Auto Credit Based on Cleptrophese's Car (v4)

She can now be controlled in flight! And with that, I am happy enough with her to upload her under the proper name, rather than simply "Car."

All future updates will likely be aesthetic, for the spare tyre, the horn, the throttle and brake levers, and the leaf spring suspension, among other cosmetic things I'm sure I've missed or gotten wrong.

Anyway, updates!

First off, she can now be controlled, with major difficulty, while flying. For some reason the idea of simply adding a gyro hadn't crossed my head, so that was my ultimate solution, and it seems to actually work. Mind you, the rear propeller generates major torque, so flying with that out is a bit extreme. However, that propeller still doesn't seem to generate any forward thrust.

There are a couple cosmetic changes, as well.

The belt around the engine cowling has been rotated to the proper orientation, sized accordingly, and retextured to bring it's look and feel closer to that of leather.

The gold pieces on the exhaust have been desaturated and changed slightly so as to appear less vibrant and contrasting to the rest of the vehicle.

The gold radiator cover at the front has been resized in both directions to bring the vehicle closer to the appearance of the car in the movie.

And finally, the steam escape(?) on the radiator has been moved to be properly positioned atop the covering.

Anyway, on to groupings and sliders:

AG1: Aft Headlights
AG2: Forward Headlights
AG3: Fold/Unfold Wings and Flight Equipment
AG4: Raise VTOL Propellers
AG5: Unfold/Activate VTOL Propellers
AG6: Unfold/Activate Pusher Propeller
AG7: De/Activate Wheel Motors and Turning
AG8: Flight Gyro (NECESSARY FOR CONTROL)
AG9: UNUSED
AG10: UNUSED

Sliders:

Slider 1: Rotate Windscreen
Slider 2: Rotate Window
Slider 3: Flight Equipment (Automated)
Slider 4: UNUSED

Anyway, the car is now at a point where I'm actually quite happy with her! Aesthetically, there are still some changes I intend to make, but this will probably be the final update for a little while.

Have fun! Hope you enjoy the build!

    @Coldlaser2005 Excellent!! I'm glad someone tested that, I have (obviously) thrown it into space, but it didn't have the fuel to return.
