Thank the Gods! i've been waiting on this mod for my steam punk themed world forever.
a few quick suggestions though. the smokestack sticking up in front of the player i originally thought was a directional lever or something to that effect in the original mod. it didn't bother me before but now it seems bigger and blocks the forward view. combined with the distracting smoke particles it's a bit hard to see were you're going sometimes. since the engines are now located on the sides wouldn't it be more appropriate to have the particle effect come from them instead? that way the smokestack could go back to being a lever or even turn into a ships wheel for directing the ship. also i think it would be super awesome if you could right click on the airship with a chest to get some sort of storage compartment to keep coal, arrows, or extra items in.
lastly and i don't want to be to pushy about this, but do you or anyone you know plan to update pchan3's other mods? i would love to see pirates and steamboats again.
Thanks again for all your hard work in updating this mod!
Could you make another recipe for the balloon ? Actually, this mod is not compatible with backpacks (http://www.minecraft...ackpacks-v-156/) because they have a common recipe wich is essential for both. Or is there a way I can change the recipe by myself ?
You can always use dyes to craft backpacks. Just saying...

In you .minecraft there is an airship.properties file. Open that in notepad++ and change the value of boiler from show to hide.
Yeah, it would be amazing if you could make the recipes configurable. For our server, we'd like to make them a little more difficult to make. Iron blocks instead of iron ingots, for example. Cured leather instead of leather, as another example. Rope instead of string, etc. Perhaps you could simple allow each group of items to be configurable? I imagine something like (config pseudocode)
If you knew how FC thinks, you'd know he's totally with "Incompatible With Everything". It's not a joke for him, he doesn't want anyone to play BTW with other mods, it 'destroys' the feel of the mod and it's HIS mod like he says and he doesn't care.
Which is why BTW comes with a config file to change the IDs it uses and instructions on making it compatible with other mods...?

This right here is my Christmas present! Thank you, this was the very first mod I ever installed wayback when, and it's still my favorite. Happy to hear it's multiplayer compatible too; I'd really like to try getting it to work with Feed the Beast.
Actually you should recommend this and see if they'd add it to the FTB modpack. It'd be one hell of hit I'd imagine. I mean, FTB did just add the zeppelins from Traincraft, but they're sadly just not as great as the airship mod.

That's a really good idea; I'll look into it after I fix the more pressing bug of MC crashing when you break the balloon.
They aren't invincible; you just need to hit them with a tool, and hit them multiple times.
where 'NNN' is the item ID in question would be absolutely awesome.
As for your incompatibility with the Backpacks mod, perhaps 8 leather surrounding wool would be sufficient. Call it thermal insulant or something

I'm going to second this. I would absolutely love the ability to change the recipe like that.
I will definitely look into configurable recipes. I'll keep you guys Posted
