Making the Train Pilotable

Hey, ok, pretty easy i think..not sure quite how to do it though.

You all know the train ship that flys around..is it possible to make that pilotable, hold as much as it does in game, able to use purchased weapons, shields, thrusters, and such.

Also, does anyone know the name of the Milennium Falcon looking thing that is taking off when you land on New Tokyo, that would be cool to pilot too.

.....Train? You mean the Heavy Transport?

There are two different types of common Heavies; the Heavy Transport and the Train. You see the train more commonly in Rhineland and Kusari.

there are things called trains in the game i think..

There the same as Heavy Trans I think.

You want it? I'll do it in about a day or two. I can make it have i think its 60000 cargo, right? And be able to buy shields, guns(probbaly turrets), and whatver it needs, but it WILL not have any CRUISE, because it is a heavy .. and it won't have the best shielding, its made for Heavy loads, so be warned, it will be realistic.

It just won't moor like they do, you will have to dock

Sweet thanks man, i want to do realistic cargo runs. And that's the only way to really do it.

60,000 cargo? Isn't it 600,000 cargo? I thought I recalled 5 zeros, not 4. (they have it at X99,999 anyway)

I made the train pilotable just fine, except that I couldn't figure out a way to make the cargo containers appear. Clues?

addon = cargopod_grey, hpcargo01, 1
addon = cargopod_grey, hpcargo02, 1
addon = cargopod_grey, hpcargo03, 1
addon = cargopod_grey, hpcargo04, 1
addon = cargopod_grey, hpcargo05, 1
addon = cargopod_grey, hpcargo06, 1

Of course, if you're modding the Train, you'll only have 4 cargo pods instead of 6 with the Large Train. (otherwise, the two ships are identical.) The valid colours for the pods are red, blue, yellow, green, grey, white, drab. I can't see any way to make the pods change depending on what you're carrying, though. Also, the pods don't appear when you're on a base, for some reason.

Now I've answered that, perhaps someone can help me out, as I'm also trying to make the Large Train pilotable. However, the up/down steering is reversed. I can remember seeing this mentioned somewhere, but haven't seen what the solution is. The "tutorials" are no use, as they're all just "change this and this and this" wihtout telling you what the changes actually do. And yes, I HAVE tried searching the forums (without any success.)

edit: BTW, there are five kinds of transport - Armoured Transport (the one the FP7 survivors were brought to Manhattan on), Transport (Quite small, holds 2 cargo pods), Large Transport (Stretched version of the Transport, holds 4 pods), Train (Great big thing, still only carries 4 pods), Large Train (like the Train with an extra pair of pods hooked up onto the back).

edit: That's weird - I changed the camera viewpoint and it seems to handle fine now. Not quite sure why.

Whoops. Okay, the handling is still messed up, it just seemed to randomly start working for a few minutes. Any help?
