From: Cro Sola thats really cool, did you build the control script for it to or if not what did you use for it I mostly scripted it myself. I looked at a few of the scripts used in some freebie vehicles to get some ideas, and read the vehicle tutorial on the LSL wiki. From there, it was trial and error - this was my first big scripting project on SL so I wanted to do a lot of it myself to get the hang of it. It's not hard to make a good vehicle script once you understand how the events work. The hardest part was getting the parameters tweaked just right so that it flies like a blimp and not an F-16. I think I got what I wanted - it has a fair amount of inertia, so it accelerates and turns very slowly. I managed to make a nice flight instrument HUD for it too. It's turned out to be a pretty cool way to do some exploring. I've been working on a couple of different color schemes as well - I've made a black one and a steel-colored one, and will be working on others. I'm hoping to start selling these as soon as I get shop space, hopefully early in September. |

Very nice looking airship there... I'll have to talk to you for ideas on my own party blimp I am working on.
I need a little help with things such as a flight script... door script (I want the door to open down to reveal stairs like a learjet does), and I still need to link the gas balloon to the gondola some how...
If you have any ideas drop me a line please!

Lovely work--I especially like the Victorian railing--nice touch  Oh, if you are looking for majestic vistas to explore, might I recommend the Highlands of Caledon with its steep crags adorned with castles? Caledon is rather airship friendly, besides |

Very nice except you need to turn either the blimp or the boat around, one is facing one way the other, well, the other.
