BAV-485 / ZIS-485 "BIG AMPHIBIOUS VEHICLE"

Soviet amphibious truck, based on ZIL-157 truck platform.
This replica is as realistic, as it could be done in stormw.

Some specs:
- Max power 109 HP
- Top speed 62 km/h on ground, 15 km/h on water (unrealistically fast - origin was only capable of doing 10,8 km/h, but for the game it`s way too slow)
- Fuel capacity 200 L

Features:
- Realistic engine power curve and gear ratios
- Transmission simulation
- Accurate cockpit interior
- Fully functional controls
- 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
- Floats as the original one
- Buggy fuel meter

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
- Winch powered by engine, so keep revs higher to make it work. If you don`t need the truck to turn wheels while you operating winch, set transfer box to neutral (0).
- On water disable wheels using transfer box setting 0 to prevent pointless wheel rotation.

Have fun!
