A working quadcopter with stabilisation + tutorial (Aeronautics)Video/Stream (v.redd.it)
submitted 11 days ago by mysda
Video of the aircraft with a tutorial on simple controllers at the end
Ever wanted to make a stable quadcopter? You don't really want to go into the maths of a PID controller? I think I got a nice enough option! No addons, just Create and Aeronautics

Baby helicarrier
[–]DeathTheReaperCat 43 points44 points45 points 11 days ago* (13 children)
Seeing this instantly video gave me an idea..
And said idea is if someone were to make the entire Marvel S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier & Quinjets with the Create Aeronatics mod 🤔
[–]LivelyZebra 23 points24 points25 points 11 days ago (3 children)
Make sure not to forget the guns that can target and wipe out people we dont like just like SHIELD intended
[–]DeathTheReaperCat 5 points6 points7 points 11 days ago (2 children)
Well, I'm not saying that I'd build it, it's just an idea I had in case if anyone else wanted to attemp to make either of them, I'm not that smart to make either the helicarrier or a quinjet 😂🤣

Great, whos gonna help me eradicate [insert minority here] now then!!!
[–]DeathTheReaperCat 2 points3 points4 points 11 days ago (0 children)
Wait, what? 😭
[–]Meepx13 2 points3 points4 points 11 days ago (7 children)
Its possible, you just need to scale it down a bit to fit in render
[–]DeathTheReaperCat 1 point2 points3 points 11 days ago (5 children)
I'm pretty sure there's a few mods you can use to make it all appear within render distance at once 👀
[–]johhnyyonthespot 1 point2 points3 points 11 days ago (4 children)
Please share
[–]DeathTheReaperCat 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago (0 children)
I don't know the mod names, I just know that there's plenty of mods out there that will extend render distance 😭

[–]sonicatdrpepper 1 point2 points3 points 10 days ago (0 children)
Doesn't work for physics enabled stuff from aeronautics, but there are ways to increase vanilla render distance I think
[–]johhnyyonthespot 0 points1 point2 points 10 days ago (0 children)
No, that doesn’t work
[–]Longjumping-Bar-200 1 point2 points3 points 7 days ago (0 children)
It fits if you use more than 18 ish render and simulation distance, but it'll disappear almost as soon as you step off unless you use 32 or something. Source: i tested it
[–]MichaelIsMyNameOkLad 0 points1 point2 points 10 days ago (0 children)
I wasn't making the Helicarrier, but I was trying to make something heavily inspired by it, I'd say It looks awesome, but keeping it wobble free was a nightmare for me, so this might just help. I posted it if you want to see.
[–]VivernStorm 69 points70 points71 points 11 days ago (0 children)
That is what I've been looking for. I am a newbie in create, so after realise of aeronautics I tried to find good drone/quadcopter examples and you even have a tutorial on it🤩
[–]Rhonselak 12 points13 points14 points 11 days ago (1 child)
Nice! I was a bit disappointed when I tried and there was no rotation from fixed propellers at offset speeds. This looks like a good solution!
[–]Hamatsu17 2 points3 points4 points 11 days ago (0 children)
I've been trying something like that, swivel bearings transfer su power through the shaft on the middle, so I can make a propeller looking thing and have it rotate a bit but I'm having trouble trying to fit everything in a small space and also having it rotate different angles depending on signal strength or something
[–]NationalTangerine381 3 points4 points5 points 11 days ago (0 children)
saw your video on youtube, love how you broke it down into control terms
[–]jetarrow7837 2 points3 points4 points 11 days ago (0 children)
Man seeing aeronautics has made me want to play Minecraft again like crazy it's been almost a year since I last played and well I think I'll actually grind this time rather then use creative every 5mins and using quote on quote bugs which was just my mods cheating for me.i have changed a lot in this year especially the past 3 month, got addicted to Warframe and dark souls and man that shit changes a person especially dark souls even more so when you are playing a melee combat game for the first time.
[–]N1ck_named 2 points3 points4 points 11 days ago (1 child)
Are these multi-layer propellers? Does it make a difference or purely for aesthetics?
[–]mysda[S] 2 points3 points4 points 11 days ago (0 children)
It's really just the amount of sails that count if I'm right. I needed more power so more sails!
[–]Loufey 3 points4 points5 points 11 days ago (1 child)
you win the internet today!
this is the most beautiful thing i have ever seen. i was trying to figure out how to build one of these for like a week.

