    I'm sharing some progress on an airship mod I've been making recently. It has a helium-filled hull and floats in air using the game's native buoyancy support. As far as I know, this is the first LTA (lighter-than-air) vehicle for BeamNG.

    Basic features are inspired by existing modern airships:
    - semi-rigid airship architecture consisting of a gas envelope with an internal frame to hold it in shape
    - a gondola/cabin which holds 2 flight crew, 14 passengers, and includes a lavatory
    - 3 gasoline engines, 200 hp each, powering vectoring and variable pitch propellers which allow hovering in place, taking off vertically, and flying backwards

    Progress (09/2025)

    The mod is still early in development. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions, ideas, or suggestions.

    At some point I'll probably release it to a limited number of people for testing, and later do a full release. If you've flown an airship in real life or another flight simulator and are interested in testing, let's talk :)
