CFS Macro Toyota-GB CFS Version of a WWII ground vehicle. The Toyota-GB, was a development of the the G1 truck, the first truck produced by Toyota before World War II. Kiichiro Toyodas desire was to produce automobiles. Unfortunately, the A1 passenger car that was under development in 1935 was unlikely to sell well due to Japans low economy. Work still progressed on the A1 but emphasis was shifted to a truck derived from the same engine and chassis (slightly lengthened). The financial resources of the parent company, Toyoda Automatic Loom Works, were stretched almost to breaking point and large loans were required to put the G1 into production. The total cost of the G1 development was well several times the annual profits of Toyoda. The G1 was sold as a Toyoda. The company changed its name

A power take-off was taken from after the gearbox. It rose behind the cabin and then projected forward. This was mated to the spinner on an aircrafts propeller to start the aircraft engine. Because it wasnt used for heavy cargo, the cargo bed was narrow and the rear wheels were singles. Production was 19870 units between 1938 and 1942. I have made four version of this truck, with colors of the Imperial Japanese Navy.

I have created this api macro with Easy Object Designer (EOD), Version 2. 2. 85 (Matthias Br ckner), to generate the static Toyota GB, with use of BMP transparent textures, oriented to CFS scenery designers and that they work with Airport 2. 0 or later. This macro was tested only in CFS1 sceneries, but I believe that can work without problems in CFS2-3 and FS2000-2002. All mine API macros, could be included on objects libraries with crash detection (for CFS missions), but must be distributed with the original API-MACRO copyright.
