The Red Baron's Airship

In another universe, the Red Baron survived the war and became the Captain of a German airship carrier. Use this tool of war to strike terror into the hearts of the enemy.

Note: Don't start in Yeager airport. This ship is too big.

Instructions Airship: Throttle up and use VTOL to adjust pitch of props. When you are level in the air, use 8 to lock the pitch/roll/yaw of the airship, and then use trim to adjust pitch if necessary. Once airborne, say 1,000 feet, you can launch aircraft.

Instructions Aircraft: Action group 1 & 2 for two front bi-planes, Action group 3 for Gotha Bomber (TIP pitch airship down to take off successfully). Action Group 4 & 5 for rear bi-planes. Bombs on the Gotha Bomber are on action group 7. Airplane guns and engine engages with the action group so you don't shoot your ship in the air.

IMPORTANT: Gotha Bomber can get stuck if you are pitched "up" when you try to launch with AG 3. I suggest pitching down, then correct your Airship pitch with the trim. Don't forget to lock the airship controls with 8 to keep it from flying around when you are playing with the aircraft. On the flip side, landing the bomber is easy on the wacky physics landing pad since it tends to just "stick".

Also... It will blow up on start up on the airport with the double runway and hangers since the airship is partially sticking into the hanger (too darn big). Try a different airport if this happens to you.

This is a big creation, so I'm sorry mobile users. Please try out my smaller version.

    It would be hard because of the size. I have a smaller mobile version in my inventory. @TimeTraveler

    This is awesome! Do you think you could make it mobile-friendly? And make the planes able to be subassemblies?
