There was a Youtube video somewhere that showed how to setup Visual Express for Orbiter 2010. There is also some info on the Orbiter SDK.
I guess it's the same for 2016.
Anyway, you should check that and try to recompile the sample vessel included on the SDK.
This will get you started.

Is it this vessel or another to want to edit?

I looked at how the MV crawler works. One issue is it has the vessel always landed on Earth. I can make it alway landed on the Moon. But I am sure someone will want to put this on MArs,....

So I am going to stick with use thrust versus moving by lat/long

Try this dll. You will need to change the cfg to show.
Code:
; === Configuration file for vessel class Adapter ===
ClassName = MMSEVROVER2
Module = MMSEVROVER2

; === Docking ports ===
BEGIN_DOCKLIST
1.829 0 0   1 0 0   0 1 0    588
-1.829 0 0   -1 0 0   0 1 0    578
END_DOCKLIST

Rather than thrust moving the vessel it changes the lat and Long. So to move use the arrow keys. Only 1 key at time. So if you are moving forward to turn you may need to press it twice.

keys 1,2,3,4 change the vessel speed.

Only for the Moon

Not sure which way I like better?

It was suggested that maybe by making a separate vessel for the wheels that as the wheel vessel moved the vessel would go up or down depending on the terrain.

Then I guess have an attachment that moves as the spring to raise/lower based on this.

Is this possible?

Among other thing I have been trying to fix some ground vessel movement in 2016.

I know in 2010 the world was flat so driving was easier. But in 2016 the world is not flat. The ere are hills,.. to climb.

But how. My Ler uses traditional thrust but it has issues. the vessel may not go straight. That may be to the ground not level?

I haven't gotten the MS2015 crawler code to work on the Moon.

But are a couple of video to use the issues.:
