GAZ 66 (MZ 66-04) FUEL TRUCK

This is the airfield fuel truck version of my GAZ-66 replica. Heavier and slower than base model.
It drives just as the real one (I was driving one), looks and feels like one. There are few other GAZ-66 in workshop, and they looks cool, but not even close to the real prototype.

Some specs:
- Max power 125 HP
- Top speed 90 km/h (30 in low range)
- Fuel capacity 210 L
- Weight 5,8 tons (in game just around 1300 kilos, it`s impossible to make it realistacally heavy in storm)
- Holds 930 liters of fuel (3700 units in game)

Features:
- Realistic engine power curve and gear ratios
- Transmission simulation
- Accurate cockpit interior
- Fully functional controls
- Working windscreen wipers
- Rotating drive shafts
- Same as original construction in terms of drivetran elements location and functionality
- Realistacally low power, bad handling and braking
- Tiltable cabin

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:
- Mind engine rpm. The most torque in range 2200 to 2500 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. It`s located exactly in the same place as in real truck, and it`s also as uncomfortable to use as the real one.
- Driving with front axle means lower power due to torque loss in transmission
- Use low range gearbox to tow heavy things
- Heater works only if engine temp is more than 20 dergees

This is the base model without any payload, and there are dozens of things you can place on your Shishiga, so I`ll do few versions of it. And all of them will be perfectly realistic.

You can use it as the basement for your own creation but please mention me as co-creator.

Have fun!
