You're looking for "Vehicle Framework - Local Flight Systems".

I saw another mod earlier that let you fly air vehicles around the local map like Nair is asking for. Let me check if I can find it again.

@Annabellee Will take a look this weekend to see if there are any errors or if it needs only a tag update

Any plans for 1.6

Sure, your mod so your call, but that just seems needlessly annoying. It's an airship, movability is like, it's whole thing. If I want to move my car over in my driveway I don't drive to the next town first.

@Nairagorn is possible but in not the intended behavior I want for this vehicle, if you need to reposition it launch>select and adjacent tile>select the home tile>choose the desired landing spot

Would you be able to make it driveable, so it could be repositioned on the local map?

@WJSabey
Just did a quick test with the live version and works fine
Try this list to tests if is my mod
-Harmony
-Core
-Vanilla expanded Framework
-Vehicle framework
-Vanilla vehicles expanded
If it doesn't crash i'll need to have a look since this mod don't add anything special it's just some custom skins on the VF stuff

Unfortunately this crashes the game when I try to use it, even if I have no other mods than this and its requirements. It fails at the main menu with the "mods are incompatible with each other or this game version, all mods are disabled" warning popup. And when I add hugslib and try to get a log, that crashes too and just gives a red error. I'm on Linux, if that makes any difference.

Woo!

@Rex705 just updated

1.5?

Thanks - it's working now.

How can I offer gifts to hostile factions with this thing?

Yeah I load cargo first, then I load pawns in the same way I would load them into an Imperial shuttle, I select them from the colonist bar and then right click the vehicle (you get to choose 1 pilot and the rest are passengers). It was strange at the start because I did not intuit what to do either, but now it's easy when I am used to it.

@mountainofcheezo flying vehicles work differently since they don't have to path to the edge of the map
steps
1.load the cargo you want move (use the load cargo gizmo)
2.load a pilot, you can select pawn right click board as pilot (that will enable the launch button)
3.Launch to where you want to go

Why can't we use the same "form vehicle caravan" mechanic that you use for the trade cart? It seems to be way cleaner? I can't figure out how to form a caravan with this thing.

Oh, okay I will try that, thanks! I didn't realize I could double click on their portraits while having the red line from the ship loading interface active!

@Narada I can't change that is a Vehicle framework functionality, would use the top colonists bar to avoid chasing people around the map, use right right-click + drag on their portraits to organize them

I am loving this ship but loading pawns seems to be a bit of a pain in the ass, I have to chase them around the map and click each one in order to choose them and with 20+ pawns it's really a struggle to find where they are. Is there a possibility to implement a list of pawns into the loading option like it is with items? So far I've been able to speed it up by drafting them close to the ship but I feel like that's not very streamlined, or maybe I am missing something?

@doomswell
No, uses Chemfuel

Does this use wood for fuel for medieval playthroughs without overhaul?

will do @Rangelx97! the About.xml looks right :D if it yells ill hit you up in discord lol

@XxHyde840xX Lmk if is still an issue now

Thanks for the awesome mod and updates!

@Rangelx97 - your mod is still yelling about URL's being required for it's dependencies. Please fix this in the about.xml. I understand it doesn't affect gameplay, but I'm kinda over changing the file every time you update the mod lol.

Some values were renamed in VVE that is fixed now, make sure you are updated

Ok I can see your airship now but I can't build it and when I spawn it show an error and can't spawn
Root level exception in OnGUI(): System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

@Penguinire got it, that it's fixed now

Can you fix the code, I can't see your airship

Thank you so much

works well so far thank you

Hey well i noticed that i got the research not the ship in my medieval game so i gone into the codes and had to change Hermes def required research to the research you made into the mod not VV arial research. other than that i can build ship now so after testing it we will see so far it looks great in the artwork

You need to put a download URL for the dependencies in the About.xml:
Mod RX97 Medieval Airships: Hermes dependency (OskarPotocki.VanillaVehiclesExpanded) needs to have <downloadUrl> and/or <steamWorkshopUrl> specified.
The game shows this warning on startup even if your mod is not active

@Troublesomeknight it's the for some sound effects will remove it once I get my own

Why is Vanilla Vehicles Expanded needed?

@Eagle chemfuel but if MO is enabled coal

what does it take as fuel?

Naw chief, adds too many bits just for hte purpose of having more bits

My friend you should check out Early Vehicle Parts https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3022062151

noice

@XxHyde840xX idk They don't have fantasy-ish components for medieval balloons, steam engines, and such If I'm going to make vehicle components would have to be from scratch

@The Blind One there you go

Would be awfully nice if we could see the whole airship with a good preview and give us some stats.

Awesome stuff @Rangelx97! Love a good airship. Any chance of integration with Early Vehicle Parts mod at some point? Keep up the awesome work!
