Probe Truck Tornado Chaser

Hello everyone, do you want chase tornadoes? of course you want, soo i gave to you this capable truck with a weather radar, a deployable probe and much more :)

• A small probe capable of colleting data from: wind speed/Humidty/Temperature/Rain factor/Air pressure/ Max winds speeds collected/ EF category (based on winds) and the tornado strenght based in the force apllied to the probe when the tornado its above them.
  
  
• A capable truck with 3 seats, a small metereologic station with Velocity/reflectivty radar.
  Max speed: 85 KM/H.
  
• Gears: 1:1 , 1:-1 / i dont know how to to gears...
  
• Fuel capacity: 700 Liters.
  
• Two rear view mirror.
  
• drivetrain: 4x2

• Soo, the current game does not have a Doppler radar, that whats reads the weather in short terms, for that reason the weather radar included in the truck is not 100% realistic and also not 100% accurate, but is enjoyable.
  
• I'm very bad at LUA programming language, so the radar seems very empty, not as full of colors and information as it should be, but it is accurate and easy to understand for those who don't know meteorological radars.

This bad boi have two radar modes, the Reflectivty and the Velocity, But for anyone who has never looked at a weather radar, these names won't come to mind at all, let me explain more about those.
- I will explain how the radar on my truck works, not how the real life one ok? -

• Reflectivity: The reflectivity radar is calculated by the rain factor present in the map position in which you are located, in addition, if the wind speeds are very high, the truck's computer can understand it as a tornado represented by a purple triangle that dances on the screen of the radar.
  
• Velocity:The speed radar uses the wind speed to write its beauty on the screen, The science behind it is actually quite simple, The green circle indicates wind going in the direction of the radar (truck) and the red circle indicates the wind going away in the direction of the radar (truck) radar perspective (truck), the stronger the wind, the less transparency the circles.

The communication between the truck and the probe is done via radio waves, you need to configure a frequency between the antennas of the truck and the probe, and try not to go too far, as you may lose communication with the probe, and also valuable data, the probe and truck are naturally set to frequency 0, this also applies to voicechat speakers and video receiving antennas.

-- A few months ago I made a vehicle based on the Crown Victoria 2001 police version, guided by an AI that chased you, or followed you around the map with sirens on or not, I intend to create a better, more improved and smarter version, despite me using complicated and fancy words like "IA" is just a facade for "Radar", which, because it is very limited, requires a lot of work.
--A police helicopter also guided by AI "radar" that can follow you, in a way this is more difficult to do because, unlike the car that if it crashes, it is possible to just create a function for reverse, I would have to create very complicated sensors to prevent the helicopter from hitting... everything, that includes you and your poor car trying to escape from an air superiority that just won't shoot at you because my laziness won't allow me to create such an advanced thing.

-- thats it, thanks for reading, and if you like it, please give a like and a comment, im kinda new in the stormworks community and i want to grow with my crazy inventions, have a good day, afternoon and evening :)
