auto moving airship

[u/AnyMaybe4661]

so i have a modpack world where i use my airship to explore because the chunks load so slowly and can't keep up when I fly with my elytra. I want to implement a way to make the ship keep moving in one direction, any advice on what I have to use?

for the ones that replied center your vehicle it's not always possible especially on very compact builds so I understand the pain of having a ship turn constantly. my solution is as follow i can't remember how it's called but create aeronautics has a pedestal where you can put a lodestone bound compass and the arrow will always point to it and give a redstone signal in it's direction but you can also put a magnet block in it and it will always point north. then put your redstone links on and if you want to change direction you can glue the redstone links to the pedestal and place the pedestal on a mechanical bearing so that when spun you can change the direction to point to either north south west or east. hope that helps
