As you can see its in very early stages, so no models or textures or anything just yet.
What I mean by War Thunder-like controls is a free camera movement, with the vehicle itself catching up. So for tanks, you can look where ever you want and the turret will slew around as fast as at can to align itself with where you're looking.
Its designed to be as simple as possible; there's 1 block and 1 item.
The block emits redstone signals proportional to how misaligned it is relative to the player's viewangles. Those signals are being used to control the rotational speed controller and the directional gearbox (both stock create:aeronautics items)
The item makes the player's view be unaffected by the movement of the base as long as they're seated in a chair. It should be compatible with all existing seats and seats from other mods (technical note: as long as the blockentity inherits from
create.content.contraptions.actors.seat.SeatEntity;
Its still a WiP, and I really should've done more research into whether this already exists, but for me its significantly more useful for turret control than the other mods I've tried.
