Any Successful Stable Flying Machines?!
Has anyone built one? I don't really really trust builds through videos posted through youtube as each of those hovercraft we're constructed using stabalizers and larger objects under older Game Builds or Game Versions.

i had to use two stabilizers [suspension in solid loop with driven bearings] to provide 'Pitch' and 'Yaw' to the vehicle.
An electric engine thru seat drives 'pitch' on 'w' and 's', and the 'yaw' bearing runs to steering on seat, 'a' and 'd'.
I only have 1 button to turn thrusters on, control of vehicle is thru seat...

I can fly it where ever i want, so its successful... but i've learnt to just fly the machine and not care about the drivers orientation to his destination.

That would require more than the 2 bits of suspension, 1 seat and thrusters mine has [basic proof of concept vehicle].

Easy enough, but my next mission is to build a 'mad scientist' enclave up in the hills.... ...somewhere to work/build where i am not tempted to also run a quick crop, or craft up more lvl 3 mats... or quickly change something on an unrelated build. I get distracted with too much to do around. So a workshop in the hills full of chests of contollers and engines, pistons etc.

Just start building mate, take some hints from youtube and try them out incorperated into your own design.

hmm. I still build stabilizers in survival no problem.
My current HV actually has 8 stabilizers, 1 suspension glitch for turning, and 6 thrusters. It is extremely stable. Hovers in place with no issues.
I have not upped to workshop, but I have had a lot of people ask me to come in and make it for them from scratch in survival. It can then be exported (admin commands only) as a blueprint and they can recall any time they want.
I don't have any intentions of upping to workshop as I would only rather build it for real so ppl know that its not some remnant from the past.

Maybe sometime we just go creative so you can decide.

There is such a thing as stable suspension glitches and stabilizers. They just have to be done right.
