Create: Aeroworks

An addon for Create: Aeronautics that adds a suite of various blocks for your airships.

Available blocks:

• Gyroscope
• Joystick

Planned blocks:

• Advanced Gyroscope (allows arbitrary target orientation)
• Mini Gyroscope
• Joystick + Keyboard Input
• Handheld Joystick
• Modular Controller

Keep Your Ship Level

The Gyroscope is a spinning flywheel that stabilizes your ship upwards. Mount one anywhere on your contraption and supply it with rotational energy. The gyroscope stabilization scales with input RPM. Multiple gyroscopes can be used to stabilize larger ships!

A tooltip is provided to provide insight to the gyroscopic stabilization. !Gyroscope with tooltip

Explanation of Gyroscope status:

• Off -> Self explanatory. The gyroscope is off.
• Unstable -> The gyroscope is unable to stabilize your ship with the input RPM or number of gyroscope
• Steady -> Your ship can be stabilized with the current gyroscope(s) configuration. However, more power or gyroscopes is necessary to make your ship perfectly level.
• Level -> Your ship is level (< 2°) with respect to the world with the current gyroscope(s) configuration.

Configurable axis "stiffness":

Applying an analog redstone signal to the side of a gyroscope reduces the corrective forces applied by the gyroscope along that axis. The axis is fully unlocked at max redstone strength: !Gyroscope analog signal

The tooltip is updated to reflect the current corrective force as "stiffness": !Gyroscope stiffness tooltip

This allows you to roll and pitch your ship but then bring the ship back to level when you're done maneuvering.

Joystick

The Joystick allows you to control your ship along 2 axes. A redstone signal (0-15) is output per direction the stick is tilted towards. For simplicity, the joystick outputs the redstone signal on configurable redstone link frequencies. An extra button is provided for extra controllability.

!Joystick

A redstone input can be provided to lock the orientation of the joystick: !Joystick Locked

An on-screen HUD displays the current Joystick output when being controlled: !Joystick HUD

A configurable UI is provided for configuring the redstone link frequencies: !Joystick UI

Keyboard mode is also available with a toggleable snapback mode: !Joystick UI keyboard
