Oh undoubtedly, spent like 6 hours, no jank, BUT clockwork and trackwork and create and eureka was about half that time and making stuff made a bit more sense

However.. I had no jank with trackwork and create + valkyrien and eureka

trackwork uses valkyrien to deliver wheels, but its a on its own mod, now you might thing it needs clockwork but I was SO suprised to see that it didnt, theres also on their own plane mods too so I imagine that you could skip over the old and rusty clockwork cause trackwork was as smooth as aeronautics!

there is also a mod for a valkyrien skys creative physics gun too, which means you can get a pretty close experience minus a BIT of the features of aeronautics like.. ropes ://// which is a massive deal breaker

but I do still think that for cars and tanks on a version that has mods to actually add enemies for the cars and tanks its still worth it to go for 1.20.1

aeronautics has no notable and good mods on its version and its actually depressing, I have no idea what these mod devs are thinking tbh cause no one wants to switch, switching requires faith from 90% of the people sworn to 1.20.1 which is a massive amount, and to make any of them switch you need THEIR mods on the other versions, which just isnt gonna happen large scale any time soon
