@ledownloader123 it has been deleted years ago.
Link to helium mod please?
Now thats a blimp
Why did you make my Ex Girlfriend?
@jfriss I'm glad to hear that
i love this thing man!
@A3 lol
Thanks man and who the frick is Jessica and I'm a boy any ways
Is that Jessica from school?
@Bundoman number one advice I can give you is to experiment with fuselage blocks. That's the cylindrical block that you can reshape. Furthermore, try looking at pictures of real planes/ships/vehicles and try to build something similar to that. That's the best way to get started and gain some skill. Download other peoples builds, take them apart, and see how they are made. You will develop your own characteristic technique along the way.
I can t use it EnternalDarkness but I love the idea and I am trying to make small builds to but I need advice. I have also alredy put a creation up if you want to see it but it's not as good as yours.
@GermanAircrafts I'm glad you like it m8
@ACMECo1940 thanks. Sorry for it not being iOS friendly
Yeah but it's a really good design@EternalDarkness
Gotcha. @EternalDarkness
@ACMECo1940 iOS friendly? It would lose its point. It's meant to showcase the mod. The mod is what lets it fly. If I was to remove the helium block, it wouldn't fly at all.
Make mobile friendly version@EternalDarkness
@Stingray iOS doesn't support external mods, and this is purpose-built to demonstrate a mod, so it's no wonder it doesn't work on ios device. On the other hand, if you have a helium mod installed, osx shouldn't have any problems running it.
Looks great! Not OSX or iOS friendly, fyi....
What the heck is this???
@cobalT oh. Sorry to hear that. Save it for later (add to favorites). I literally had hours of fun with this thing, which is usually not the case with my more complex builds. It handles quite different from planes.
@LatteCoffee55 no problem m8
@EternalDarkness okay thanks
@LatteCoffee55 those are easy to solve. You can take the prop from one of my ships (look for smaller ones), and super buoyant block (0.25x0.25x0.5 cylinder) can be found on almost all of my boats at the waterline, nudged inside the hull. Install a number of those on your ship in a similar manner.
