Please also ensure UMMUs are installed as well.- Introduction
Instead of starting scenarios (and videos) from the runway or launch pad, I decided it would be a nice touch to start off the scene with a convoy of vehicles sending astronauts and their luggage to the ship.
Once I started creating my own crew names for XR5 flights (max 18 crew/passengers), I needed a way to transport them all in comfort. Hence, a bus.
However the standard bus texture supplied with the "4 more cars for UCGO" had lingerie advertisements on it and I thought to think up something more appropriate.
Until the advent of a Victoria's Secrets XR5 repaint, that is.- Issues
I've taken the liberty of enclosing the paint template because such small vehicles are a joy to texture. Just be sure to flip the roof texture over so it displays correctly on the 3D model.
Sense of humor check:
Real life buses do not have roof advertisements - but does this look like a "Realistic Commercial Bus Livery Based On Your Favourite Local Bus Company"? Kindly make your own using the attached template
