Oh my do I like this one! (Even though I only took in the roadhog for now... Is it here I should ask about the templates mentioned in the github page mentioned in the first post?
Am in the middle of developing my own mod, so I don't want to take in too many influences from other mods here... But the templates could help me to get in some new bikes and perhaps some cars - which I will add here too, once they're ready, if it'd be possible with my current skillset...
Greetings for a job well done nontheless!!!

Thanks Hratalvi!
I made a template for the Custom Bikes (RoadHog) and the Custom Cars (CicadaCar). Link at the end of this post.
You should really start with a Bike, a Custom Car is more complicated on the rigging side.
From the code github repo, make sure to check all the properties that are set in the dust2DeathRoadHog.xml, for: roadHogChassis (chassis item spawning), roadhog entityclass, and roadHog vehicle. They are the key to make it all work.
For example, under the roadHog vehicle, the hierarchy/path of the handlebar_joint, and it's rotateMin and rotateMax bones, has been changed to make it easier to rig the handlebar.
The best is to start with a copy of the RoadHog xml for your custom bike, then just rename the entityclass, the vehicle and the chassis item, and also change the paths of the Unity prefab to yours.
There is also roadHogSounds.xml for the custom sounds of the RoadHog.
In the Unity scene, you will have a roadHog_Refs folder. This folder contains reference objects for knowing which values to put in the xml file for some of the custom XML properties I support for vehicles.
- ref_CharControllerAndUIActivationArea: This object has a CharacterController and a BoxCollider component. Those are used to see what size and center values to put in the entityclass XML properties for those Colliders. See my mods readme for more infos on the Custom Vehicles XML properties.
- roadHogRightHandIK and roadHogLeftHandIK: those and their "_root" parents are used to have a visual representation of what values to put in the vehicles' handlebars IK XML properties. The "_root" parents are just there to make it easier to position and rotate the IK objects from the stand point of the handlebar's handles. You need to temporarily make the IK objects(without their "_root" parents) child of your prefab's handlebar_joint to get the local positions and rotation values in the Inspector. Those are the values to put in those IK XML properties. Make sure to unparent them from the prefab when you are done, or at least disable those objects.

For those who want to try the helicopter, grab my latest code on github. I just fixed a couple of issues with the initialization of the Helico, and the precision of it's collision detection.
It was often not working properly the first time you use it after loading your game, and it would often go through the floor if you landed too fast.

Just one question. Can the "Beast" take damage, from any source? Just like wreck brick wall on full speed, and take some damage from it?That would be great, go ahead, unleash the beast.I wouldn't mind some help with the new helicopter too. It's awfully heavy and split in a million meshes, but when I tried to merge the meshes, the UVs got screwed up for some reason. I'm not really that savvy on the modeling and texturing side, I prefer using my time to code and to rig new systems. So I kept the super heavy model for now. It needs some love!
About the Beast, you can fully control its 'OP'ness through XML properties:
How much gas it consumes, how fast it goes, what it can destroy, what it can harvest, etc...
And I can add support for new XML properties if needed, that's the easy part.
Let me know if you want the original assets or the Unity scenes, I can package them for you.
I paid for the beast, but I really liked the asset and it is was not that expensive.
If no, can it be done via XML?

Yes it takes damage but the feature is not finished. It's currently set to give a constant amount of damage for anything you destroy. There is an XML property intended to control how much damage you take, but I couldn't finish the feature yet, so it's value is not used. If you put zero in it though, you wont take any damage anymore.
<property name="DestroySolidsDegradationPerHit" value="0" />
I hope to finish this feature in the coming weeks... My time has been deviated a bit to the new flying vehicles.

I submitted the latest code on GitHub for the Helicopter.
Changes:
- New Helico Engine to control gas consumption.
- Accurate CrossHair for weapons
- Gun now kills (was not working properly before)
- F5 to toggle between 1st and 3rd person
- Zoom in-out with scrollwheel when in 3rd person
- Sounds now pause when game is paused.
- Changed the Music trigger to Backspace
- New Textures for the Helicopter, made by Mumpfy. Looks great!
I changed the Music hotkey because I now use TormentedEmu's MinibikeOpenUI mod, that supports "M" to open the map.
Download that mod to also be able to open any of the player's UI while on a vehicle.
IMPORTANT:
Before copying the updated mod to your sdx mods directory, make sure to delete the old version of the mod. Some files have disappeared, and some renamed. You could get errors or issues if you don't do that.

Amazing work so far can't wait to see what you come up with next.
Quick question cause I haven't checked the xml yet. Can you turn off the weapons on the helicopter via xml or are you stuck having them included? Oh also do the weapons require ammo or are they unlimited?
