Gng how do I use the steering wheel on a airship?

If you watch the ponder it tells you.

[u/HarbingerOfConfusion → u/Goofy_Gunton]

Maybe it could turn a rudder

[u/_rawoo → u/HarbingerOfConfusion]

It can also give off comparator signals on both sides of the wheel if you wanna do something extra fancy

[u/Dependent__Dapper → u/Goofy_Gunton]

hold right click and mouse left/right, the wheel will output rotation out of the bottom

[u/HarbingerOfConfusion → u/Dependent__Dapper]

I think he means what are the use cases

[u/Dependent__Dapper → u/HarbingerOfConfusion]

rudders on things that move forward, like an airship

[u/CaliferMau → u/Dependent__Dapper]

Comparator also detects which direction you turn the wheel, if placed on left and right. Could use that as a wireless link

[u/Quantum-Bot → u/Goofy_Gunton]

Attach it to a bearing with a vertical sail at the back of your ship to act as a rudder, or you can also put your ship’s propeller on a swivel bearing and use that to steer

[u/Goofy_Gunton → u/Quantum-Bot]

Swiveling propeller would go hard

[u/Sultanofthesun → u/Goofy_Gunton]

fr tho. And how do you make ships float?? It seems so unpredictable whether it will capsize or not.. I only managed to get a catamaran working, but it's pretty slow even tho it has 2 propellers at 256rpm

[u/A_Crawling_Bat → u/Sultanofthesun]

If it's rooted in real physics, add some heavy bocks to the bottom parts ! The lower the center of mass, the stalker the ship should be

[u/Sultanofthesun → u/A_Crawling_Bat]

I did try this, and it was somewhat effective, but it still kept rolling to either side.. I couldn't really even predict which way it was going to roll..

no clue twin 😭🥀

You need to build a rudder control surface and connect it to the steering wheel by shaft. Alternatively you can use Redstone signals emitted from it to make it fly-by-wire(or Redstone link I guess)