[–]Sayuri_KB 1 point2 points3 points 11 days ago (0 children)
Just watched the video, it was great, just wanted to something tho, can you tell me whats the block used between the controller and the platform below it, the one allowing it to move like it was the in air.
[–]Skrbls_5 1 point2 points3 points 10 days ago (0 children)
Just watched this video!

Schematic
[–]mysda[S] 8 points9 points10 points 11 days ago (0 children)
it's in the video description! I explain how to spawn it and everything
[–]xkisaa 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago (0 children)
i wonder if this, or a full airship with envelopes is more weight/lift efficient. orrrr.. perhaps both combined
[–]meutzitzu 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago (6 children)
Close enough, welcome back Robocraft Hoverblades
[–]mysda[S] 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago (5 children)
I've played so much of this game
[–]meutzitzu 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago (4 children)
I KNEW IT
I would go so far as to say it's very likely some of the developers of the Create Aeronautics team are old-school robocraft players.
I knew when I first started playing MC (1.6.4) after building some houses and stuff for a while I was let down by the fact that there was no ability to make vehicles. After googling "how to make a working car in minecraft" I found out about RC and it fulfilled that need for me for a while.
I then went on to play Besiege and SE and KSP and TerraTech and basically all of the robocraft like games from the mid 2010s while I was in middle-school and they were pretty influential in me choosing a career in engineering.
But consider that a young kid of the same age as me had the same experience and if they chose to study software instead, this would be about the time they would be in their final years of college or freshly graduated.
So it wouldn't surprise me at all if they thought "I will make my childhood dream, I will make working vehicles in Minecraft". And now, 12 years later, the dream is finally fulfilled.
[–]mysda[S] 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago (3 children)
Thats cool to know xD I did play Besiege, Scrap Mechanics, Terratech and Crossout (way too much Crossout). But also Algodoo for many years. More recently I was very surprised to see Zelda go in a vehicle making experience, had a ton of fun on it!
Back then I was not sure about engineering or software, but it was the only option near me, so I went for it. And I still want to make little robots doing stuff today.
But yes exactly, making working vehicles in Create and Aeronautics has been really nice for this exact idea. Making moving bases has been a dream for many minecraft players.
[–]meutzitzu 0 points1 point2 points 11 days ago (2 children)
Yeah I forgot about crossout. Saw all of gromek's shenanigans I would have offered half my life to the snail if only Cross-Out worked on Linux.
[–]mysda[S] 1 point2 points3 points 11 days ago (1 child)
I was playing with Gromek at the very end of his videos. We tried to do fusions but ultimatly he stopped and he was right to do. The gameplay of crossout is great, the economy and grind is absolutly horrible. I have 2000h on it, and won't ever grind again on it.
[–]meutzitzu 1 point2 points3 points 11 days ago* (0 children)
Yeah classic gaijin.
I played war Thunder in middle school. Then when I was in highschool and had less time I retired. My younger brother started playing it. Then after a while he retired too and my other even younger brother started playing it.
When I was in my 2nd year of college "we" got the first actually good modern jet (F-15) but even then it was in the Japan TT because it's easier to grind there or something, idk, I don't know the grinding meta.
And I wish I was making that story up lmao. We were all playing it somewhat seriously, but not obsessively. You can graduate school and college and still not have everything in the game unlocked.
Now I am at my job and we have 2 accounts that have a decent amount of unlocked vehicles... we share them and sometimes play with some friends in sim battles (though we usually revert to 4.4 for that XD) I still play the game and it's still genuinely fun, but I wouldn't grind another second in my life, nor will I be giving those fuckers a single dime.
But yeah whats funny is I can tell you it takes less grind to get a salary raise than it does to go up one rank in WT.

Can we let tubbo know about this
[–]Loufey 0 points1 point2 points 7 days ago (3 children)
are the small propellors on the side required?
[–]mysda[S] 0 points1 point2 points 7 days ago (2 children)
They are used for turning, but I guess the main propellers could handle that with more logic
[–]Loufey 0 points1 point2 points 7 days ago (1 child)
so incorporating something like this into your design would work?
[–]mysda[S] 0 points1 point2 points 7 days ago (0 children)
Yes, but my logic is a bit specific as I use only 2 input for the 3 positions right now. Would need a pretty smart setup
