PMZ-27

Another old soviet truck - airfield fire engine based on ZIL 157 - in my collection of realistic vehicles. This replica is as realistic, as it could be done in stormw.

Some specs:
- Max power 110 HP
- Top speed 60 km/h
- Fuel capacity 210 L
- Water capacity 2,5 tons

Features:
- Realistic engine power curve and gear ratios
- Transmission simulation
- Accurate cockpit interior
- Fully functional controls
- Working windscreen wipers
- Rotating drive shafts
- Same as original construction in terms of drivetran elements location and functionality
- Realistacally low power, bad handling and braking, and suspension behavior
- Water cannon
- 2 hoses with nozzles
- 1 hose with water port to refill the tank from lakes or rivers

How to start and drive:
- Get in
- Turn ignition/starter key
- UP/DOWN controls current gear
- W/S controls throttle/braking
- Switch in to 1st gear
- Press and hold W to accelerate, automatic clutch will do the job
- Switch gears as engine rpm builds up
- You`re breathtaking

Hints:
- The most torque in range 1100 to 1500 rpm
- You can build up rpm on neutral (0) gear and then switch into 1st gear to make a burning start (not really). Could be useful to start driving uphill
- You can use arrows to switch gears, but for more realistic experience try to use lever.
- Driving with front axle means lower power due to torque loss in transmission
- Use transfer gearbox gear 1 to tow heavy things
- Heater works only if engine temp is more than 20 dergees
- Fire pump powered by engine, so keep revs higher to make it work. If you don`t need the truck to turn wheels while you operating pumps, set transfer box or gearbox to neutral (0).
- Hoses in the side compartments are to be detached from truck both connectors, and connected to proper water ports
- Water port on the back is to refill the tank from the natural water sources, port at the left side is for adiitional fire hose stored in left compartment

Have fun! And it would be awesome if you rate it!
