Mod recommendations

  • Ferram Aerospace Research - I highly recommend this. Feels much more "floaty".
  • Firespitter and/or KAX - for prop engines
  • RCS Build Aid does not only aid in RCS thruster placement. It is also a great tool for airship engineers. Does your airship experience weird forces causing it to spin around uncontrollably? RCS Build Aid helps.
  • Kerbal attachment System (KAS) contains anchors to keep your airship in place.
  • Hangar Extender - break the boundaries of your SPH to build huge hindenburg-like airships

###Additional Notes: It is only possible to save, while the ship touches the ground and is very slow. So you might want to use KAS for anchoring.

3rd Party

  • This mod contains code from m4v's RCS Build Aid plug-in, published under LGPLv3. It's a great plug-in, please give it a try if you like.
