VS: Gearworks
A Trackwork extension, adding landing gears for small scale planes
About this Mod
Gearwork
Gearwork is a Trackwork addon focused on one practical goal: better landing gear for vehicles.
Many players wanted smaller wheels and a simple, readable deploy/retract motion.
Gearwork adds exactly that, with a lightweight design that fits naturally into Create + Trackwork style builds.
What It Adds
- Compact landing gear parts for tighter vehicle designs
- Simple landing gear deployment/retraction animation
- A clean base for future vehicle mobility features
Why Gearwork
Vanilla-sized wheel setups can feel too large for many aircraft and compact creations.
Gearwork gives builders a cleaner silhouette and easier animation behavior for everyday use.
