D77-TC Pelican Dropship [HALO 2]

[Reference: HALO 2]

The D77 Troop Carrier, abbreviated D77-TC, is a highly versatile space to ground VTOL combat drop-ship used by the UNSC. It is mainly utilised for medium-lift operations such as ferrying troops, vehicles, and supplies- but can also act as a support gunship with its powerful 70mm auto cannon and other weapon attachments.

I created this model to replicate that of the HALO 2 classic model, and as such it includes different features to best capture this design. It is a 1:1 replica and includes fully functional VTOL units that move according to direction of travel, fully functioning forward and rear landing gear, a tandem cockpit with sliding door, strong armament and an open bay design to replicate the CE/ HALO 2 aesthetic. The build is also survival ready, meaning that if you would like to make it 100% vanilla, all engine units are connected via conveyors!

• Ensure that the landing gear clamp, (found under number [7] of the pilot control bar) is enabled when the landing gear is extended, otherwise the rear landing struts wont be able to support the weight of the pelican especially if dampeners/ power is turned off. Once the landing gear is retracted, utilise the clamp again to stop the struts shuddering during travel.
  
• You must enable super-grids in the advanced settings to use this model.
  
• Ensure thruster damage is turned off before flying this vehicle.
  
• Ensure scripts are enabled in advanced settings.
  
• Whilst using the auto cannon, turn off gyroscopes to improve control/ functionality.
