A rollable pipe that's used in the Chan's Scrapyard level. It can be modded into the menu, and the name appears correctly, but spawning it in will freeze the player.

Boats#

An unused farming boat that appears in the last cutscene of The Chase Begins.
LCU_CASTAWAY.jpg

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically: Verify that it's unused, I heard rumors that it does appear in the game but I haven't confirmed it.

A paddleboat. It can't be spawned from the menu but it's fully playable if it's added to the boat traffic.
LCU_RUB.png

The Hauler is only used in the cutscene after the space center level, where Chan's men take the moon buggy inside it, but it's fully playable and even has a logo.
LCU_HAULER.jpg
LCU_NAVAL_HAULER_DX11.png

NAVAL_HAULER2
The sequel to Hauler is in the same folder as the original, and is used as the model for the ferry.

It's used in the cutscene where Chase chases after a disguised Natalia. It can be spawned but it's buggy and incomplete, as it can only turn in place.
LCU_GARBAGESCOW.jpg

An unused canoe.
LCU_NAVAL_TRAGHETTI_RENDER.png

POLICE_DRIFTER#

The Drifter is a used boat that occasionally spawns behind the police station, but it's the only boat with an unused icon. If modded into the spawn menu it appears correctly with the name and icon.
LCU_POLICE_DRIFTER_DX11.png

POLICE_MINNOW#

Another police boat, this time being completely unused.
LCU_MINNOW.png
LCU_POLICE_MINNOW_DX11.png

Aircraft#

AIRCRAFT_ELIFANT#

The Elifant is an airplane. It appears in final game in the airport, but merely as decoration. When modded into the game it can be colored and it has fan spinning animations, but it's difficult to drive, and does not seem to be able to fly.
