OH MAN! Thanks I've been waiting for this for a LONG time.

YOUR ALL WELCOME. I found this out because i downloaded a mod with a bunch of crashed pelicans. i said to myself...the collision model is that of the pelicans so why not put them together. A week later i tried it and the collision is perfect. happy modding (you cant access driver seat from back but who cares!)

Yeah this very helpful and useful, thanks i've always wanted to fix that, definitly going to include in my next mod, now if someone could just make it so u can get in through the back door then pelicans would be perfected.

Andrew_b · Post by **Andrew_b** » Sun Mar 25, 2007 6:36 pm

to do that you would need to enlarge the trigger. even CE modders havnt been able to perfect the original pelican, they just made one that stands up by its self and has no back door. personally i like the original pelican and sometimes that wall is useful like if you have a mod with fighting pelicans people could stay in back with like snipers...but yeah taking out the wall is most likely better for most mods. but yeah the trigger would need to be enlarged. ill post on here again if i find out how.

and if you want to see some of my work in action go to the download section and view the POA mod. i made that recently
