"The Leveller" - Multipurpose Quadcopter Hybrid (Vanilla, 2015!)

Description
UPDATE, 2022: A very old build vanilla from 2015, dating from when Besiege was still in it's alpha. This machine somehow still works after all this time, but it has to be tweaked before it can be used, and I cannot update the workshop file after re-installing the game on a new PC for some reason.

You have to fix the following:

* One of the four steering blocks on the right most rotor is "automatic" and will now always turn, when it shouldn't. Find it and uncheck "automatic", else this machine cannot fly. Remember to extend the rotors first with { NUM 0 }. See controls.

* To move the machine on the ground, check the key bindings for all 8 large wheels - Some of them have unbound controls for some reason. This machine uses tank steering. Original key binds were set to:

Left 4 wheels: { Y } forward, { H } backwards.
Right 4 wheels: { P } forwards, { ; } (semi colon) backwards.

You can set these, or any controls to whatever is comfortable for you. See description and images for controls.

--- Original Description ---

Multipurpose, versatile, all-in-one vanilla vehicle designed to beat most of Beseige's campaign levels without needing to modify it between levels. The "Leveller" (I'm terrible with names) is a hybrid of a helicopter/drone and a ground vehicle (bulldozer/demolisher type thing).

It can beat Ipsilon and Tolbrynd levels, which were the only ones released during December 2015. I think I made it beat a few of the Valfross levels too, you can use the steam canons by pressing { M }.

In flight, it's both a bomber (drops remote grenades) and a sky crane - Stable and strong enough to lift even the very heavy boulders in the sandbox. As a ground vehicle, it has drills, it's robust, it levels (destructible) buildings, props and NPCs. It uses tank steering..

See the second screenshot for controls - While using the arrow keys to keep airborne and change altitude, use your little finger on the keypad keys.

You can let go of the flight keys while running along the ground - it may be easier to use your left hand for { Y } + { H } (Left wheels control), and your right for { P } + { ; } (right wheels).

As I've bound many num pad keys, you'll probably have to re-map the controls to something else if you use a laptop.
