Operation
For the driver and passengers to get into the HMMWV, simply right-click and choose "Drive" (yes, even the passengers) the driver should get in first, followed by up to three passengers. Passengers may not board the vehicle while it is running. It must be brought to a halt and the engine turned off to take on passengers. Disembarking may be done under any circumstances.
The driver then may click the vehicle body to get a menu with the following options:
Start/Stop | Starts or stops the engine. |
Lock | Toggles if other persons may use the vehicle or if only the owner may use it. |
Get Out | Causes the driver to leave the vehicle. This is the preferred way to exit. Simply standing up is likely to get you caught in the vehicle and make a spectacle of yourself. |
Exit All | Causes the driver and all passengers to leave the vehicle. |
Eject 1 | Ejects the front, passenger-side passenger. |
Eject 2 | Ejects the rear, passenger-side passenger. |
Eject 3 | Ejects the rear, driver-side passenger. |
Paint | Allows you to choose between camouflage, black or desert paint schemes. |
Switch Cam | Cycles the driver's camera through the camera presets. |
Drv Pos + | Moves the driver's seat upward to facilitate mouselook driving for taller or shorter avatars. |
| Drv Pos - | Same as above, but moves it downward. |
Lights | Toggles the operation of the headlights and taillights |
Controls
The standard WASD key cluster (or arrow keys if you prefer) will control acceleration and turning. The E and C keys (or Page Up and Page Down keys) control shifting from gear to gear. While it may seem paradoxical, W (or up arrow) is always the accelerator. Even in reverse! So, in reverse, keep in mind that pressing forward simply increases the power going to the wheels, and when in reverse, this means backwards.
The vehicle will also steer in mouselook, steering left or right proportionally to your view's deflection from straight ahead.
OCS and Collision Damage
The HMMWV can be damaged and destroyed by the effects of weapons using the Omega Combat System and by collisions with other objects. It will take less damage from a collision against the bumpers at the front and rear, and more if the impact is against the sides or roof.
If your M1116 happens to burst into flame, that's a strong indication to exit the vehicle and take cover, as burning vehicles are apt to become exploding vehicles 10-30 seconds later.
The End
The HMMWV is designed for fast and fun transportation in and out of combat zones. It's also tangible evidence of your excellent taste for buying a quality Omega Concern product. As with all of our products, The Omega Concern promises to support your HMMWV for the lifetime of the product, with free upgrades for all of version 1.x, lifetime bug fixes, and ever new and exciting ways to blow it up.
