📋 About This Mod

Brings the classic Mad Dog - Vulture to the Inner Sphere as a highly detailed model. The model and cockpit are both modeled and textured by the talented Alan Yeoh. Link to Alan Yeoh's work here and if you want to give him a tip and encourage more of his amazing work, here's his Paypal to donate to: yeohkheren@gmail.com. Thanks a million tons to Templar Vandalos for the guidance and tutorship with rigging and animating. Thanks to Silby, Ayakos, MagnumGB, and the whole CAB crew for helping with everything else, I couldn't have done it without their expertise, and thanks to cszolee79 for helping out with the YAML stuff! And of course a billion thanks to Alan Yeoh for making such an amazing 3D model.

You can easily add the mech to your savegame by getting the mod Mech Delivery
