USCM APC - M582

Description
USCM APC - M582 (vanilla)

The M582 has a slightly different layout to M577 allowing for smoother operations and quicker deployment of Marines,

Features include:
Driver's seat - The driver controls the whole vehicle, using the vehicle's main remote control.
Options 1 and 2 activate and disable the turret, respectively. When activating the turret, the Turret Control remote control block _must not_ be controlled. This is an inherent limitation of the turret's mechanism.
Option 3 allows firing all of the vehicle's active guns, including the guns on the rear turret. Firing only the front turret is unsupported. When the turret is retracted, its guns are safely disabled.

Gunner / Navigator's seat - The gunner controls the top turret while another player is driving - connect via the *Turret Control* group in the terminal. Option 1 views from the turret's camera, and 'C' fires the turret's guns.
If the gunner can't control the turret, try allowing the gunner to connect before the driver.

2 x operations seats
top mounted foldable gatling turret (Mart script enabled)
front mounted gatling turret (weapon sweep function)
top mounted spotlight
various light modes
seating for 16 (skinny marines)

Driving notes:

For a better driving experience over rough ground increase the wheel height off-set.

APC backgrounds Notes:

The design of this APC is terrible and would never be used in the real world - the ground clearance is shocking, the turning circle is just as bad, and the list goes on.

The APC was originally built from an old 747 aircraft tow truck, on set the brakes failed during filming and almost killed someone.
Let alone catching on fire and cooking the actors & crew as well. All that being said it is an awesome looking apc and one of my favorite sci-fi designs.

I did want a dropship for it, but that's a whole different project. For more info on the APC check out the fan site wiki[avp.wikia.com]

Ingame scripts and resources used:

Thanks to Axtel_Sturnclaw for all of his hard work on getting the mart script working on the apc, Thanks dude.

Thanks also to GusGrizzly for advising me the door was on the other side, and the time he spent on trying to make it airtight.

all the scripts will probably need updating, there's been meany updates since posting this, try updating the Whiplash141 Mart Script (link just above), but it should be driving ok as it uses the remote block, but now I would just add a small grid control seat,

Unfortunately no longer works properly. Requires some edits to get it to drive, can't seem to retract the turrets either.

@feune, it's been so long, the scripts could do with an update, but it all seems to be working, connect via "Remote Control 6 FFI-5703"
option 1 is weapon up, (bp currant state)
option 2 is weapon down,
once the piston is extended use the mouse to rotate weapon then lock it into position with option 4, ( the scripts need updating as they don't work all the time, hitting the wrong one does not help as well, ) hope this helps dude
