CONTROLS
Arrow keys to drive

ON THE MENU:
ROAD 〰 -Sets to a driving mode optimised for road driving when not towing a trailer, with 8 wide ratio gears. This is the default on rez.
OFF ROAD 〽 -Sets to a driving mode optimised for offroad driving when not towing a trailer, with 12 close ratio gears in forwards and reverse (see note below).
FLIGHT ✈ -Enters flight mode. (disabled when towing trailers)
RECOVER ↺ -This rights the vehicle should you turn it over. (disabled when towing trailers)
CAM RESET◉ -A camera reset, for when passengers unsit and your camera borks.
ON TOW (!) -Sets the vehicle as physical, for use with transporters (see note below).
Eject Menu⇪ -Opens the eject menu.
Log ◘ -Opens the Journey Logger menu (see below)
Internet -Opens the internet menu (see below)
TRAILER -Opens the trailer menu (see below)
Also engine sound on/off buttons.

TRAILER MENU
Rez Loader - sets the tractor unit to zero rotations then rezzes and connects to the Low Loader transporter trailer.
Rez Tanker - sets the tractor unit to zero rotations then rezzes and connects to the Diesel Tanker.
Rez Dolly - sets the tractor unit to zero rotations then rezzes and connects to the Dolly for transporting the MAZ 543.
Hitch - for connecting to a trailer manually.
Unhitch - for disconnecting to a trailer manually.
-
TRAILER DETAILS
Low loader menu options:
Ramp Up - raises the ramp.
Ramp Down - lowers the ramp.
SIZE - opens the size menu (consult the chart for configurations).
PARK - sets the trailer to non-physical for when parked (it is like this as default when rezzed).
TOW - sets the trailer to physical ready for towing when empty.
Loaded - sets the trailer physical and adjusts the parameters for easier towing when loaded with a heavy physical vehicle.
To use:
Select "Ramp Down" on the trailer menu, consult the chart and adjust the size if required, drive a Greenlaners vehicle inside, touch the vehicle to be transported and choose "On Tow" from the menu, select "Ramp up" on the trailer menu, right click the tractor unit and select "Drive", touch the trailer and choose either "Tow" or "Loaded" from the menu and it is ready to drive.
-
Dolly menu options:
Raise ↑ - raises the centre jack and rear chassis.
Lower ↓ - lowers the centre jack and rear chassis.
PARK - sets the trailer to non-physical for when parked (it is like this as default when rezzed).
TOW - sets the trailer to physical ready for towing when empty.
Loaded - sets the trailer physical and adjusts the parameters for easier towing when loaded with a heavy physical vehicle.
To use:
Select "Lower ↓" to lower the jack and rear chassis, drive a MAZ 543 or similar sized vehicle into the load area so that the front 2 wheels are across the T bar, touch the MAZ and select "On Tow", touch the trailer and select "Raise ↑", right click the tractor unit and select "Drive", touch the trailer and select "Loaded" and it is ready to drive. Note that in sims with heavy physics use, the lifting mechanism might not be smooth and you may need to grab or bump the MAZ a little when lifting. This is entirely dependant on sim physics use, sim server type (it constantly changes) and grid stability, as are all physical vehicles and objects.

Tanker menu options:
PARK - sets the trailer to non-physical for when parked (it is like this as default when rezzed).
TOW - sets the trailer to physical ready for towing when empty.
TRAILER NOTES:
All Greenlaners trailers are entirely physical objects and are actually pulled rather than using a follower script. This means that while the weight and bumpiness of their motion gives great realism and low lag, it also means that they can only be used within a sim and will not stay intact should you choose to cross a sim border.
Also note that the strength and stability of the connection is directly influenced by the physics performance in the sim. Under normal full power sim conditions the connection is extremely strong, but if it is right clicked by an observer the connection will fail, or also if there is a massive physics use within the sim or the sim is a Homestead sim running close to its limits. This is much the same as how highly scripted items suffer in heavily scripted sims and is part of life in SL.
Also, when connected to a trailer the vehicle is in a high power mode. Should the connection fail, use the menu to return to either ROAD or OFFROAD mode, or select "Unhitch" from the trailer menu for the same results. Driving in "Hitched" mode without a trailer is not to be recommended, unless you want to try for a decent time at a drag racing strip and blow peoples minds lol.

JOURNEY LOGGER
The Journey Logger will log your journey in 3 ways.
When "ON" is selected, it will log each sim you travel through (giving you a message in chat to confirm, like this: [14:22] Journey Logger: ✔).
Manual will log more detailed information about your location and only each time you select it. It logs the time, sim, position and parcel name.
You can also collect slurls using the relevant button.
There are options in the memory to view the Manual readings, slurls, totals or list all. When "list" is selected, it will automatically stop logging, though it won't reset the list unless you select "reset".
The script will reset itself on rez and is always off when you rez it. You may sometimes notice a slight drop in vehicle script performance when it is on due to it's nature, but in the off mode it will have no noticable effect in any aspect of the vehicles performance.

INTERNET MENU
Greenlaners - Takes you to the main Greenlaners web-site.
Instructions - Takes you to a web version of this document.
on slapt.me - Takes you to the Greenlaners listings on slapt.me (merchant site).
slurl map - Takes you to the slurl map web-site, showing your current location (* VERY USEFUL! *).
SL Wiki - Takes you to the main SL Wiki page.
After choosing an option, another blue window opens where you choose "Go to page". The web page will then open in your default browser.

Notes:
This vehicle can be driven in mouselook, you will find a mouselook button at the bottom of the screen.
The reverse gears change at the same time as the forward gears (reverse gears in OFFROAD mode only), so for example, when you are driving forwards in 5th, your reverse speed will be the same. The reason for this is to aid in reversing out of a nose-down-hole situation.
Although you can enter the "On Tow" mode while driving, to resume driving after you must un-sit and re-select "drive" from the pie menu. This means that if you want to remain seated while being transported by a friend, you can do this. Please also be aware that Homestead sims have depreciated physics properties, so carrying vehicles may not work as well as normal sims.
