I didn't edit the model at all aside from renaming everything lol, it looks like this in the original too

 

Obviously, you will be able to chop off every part that can move independently (forgot to mention I'll try to make realistic movement restrictions so it won't flex in a way a human wouldn't), so head, thorax, pelvis, hands, feet, and lower and upper parts of arms and legs, that's the plan. But there will be an option to make them unbreakable. The strength of the connections between these parts will be adjustable too. Obviously if I end up adding Stig this won't be an option for him lol. Oh also I'm trying to get the weight distribution more accurate than other mods.

 

The old stationary dummy mod had terribly assigned refnodes and no exterior camera, that was the main reason why it was a pain to position wituout using World Editor. This one already has a camera and properly working refnodes, though the bottom ones aren't connected to anything yet, it needs legs so I can connect them to one of them. If I can I will try to get it to not fall over on uneven surfaces, maybe using an improvised gyro that would be a relatively heavy node under the ground to keep it straight? Idk we'll see.

 

That would require some LUA knowledge I don't have to detect when it's falling over, and would be a pain to adjust the force so it's big enough but not too big. Also when it falls over the thrusters would still be active and could cause weird stuff to happen. Hydros are more like muscles and probably wouldn't have side effects, but still I would need a "fall detection system" in LUA.

 

Did you watch the video? It's not only deformable but breakable into many pieces too

 

6000+ horsepower in a Pigeon... Technically using only in-game parts, just swapped from other vehicles lol. The engine swap update of my first mod should be out soon!
