Create Aeronautics: Tournament
by ncatn
Create Aeronautics: Tournament is a NeoForge add-on for Create that adds flight-oriented contraptions, including gyro stabilization and six-way thruster control.
What it does
Players build rockets, airplanes, helicopters, cars and motorcycles from Create parts. The mod adds a gyro block that acts as a horizontal attitude controller: it continuously corrects a vehicle's pitch and roll to hold a level attitude, which makes helicopter construction simpler. A redstone signal on the top of the gyro sets the stabilization intensity, so a higher signal gives a stronger correction force and a lower one gives a softer, more natural response.
Six-way thrusters and spinners are driven by a six-way state machine and RCS system, which is meant to ease building vehicles that move in several directions. Force and torque output is configurable by magnitude and direction from each block's position, and internal parameters can be changed through an NBT editor. The mod requires Sable, and it runs on client and server, so the server and every player need it. Files are published for NeoForge 1.21.1 under the Apache License 2.0, and the source code is public.
Key features
Gyro stabilization
The gyro block holds a vehicle level by correcting pitch and roll automatically.
Redstone-controlled correction
A signal on the top of the gyro sets how strong the stabilization is, from soft to firm.
Six-way thrusters and spinners
Thrusters and spinners use a six-way RCS state machine to produce thrust and rotation in each direction.
Configurable force and torque
Each block generates force and torque with magnitude and direction set from its position, and internal values can be edited with an NBT editor.
Explosive triggers
Instantaneous explosives can trigger other parts of a contraption, and altitude and speed limits can be configured.
Sable support update
Version 0.0.1 updates support for the Sable dependency and fixes a number of bugs.

Use cases
Helicopters
The gyro's automatic stabilization handles level flight, so builders can focus on the rotor and thrust layout.
Airplanes and rockets
Six-way thrusters and spinners give control over direction for flying contraptions.
Ground vehicles
Cars and motorcycles can be built with the same force and torque blocks used for aircraft.
Who it’s for: Builders who already play with Create and want to make flying machines. Server owners need the mod on their server and every player must install it as well.
