Description
WORK IN PROGRESS
- crane is now planet ready
- you can now control the height of the arm
- you can now rotate the connector
______________________________________________________________________________

Maximum load: 50 tons (at 1G)

Description:
I needed a crane to pick up and move my Universal Cargo Units (UCU) on bases, moon- and planet surfaces and load them on a freighter like my I designed it to load UCUs on my Packhorse Transporter

Planet Ready (NEW)
Moon Ready
Space Ready
Survival Ready

Usage:

- Use the menu bar to raise and lower the crane's arm. (see image)
- 4 artificial masses on the crane's center are on by default
- you can activate 6 more artificial masses if you try to lift something heavy (like a full UCU or a UCU that has its own artificial masses activated.)
- on the second row of the menu bar you have the UCU's default groups (landing gears, connector, artif. mass etc)

Loadout:
- large reactor
- oxygen tank
- h2/02 generator (because you may want to use it on a space platform or on mars/moon)
- lights
- medium cargo container
- battery
- gyroscopes (so you can steer a bit with your mouse to position the UCU)

since I'm not using a script, it's not possible to speed it up at the moment. You can try moving the mouse up and down. The crane should react to your mouse movement to some point.

How do speed up the process of it raising the crane arm or lowering it? Because currently it takes quite awhile to do so..

Nice work man!

Thank you. It is designed to load the Packhorse in first place but it should be possible to use it for the Elephant, too. But I will have to add another set of timer blocks so you can raise and lower the connector's mount.

Nice one ! Is the top rotor able to rotate the UCU, in order to load it on the Elephant's side ?

Thank you but I think I found a quite simple solution using a simple script made in VSB. I will test it tomorrow.

It can be a pain to set up but I've had lots of luck using Timotei~'s MArmOS script for crane arms. It allows you to control the arm from the cockpit as well.
