Description

A mining Semi-truck with detachable trailer.

At start, hit spacebar to be sure that the control point is from the cabin.

You can optionally activate the motors from the trailer’s wheels, gaining speed at the expense of battery power and control. There’s also a pair of rocket engines if you have enough fuel.

Always activate the brakes before disconnecting the trailer (backspace).

Even with the trailer disconnected, you can activate the drills and refinery, as it has it’s own control.

To reconect the trailer, carefully position the truck aligning the docking ports. When close enough, you will notice that they atract each other and have the tendency to become aligned automatically.

With the ports aligned, change control to the trailer and hit backspace. The trailer will reconnect smoothly.

After reconnecting it is advised to hit spacebar again to control from the cabin, and also manually set the camera aim to the cabin.
