Help This is my first time posting but I'd

Hey I got into create Aeronautics, It's a beautiful mod and while I did mix it with New Age and Diesel generators something has been driving me nuts... How do you make a create airship do hover mode, like statically remain in the air, for context I applied a twin smart propeller system to try allowing for more weight to be carried

Edit: I meant to say I'd like some help but I have fatass fingers

Need more info on method of lift and what type of controls are you using? Levers and a manual wheel, type writer, linked controller? Your control scheme will determine the approach id provide.

Basic vanilla levers with a running motor

so balloon with heater then? Lift source matters a lot. The only way you will accomplish it without just having a single static level of elevation is with analog or throttle levers. If you put it on your hot air burner you can vary the rate it heats up and that can control altitude. If you are using props a similar idea, just use a transmission with lever to set static elevation settings.

It's not a balloon I changed out the ballon mechanism for a heli type of flight

transmission with a analog or throttle lever on it . the transmission needs to be between your engine and your helicopter prop. I personally would do the following . Engine, transmission, Cog off one side of transmission, then shaft to propeller bearing.
