Title: New way to Axle Load
Post by: Sage on October 20, 2009, 10:20:18 PM: I don't know about you guys, but I HATE axle loading. Just takes way too long. So I came up with another way. Takes a little practice, but it's 10x faster. Here's a video- /raw.gametechmods.com/vids/Tuts/New Axle Loading Glitch.wmv (http://raw.gametechmods.com/vids/Tuts/New Axle Loading Glitch.wmv)

It uses counter-weights, and is the primary way I axle-load in DSL.

Post by: Sage on October 20, 2009, 10:53:07 PM: Oh I see. So you can attach items directly to the axle that way? Because this way you attach them to the motors and the axle is far away, then you switch them.

Post by: Urjak on October 20, 2009, 10:55:30 PM: Pretty much, yeah. I was a bit confused when I saw your video actually. I always thought axle-loading kept the attachment point on the axle. Clearly I was mistaken.

Using the counter-weiht technique, the attachment point stays on the axle.

And i think snapper loading is much harder... excepted in DSL, with a copal on a skirt hinge.

I thought you knew about this. :P
