Power to 100% and VTOL slider directs side engines. Use the side engines angle to assist in gaining altitude. Directional controls are normal and responsive, pitching too much or too hard will lose altitude. Can land and take off from sea and can also be landed quite easily on land too. Top speed is about 100mph.

    You should mod a block to float in air.

    @Authros I've yet to find out how to mod on PC. I went on a little Google journey last night and came up with nothing. Everything in r/SPmod that is tutorial wise is for android.

    Angled parts are quite difficult. The hardest part is finding the line in the code that represents the part, although I have a tip for that. All blocks have a position and rotation value X, Y and Z so you just need to change them. The only parts I modded on this though were the nose cones, everything else is done in the editor.

    I had to rip the sides off to see that amazing ingenuity, so amazing. I love flying this thing around man. Super enjoyable. I have no idea how to mod, any chance you know how to make angled structural wings like your custom nose piece?

    @ElijtheGeat No, not part if the update. The nose cone size us limited within the editor. I simply changed the size of each cone by editing the xml file for the plane.

    Thank you @WeeBabySeamus that is a great comment, it's really appreciated. I was quite proud of the setup once I figured it out. It help that there was space inside to see the setup clearly. Did you like the balast for the engines?

    This thing is unreal man, you are taking modding to a whole new level of awesomeness. The way it flies is fantastic. Simple and amazing man, hands down the best blimp in the game.

    @Mkenz Improved saving update. No new blocks. Unfortunately the way the planes are saved in the beta version is not backwards compatible with the older versions. Just wait a couple of weeks and check my planes again after you've had the update. The blocks used on this are nose cones made much bigger than normal.
