AFHV03 Lynx APC

Mod/Scenario - None (Vanilla)


The third in my series of Armoured Fighting Hover Vehicles is the Lynx Armoured Personnel Carrier.
The Lynx is a 10-person military vehicle with the primary purpose of troop transport. The Lynx can transport an 8-man section to, from or around a battlefield. Along with the driver, the second of it's other 2 seats can be used either by a vehicle commander, mission specialist or infantry officer, as required.
Due to the intended role of the Lynx, its equipment list is rather limited.
The MULTV08 Quetzalcoatlus Mechanised Dropship was specifically designed (or, more accurately, scaled) to fit the Lynx in it's Payload Bay.

- NOTE - the devices have been sorted into custom device groups, upon which some of the custom Device Group Shortcuts depend, so it is strongly recommended to not use the "Auto Group" feature.
1. PropulsionEtc - Turns on & off ALL Thrusters AND Hover Engines.
NB - using the Thrusters "General" shortcut will leave the hover engines off.
2. Headlights - Turns on & off ALL Spotlight blocks.
3. Taillights - Turns on & off ALL red flares on rear.
4. Ventilators - Turns on & off ALL Ventilator blocks (so you can save power in a breathable environment).
1. PowerSave - Turning the 'Power Save' custom signal on turns the following devices off:
1 Generator; WiFi; Holo (LCD) Projector; Light Control Levers & Motion Sensors; Passenger Seats.
2. GatlingTurrets - Turns on & off the Gatling Turrets.
3. GatlingGuns - Turns on & off the fixed Gatling Guns.
4. CloseDoor - Closes any & all outer doors if open - so you can close the doors from in the seats.

None - there is no in-built upgrade path.

As shown in the above screenshots, the colour palette includes 4 primary colours to choose from: Desert Sand (vehicle comes in this colour); Military Green; Arctic White; Dark Grey.
To swap the colour, simply click on the "Replace Mode" check box on the Colour And Texture Tool's UI, then (ensuring that no texture is selected) click on the coloured square that you want to change to, then "fire" the Colour & Texture Tool at any part of the vehicle that is painted the colour you want to replace.


The Lynx is loosely based upon, or, more accurately, inspired by, the M577 APC from Aliens.

- NOTE - any Mini Fridges on board come turned off by default to save power until food is inside needing to be kept cold, and can only be turned off manually (or by turning off all power to the vehicle) from the fridge's own UI to limit instances of food being accidentally spoiled.
