This is part of my steamship build but the overall build got too large and lags out. So here is the propulsion system. Each side is independent and the force can be directed in any analog direction. The force is independent of the direction of rotation. Yikes! The direction of rotation only influences torque and a little bit of efficiency. HJ and NM for rotation, FG and VB for direction. Only 4 keys. Hehe. Each paddle can go in any direction at any time. Simplest to try it is just mash HJ and play with FG together and then VB together. So you really are only sending two inputs, a constant rotation (HJ mashed with one finger) and coordinated direction (FG or VB mashed with one finger). Works because wings would rather go forward than backward. Note that the whole thing just uses two steering motors and two wheels for drive. I used hydrogen in the balloons because I am tired of balloons and flying blocks covering my builds. The video does not do the system justice, having complete freedom of each thrust means rotate on a dime, opposite rotations to cancel torque with no change in performance, direction is immaterial in many ways.

That's pretty cool.
