The Red Baron's Airship
In another universe, the Red Baron survived the war and became the Captain of a German airship carrier. Use this tool of war to strike terror into the hearts of the enemy.
Note: Don't start in Yeager airport. This ship is too big.
Instructions Airship: Throttle up and use VTOL to adjust pitch of props. When you are level in the air, use 8 to lock the pitch/roll/yaw of the airship, and then use trim to adjust pitch if necessary. Once airborne, say 1,000 feet, you can launch aircraft.
Instructions Aircraft: Action group 1 & 2 for two front bi-planes, Action group 3 for Gotha Bomber (TIP pitch airship down to take off successfully). Action Group 4 & 5 for rear bi-planes. Bombs on the Gotha Bomber are on action group 7. Airplane guns and engine engages with the action group so you don't shoot your ship in the air.
IMPORTANT: Gotha Bomber can get stuck if you are pitched "up" when you try to launch with AG 3. I suggest pitching down, then correct your Airship pitch with the trim. Don't forget to lock the airship controls with 8 to keep it from flying around when you are playing with the aircraft. On the flip side, landing the bomber is easy on the wacky physics landing pad since it tends to just "stick".
Also... It will blow up on start up on the airport with the double runway and hangers since the airship is partially sticking into the hanger (too darn big). Try a different airport if this happens to you.
This is a big creation, so I'm sorry mobile users. Please try out my smaller version.

I want dat micro Gotha...?
@WalrusAircraft I can run this
Airship carrier! Cool!
@WalrusAircraft ok!
It would be hard because of the size. I have a smaller mobile version in my inventory. @TimeTraveler
This is awesome! Do you think you could make it mobile-friendly? And make the planes able to be subassemblies?
@WalrusAircraft hmm, maybe he is in heaven now...
@ProKillaV12 ok I will try it
My current project is the same size as this....
He never left! @MAHADI

@Clawsome @ProKillaV12 - thanks guys, and yeah... those biplanes can take a beating.
Sooooo cool!
@MrDoolittle i'm using an Ipad air 2, turn all settings to low and despawn all AI aircraft and set 0 ai and you will get 0 lag even if you blow up!
Those mini planes are so tough!!!
I love these airships so much!
@WalrusAircraft dang I might get that then, my iPad Air 2 can't handle it
Great build!
@Insertname @MrDoolittle - iPhone 7 is more powerful than my 2013 MacBook Pro. Truly an amazing device!
phone 7 plus seems to handle much bigger builds@WalrusAircraft
@WalrusAircraft yeah mine can't handle it a bit
@Insertname - Oh, that's good news. You must have a good iOS device.
@saturn28 @TheOwlAce @SimpleFlow - Thanks very much!
iOS user here! Works absolutely fantastic!!!@WalrusAircraft
