CFS Macro - Bedford QLD, 3-ton, 4x4.
CFS Version of a WWII ground vehicle.
This API macro shows the Britain's most popular 3-ton military truck, the Bedford QL 3-ton 4x4, shown here as the QLD General Service truck.
Between 1941 and 1945, no less than 52,245 vehicles were built by Vauxhall in Luton, Bedfordshire (which is a subsidiary of American firm General Motors).
Though all-wheel-driven and hence with the natural ability to tow guns, the QL, due to his weak 72 bhp engine, lacked sufficient power when under load.

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.
