Hello and Thanks, SteamPunk Fan,
Based on some of the inspiring work out there in Steampunk vehicles, a slightly different airship design for you.
This airship was commissioned in May 2009 as a small, light craft that still carries friends for touring SL.
This is a physical vehicle. Be careful crossing sim boundaries. Keep a spare copy of the WhirlyTri in inventory.
The triple anbaric helix impellers are timed to idle without turbulence. The venting of Cavorite gas from the fuselage is perfectly normal operation. Perhaps the designer will find a way to cloak this spillage in future designs.
The pilot cabin windscreen is reinforced with brass gilded metal work and includes an amber sun-block feature. Views are quite nice despite protection from adverse wind and small arms fire. There is a anti-glare pattern worked into the glazing.
This ship has been tested underwater in the Caledon Firth and the Vernian Sea. It is a nimble underwater craft tested to depth of 300m in several sims. If operated properly, there is no chance of death from anbaric shock.
As sold, the craft holds 2 plus pilot. There are prims you can remove if you wish to change the seating. Do not change the Root Prim if you add or subtract prims.
Captain/Owner should be seated before passengers.
Included:
29 prim 'whirlytri' airship
suitable for three avatars to tour Second Life
physic flight motivator
use arrow keys to move
pgup and pgdown to rise and fall
shift+arrow key slides the craft sideways
Xtra special included:
animated textures
particle effects
engine sounds
Navigation warning lights
opening canopy
real props, not alphas
folding wings (work as landing skids)
Mod/copy so you may color to your own tastes
Xtra special feature!
the props 'start' and 'stop' when you speak those commands to the engine
note also there is a 'fast' prop swing command that does not affect the engine speed
note that touch click on ship body will turn on light (front headlamp)
Special Note !!!
I hope you enjoy the 'whirlytri'. I have left all pieces copy mod so you can experiment. Be careful with the scripts, especially while the airship engines are running.
Please make a copy of the original before you tinker. I cannot replace 'broken' sets.
Happy Flying.
Miss D Ember
tech notes and thanks:
This humble shipcrafter is not a scripter. Please don't break/mod the scripts because I cannot help you fix them.
My thanks to the gracious Muttonchops Chaplin, Dean of Oxbridge University, for his corrections and improvements of the Chaplin motivator product that drives the WhirlyTri. Thanks also to his Grace, Duke of Middlesea, for his additional sounds lent to the project.
