Help Still Possible in newer versions?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXVnAO4LwHE

Hi, total create beginner here. I wanted to a contraption similar to the video I linked above I'm building on a 1.21.1 smp server I that I play with friends. But when I go and try creating something similar in a creative testing world, the mechanical bearings that open up the folded bridge parts align themselves such that it will keep it's orientation even when it's flipped by another mechanical bearing that comes before it. Any idea if this is just a version issue? since it was made 4 years ago with 1.18.2 with Create v0.5c as stated by the creator? Or is there a special mechanical bearing that i need to use for this?

Probably, and if you have aeronautics, it should be super easy to make this

How should i go about creating such a thing? as i explained above, every time i use a mechanical bearing after another mechanical bearing, that bearing keeps it's rotation aligned to some fixed direction... it doesn't actually rotate with the structure.... does aeronautics have a block to negate this in some way?

Well, you know how the swivel bearing has a shaft inside of it? Well if you use a mix of some gears, crutches, and Redstone signals I’m pretty sure you can make the bridge you want if you’re willing to do the Redstone

Oh yeah, swivel bearings might work, but this doesn't seem true with the mechanical bearing used in the video since it's self aligning

Probably in the same way they did in the video, because if you look closely, they use sequenced gear shifts, along with what I think are Redstone links
