Description
[DISCLAIMER] This vehicle was created in the EXPERIMENTAL patch, for use in the water as well as land. Whilst spawning this creation in 1.0 will not cause any issues, any experimental parts used will be removed by the game. And, of course, 1.0 has no functional water, so it'd be pointless anyway.

===========================================================================

Bob needed a delivery vehicle for his pool float business, so he employed the 2008 Horizon Novus to do the job. Of course, he tweaked it juuusst a bit.

From the outside, it's a normal box truck. Sure, it seems to be missing an exhaust - until you notice it's hooked into the airflow unit above the cab - and the unusual tarpaulin on the roof is a tad suspicious, in conjunction with the blocked-off grille, but other than that, it's just the same as the next boring, old, whitewashed flat-front truck.

But underneath that unsuspecting facade, a wondrous invention lies waiting for its big reveal. With the flick of a switch, the entire rear end folds out revealing dual pool-float pontoons and high-power outboard motors, turning it into a master of the waves.

Maximum Nautical Speed: 30mph (although folding up the floats and props, whilst breaking the illusion and the fun, can award speeds exceeding 80mph)

Controls are as follows:
- Invert Steering (Hold 'Disable Steering' key for this) = Unfold Pontoons/Propellers
- Up, Down, Left, Right (Arrow keys) = Water navigation controls
- Disable Steering for window wipers, as per usual.

And no, discord contest mods, I didn't edit the 1996 Novus to make this, it's built from scratch so that it'd qualify for competition :)

likely not, it was built in 1.0 Experimental... might remake this, but with a different base vehicle for fun in the future

This was built for the Amphibious Vehicle contest on the BR Discord, so regular versions of the 2008 Horizon Novus will have to be back-engineered from this one once the competition ends.

They're coming soon!
