have found that it does work and it is entertaining to see actual moving reflective images in your mirrors as you drive along.
Inside box are two vehicle options. One is preloaded for current GTFO! (v1.9.2). Second has no GTFO! stuff inside for those who just want to have fun. GTFO! specifications are: Jeep | Capacity: 1 Crate (10 FU) | Overhead: G$0 per km,
Mainlander uses all my own scripts written by me. No other SL vehicles offer my original scripts carefully tuned for mainland driving, nor do they have my vehicle geometry. No other SL vehicles give you this superior combination of stability, driving ease, and smoothest region crossings.
Driving parameters have been carefully tuned for success on mainland roads and even most surprising off-road challenges with stability on steepest hills and even rock climbing. To select handling characteristics key words 'city' or 'road' or 'track' in chat or /2 chat. My special handling algorithm will also automatically adjust handling according to vehicle speed.
There are 12 speeds (5 to 60) and one reverse. Use on-screen jump up/down arrows to change speeds. Owner chat messages say (1) gear numbers as you change, (2) gear power, and (3) my active steering coefficient.
Key 'hold' or 'release' in chat or private chat /2 to use the cruise control at the speed you select.
Key 'stop' or 'start' in chat or private chat /2 to turn engine on and off.
Driver sits by clicking anywhere on colored part of body. Front seat passenger sits by clicking on the roll bars. Back seat passenger sits on cargo crate. Driver and passenger seats all adjust with AV Sitter.
Visibility of cargo crate is controlled by loading and unloading automatically by GTFO! HUD as you accept and deliver freight assignments. However, you can control visibility of cargo box yourself anytime by touching it.
Lights work with SL Advanced LIghting System. Touch yellow button on dashboard to activate.There are three light options each with a dashboard button: headlights, driving spotlights, and running lights front and rear. Activate advanced lighting in viewer graphics preferences to use this feature. You will hear electronic sound to confirm you have touched buttons.
With Mainlander you control view you want. Key "v1" for standard behind vehicle view, "v2" for view just behind driver, "v3" for white knuckle driver view where you see steering wheel turn as you turn, "v4" for nifty center windshield view (use this view to see your rear view mirror while driving), and "V5" for a wowser elevated view from behind. Now you are in total view control at all times.
Touch rear license plate to easily change plate anytime! I loaded three plates to get you started. Make your own 1024 x 512 plates (copy only is fine) and drop as many as you like in contents tab of license plate. Then touch anytime you want to change plate and you will see it change and a private chat message giving inventory name you gave plate. You will also hear a cheerful confirming beep sound.
To sound horn key a "b" in open chat or "/2b" for private chat.
You will hear engine start sound when you sit to drive and exhaust will appear at exhaust pipe. Over road engine sound begins when you drive vehicle forward or back. Idle sound and exhaust ends when driver stands.
Currently there are 12 color choices: nacho, sky, pink, fire, berry, gecko, yella, metal, forest, ocean, ghost, and darth. Key color name in chat or private chat /2 to change color anytime.
There is touch to rescale when you touch rear suspension under vehicle (rear axle differential). Rescale menu will appear on viewer screen.
Enjoy wonders and creativity you will find as you drive your new Mainlander throughout SL mainland or wherever your driving adventures take you.
Please feel free to contact me if you encounter any problems or have questions, I am happy to be of assistance.
Thanks and stay safe!

Great product and great service
I had the chance to play with the latest version and it's awesome and even better than before. V4 is the best PoV for my (lack of) driving skills, and it allowed me to negotiate the tight curves at http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Scandium/59/6/22 where I always get stuck (or fall into the ocean!) using other vehicles.
I love it
This Jeep is brilliant so easy to drive and handles sl roads very well. I just wish I could change it's colour I would love to have a pink one.
