Description
This fictional zeppelin was inspired from many different airships, such as the Hindenburg, Graf Zeppelin, and many other rigid airships. This is a civilian aircraft meant for transporting people and cargo over long distances. Beneath the zeppelin are two biplane fighters, mainly for self defense (or as I like to do, shoot down your own airship). Not only that but the airship is also strong against attacks, but not at all good against explody things, after all the invention of enemy flak is one of the main reasons why zeppelins are no longer in service.
Controls
Airship controls:
Throttle-Throttle
Roll-steer
VTOL-Buoyancy
AG1-Lights/nav lights
AG8-Disable airship controls
Plane controls:
AG2-Drop plane 1 (back plane) /enable controls for plane
Deactivate AG2-Enable magnet for plane 1
AG3-Drop plane 2 (front plane) /enable controls for plane
Deactivate AG3-Enable magnet for plane 2
Trim-throttle
Roll/Pitch/Yaw-steering
Directions for use
Airship The airship is quite simple to fly. To start, move the VTOL slider all the way up to add buoyancy (IMPORTANT this may take a few seconds depending on your altitude at spawn) Once you get into the air you can use throttle/roll to move.
Planes When your ready to drop a plane, its important that you disable AG8, then activate group 2 or 3 depending on the plane you want. Use the trim slider to adjust throttle and use roll/pitch/yaw to steer.
But that's just the easy part, if you want to get the plane hooked back onto the zeppelin you'll need some serious skill. As your approaching the plane hook (idk what to call it) on the bottom of the airship be ready to deactivate group 2 or 3 (depends on the plane your using). Once your plane is lined up with the magnet deactivate the group and your plane will attach to the zeppelin.
I was successful at this only once or twice so good luck.

I have no images of the cover or any of the book at all. All I have is what i recall from the two times I read it. I want a copy for myself if I can find out the name, and if it even exists
Was a historical fiction story about the US Akron airship carrier program following the journey of a pilot and the command crew of the carrier as they tried to prove their carrier was an effective weapon I recall the pilot was the MC and was initially discouraged at his placement on the carrier but eventually grew fond of the ship and the crew. I also recall the ship crashed into the pacific at the end of the story and it ended on a bit of a sad note
Do any of you anons know the nook Im talking about? I feel like it may have been called "airship pilot" but that name brings no results in any search I do. Did I just imagine this book? If i did i ought to write it down cuz it was a damn good story.
Thanks for any info you guys can give me
Ah ok@Scorpii
@ZydecoClass1234 it’s not exactly a replica of the graf zeppelin, it was inspired by it. So this is a fictional zeppelin
@Scorpii sorry! After a little more research I learned that their indeed was an LZ 127 airship called the Graf Zeppelin.
You realize the Graf Zeppelin was a german aircraft carrier, right? Lol @Scorpii
@Levihugs it is a mobile thing. the button to use guns doesn't show up if there are no active guns attached to the main structure. if a gun was attached to the main structure, you would be able to fire the ones on the planes.
thanks you helped me to build my own airship
@Levihugs it might be a mobile thing if your on mobile, works fine for me though :)
when the planes detach from the magnets the guns become unusable
I too am building a blimp, but it’s been months since I started, I have no time lol. Anyway beautiful ship
@Mikey101234 lmao is this a good thing?
I just farted and almost pissed myself
There should be working instruments on the two little planes, and the camera in the plane cockpit should be set to locking on the orientation of the cockpit of the zeppelin, to help me find it
Anyone here succeeded in come back? youtube here?
This panelling job is ungodly lmao
Absolutely amazing.
I might end up having to get around to building a zeppelin.
Very Nice
@realSavageMan it was originally just a fuselage then I paneled over it
@PapaKernels Must’ve not seen you, sorry about that. But thanks!
Hey where was my tag? Also nice zep!
Very great build and beautiful screens .
Thats pure paneling right? Impressive!
The classic Flying aircraft carrier
Amazing job! It looks great and super fun to use the mini planes
