I'm just following orders

that's what they all say...

Apparently I need a better understanding of how "air blades" work.... I built my first flying vehicle I didn't think it'd even take off, because I added quite a bunch of stuff on it. But it did! And promptly got caught in a tree, rotated until upside down and then I exited and turned off the generator (don't want to waste my deuterium even if it's made from lake water - it takes a while to generate enough of it, after all) and it fell down with all wheels in the air. Approximately 2 meters from my "garage" (Which I only built because it's raining all the bloody time).

So... back to school on air blades and what they should be set to, so you can move in other directions than just up and down...

And then either rebuild the whole damn thing or build a winch to turn it right side up. I think I might rebuild. Maybe. Prettier. If possible.

well, since it crashed right outside the garage very little transportation was required. I'm now almost done with its successor... it needs some beauty work, though...

Edit: at least it was close to finished. I just tried shutting the game down and it's not responding. Hopefully it did an auto save.... oh look, it's shut down. Never mind.

I thought I'd finish up the last bits and try flying again.... I can now get it to turn but it still won't fly forwards...
and when I tried to go higher it started rotating in the air... I quickly reloaded an earlier autosave... phew. I think I'll need to rebuild again. The tires (6) don't seem to be enough to carry the weight on land, when not flying, either... *sigh*
(The in game help doesn't address building aircraft and the online tutorials I've seen are basically just repeating exactly what the in game help says...)
