How to Stabilize Your Airship with a Gyroscope

Powering and Checking Gyroscope Status

To prevent your airship from tipping or falling out of alignment during flight, place a gyroscope onto the structure. The gyroscope requires rotational power from your engines to actively balance the ship and hold it level in the sky.

To check your stabilization status, look directly at the gyroscope block. A helpful text box will appear on your screen, reporting whether the airship is properly stabilized or if your rotational power supply is insufficient to keep the vessel flat.

Adjusting Gyroscope Stiffness

By default, a fully powered gyroscope will forcefully hold your ship in a flat position. If you want to perform banking maneuvers, you can adjust how rigidly it locks your craft:

1. Run a redstone line to the gyroscope or attach a variable redstone power source.

2. Apply a redstone signal to change the gyroscope's holding stiffness.

3. Adjust the signal level to allow your ship to temporarily tilt, turn, and pitch during flight before automatically leveling back out.
