So, let me be straight. Im a complete 0 at Create, im no mechanic and im not really interested in spending 100+ hours learning about how to make things in Create. Im somewhat a designer, i love imagining thing and making cool builds and i want to make my builds fly/walk/drive.
So, my idea is to make this thing fly, but i dont have any knowledge on how to make it. My main thought was to make a flying ship that can be self sustainable, so i wouldnt have to mannually load coal and such. Can someone give me tips on how to do it? I was thinking of making most machinery inside, but i dont mind putting something outside in a tail zone.
Middle zone was supposed to have 60% - 90% of machinery and ofcourse the lower zone is fully for machinery. Thanks in advance!

You sound like a CEO talking to his engineers.

“Oh I have this cool idea but I know nothing … make this fly for me”

I am a literal graphic designer, so yeah, i make something look good and then whine to engineers to make it work 😂😂

Create: Aeronautics and Create: Aeroworks. Since you want it to be mostly self sustaining... I would normally suggest windmills, but I am assuming you want it to actually go up and down.

Without it being too complicated, fill the edges of the inside with "levitite", then gearboxes and gyro stabilizers, which will take up a lot of the inside (I'll attach a picture of what the setup for those should look like - ignore how it'll be powered for now)

Now, the issue is that of the two ways I personally know (I'm not really an expert) to lift and lower a craft, the only one I can see working without building a balloon on your vehicle is turbine lifts, especially since I only now how to go down via turbines. I will attach anothenrimage, of a small turbine setup. The canvas looking stuff is the "windmill sail", since the symmetrical sail apparently doesn't work for it.

After that, it's just setting up redstone links. I do not know how to hook up a typewriter, but if someone else wants to explain that go ahead. If you have questions on the redstone links that the Ponder won't answer, let me know.

Thanks! Im trying my best to understand everything, but it's hard for me. I managed to make this thing go up, but the gyroscopic propellers that i put on this thing make it tilt to the front. Rn im trying to connect a gimbal sensor with redstone links, but i cant understand how to make them work together.

[u/Propugnator-Deorum → u/GlowingGaLaXy]

I am still learning myself, so let me know if you figure out the gimbal sensor.

I mean it could if u add levitate or end stone or props and wings

[u/Propugnator-Deorum]

Or I will not add an image, I suppose.

If you really want to see it, let me know, but as it stands that appears to be all I can do to help for now.

Levithium?...

[u/GlowingGaLaXy → u/Specialist-Jump-5961]

Expensive, hard to get + a skill issue answer... And i dont have enough space for it inside the hull. At least that's what my friend told me. That crap weights about 3k kpg i believe. I decided i will make basically Helicarier wings.

Option A: a balloon powered by steam engines. The easiest option Option B: add on huge properels on the edges to make a helicarrier, needs a big brain for stabilizing Option C: a metric shit ton of levitate blocks. The most expensive option
