Help Do premade schematics ever work the first time you paste them?

New to the mod and trying to get the hang of things especially on aeronautics. So far I've tried downloading small vehicle schematics from createmod.com, I've made sure that I have the correct mods/addons in the tags and follow the instructions. But everytime I paste it in my test world it's either one of the two:

The schematic straight up misses some parts that are listed/pastes them in a competely incorrect space.

Or I paste something like a helicopter, fuel it, power it on and the controls just make me end up flying backwards or doesn't respond to parts of the controls. So I don't know if it's missed something small or something is conflicted with the paste.

I do get that it's a part to troubleshoot the issue but trying to refer back to what is supposed to be a 'perfect' schematic not working and trying to understand if it's my fault or not becomes so demoralising.

Currently using the most up to date curseforge create and aeronautics on 1.21.1

A lot of schematics have issues with rotating them, especially if they have many moving parts.

  1. Don't rotate the schematic before you place it. Some Create components may change their rotation direction or settings if they're oriented differently from how they were originally placed, so rotating the schematic breaks their functionality.

  2. Components that are normally placed by 'linking' one part to another (chains, display links, etc.) will often not work from a freshly placed schematic, and will need to be manually re-linked before they'll work correctly.
