This vanilla-style pirate airship features three decks and a large balloon, built by caley19. Before flight, ensure the anchor and ship are assembled and the anchor is attached. Start the three steam engines – two in the balloon and one at the rear. The mechanical arms may require targets, and the ropes connecting the ship to the balloon are decorative.
The airship includes manual controls at the front, alongside typewriter controls for strafing and precision height adjustments using the arrow keys. The anchor is operated manually via two levers and a button on the right side. A self-leveling mechanism is integrated, indicated by the two parts of the balloon.
Docking connectors are purely for aesthetic purposes and do not offer storage. The creative engines are solely for initiating the steam engines. Enjoy this unique build!
