LCAC-27 version 1.0 for Spintires: MudRunner (v18.10.18)

The Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) is a high-speed landing craft used for deploying troops from large amphibious dock ships. It can carry about 68 tons of payload (up to 75 tons when overloaded). The craft is used to transport weapon systems, equipment, cargo, and personnel from ship to shore or along the coastline. The main advantage of air-cushion landing craft is that LCACs can move across swamps and other coastal obstacles at high speed while carrying heavy loads, such as the M-1 Abrams tank, and can be equipped to transport up to 180 personnel.

The mod was made for a map that there was no time to finish. It might be useful to someone. The craft has animations for the propellers, loading ramp, rotating blades, as well as its own sounds. The archive includes a media.xml file that changes the water resistance in the game. It can be used without it, but the craft will move more quietly and the payload capacity will be reduced. The archive also contains a test map for refining or adjusting the craft’s settings. The mod is intended as material for map makers—it should not be simply added to the standard game maps!
