AFHV02 Caracal Ambulance

Mod/Scenario - None (Vanilla)


The second in my series of Armoured Fighting Hover Vehicles is the Caracal.
This variant of the Caracal is a military ambulance with a "1 casualty & 1 medic/corpsman" (plus driver) capacity.
Since the Caracal is relatively small, its equipment list is rather limited.

Deck Plating = Hardened Steel

Armour = Combat Steel
Core Placement = Centreline, behind 750 SU Cargo Container in cab between seats.

Pressurisation = 4 Small O² Tanks; 2 Ventilators; 2 Compartments - (front) cab & (rear) Casualty Compartment.
Personal Facilities = 1 Casualty bed.

None.
Ammunition = None.

Constructors = None.
Detector; Wireless Connection; Interior Lights controlled by a Lever (cab) or Motion Sensor (Cas Comp); manual Ramps on each side (cab) plus a MoSen controlled ramp at the rear (Cas Comp).
Outer Doors - Manual.

- 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 the "main" Hover Engines.
NB - using the Thrusters "General" shortcut will leave the hover engines off.
2. MaxLift - Turns on & off both additional Hover Engine for high-G environments.
3. Headlights - Turns on & off both Spotlight blocks.
4. Ventilator - Turns on & off both 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:
WiFis; Holo (LCD) Projector; Light & Ramp Control Levers & Motion Sensors; Passenger Seats.
2. EmergencyBeacons - Turns on & off the flashing blue emergency lights.
3. Taillights - Turns on & off ALL red flares on rear.
4. CloseDoors - Closes the outer doors and access shutters if open - so you can close any left open from in the seat.

None - there is no in-built upgrade path (although there is a spot behind the passenger seat where the T2 CPU Extender is positioned in other Caracal variants that could be replaced with the same, allowing for addition of turrets etc).

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.


- 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.
