Any progress?

Sadly, no.  Got busy on other things and tired of waiting for Squad to patch some bugs and never got back to this.

I understand, move on sir, you are legend.

Fiddling about with airships for the first time in a couple of years...  It flew, but not well.  Need to relearn design and flying...

Having longitudinal control problems with my airships.  Then my brain dredged up memories from a couple of years back and I remembered you had to statically balance your ships to minimize control issues.  Took a couple of hours to remember how...  This version uses the fuel in the Gyro Rings, which messes up my resources display.  Next time around, I'm going to try one of Angel-125's custom resources instead, that way the fuel gauge isn't screwy.

Still having control issues, ones I don't recall having before.  Either I am forgetting them, or something with the game/mods has changed in the interim.  OTOH, this is about the smallest practical airship, and I never built one that small before, so that may be the source of my problems.  Still, having fun even while being annoyed.  Engineering challenges are fun, and as soon as I'm done screwing around in the SPF I'll head out into the world.
