Personally I've been just upgrading my bike to perfection each time... Adding a fan tower to each side of the back fan and then another fan to the front as close to center as possible makes it go much faster and straightens the lean.
I was trying this for over an hour and the bike kept tilting when made……. Then I realized I never did the clockwise rotation at the start for the first fan 😂 after that worked like a charm best guide out there tyvm
Holy crap. Thank you SO MUCH for this. I am a machinist by trade, for more than a decade now. 80% of my whole job is the creation of simple methods to square up/align things to other things. I tend to get a little compulsive about it, even when it’s not something I’m doing for work. The TOTK hover bike is a great example. Been struggling constantly to get a perfect alignment saved as a favorite for weeks now, because having it even a little bit drifty drives me nuts. Just did this, and it WORKED, and I swear you’ve saved a substantial amount of my hair from getting pulled out of my scalp, by me. I hope this gets 50 million views and likes and TH-cam pays you lots of $$.

to clarify, no matter how straight we aligned a build. There's a slight randomness on weight distribution. With the same perfectly aligned blueprint, you could tilt left, go straight, or tilt right and there's no way we could control that. This has been tested and confirmed by numerous people, the results are similar, with the same blueprint having slight left, straight, and slight right after starting from the same position making a fountain shape with 3 main fly paths on the map. The only thing we could do is align the build as straight as possible to minimise the tilt when it happens.
Something else I noticed to this - it's random each time you get on the bike. I.e. you can use this build to autobuild one bike. And you can control it and get off and then get on again - do this several times with the same bike. You will sometimes skew left, sometimes skew right, etc.
@@pinkyandorbrainprobably because Link’s position on the steering stick can vary by 0.000001 meters off from the center, probably due to floating point positions
So i built one in my first playthrough, then forgot exactly how i built it from just auto building it for a few weeks when i started my second playthrough, thanks for making it so simple for me to re-make it, definitely the simplest way to build a perfect one
Okay I know this sounds weird to ask, but why do a second playthrough right after your first one? Isn't it simply just the same game again? Like, you haven't given it time over the years before you go back to it.
@@Rain1I don't understand this trend either. There's nothing to gain from repeating the game twice, and it's overly tedious enough to complete it satisfactorily the first time. Maybe shorter linear games warrant a second try since they're more straightforward but some people spend months on a single game for some reason. I probably saw like 50-75% of TOTK, beat ganondorf and was done.
@@Rain1 Its cool dude I understand why you ask lol. So mostly, I just ran through and did as much as I found it, learned the story, and beat it. Now I restarted, and am going much more in depth with it, collecting koroks, grabbing all the extra stuff. I mostly wanted to just have the spoilers out of the way for me, so I didn't have to worry, and now am immersing into it more.
My bike goes very so slightly right when flying straight long distances, but since it's barely noticeable I haven't had the incentive to try to correct it to perfection. This video might change that. Well done. 👌
Yeah mine went to the right about and notice yours does too. And I think mine goes a bit more, but it isn’t a big deal. And in fact I decided to go with the four fans for more lift power and it straightened out. And now I do everything with my four fan bike as it is the most stable. Though I do love flying my one fan bike despite being hard to control.
@@NoHypothesis It has been confirmed the little tilting is random even if your build is aligned perfectly, so no need to be hard on yourself when the hoverbike could travel a long distance without tilting too much.
You had me at "turn off motion controls" 😂 that alone would help so much, but I'm thrilled to have such precise instructions to do this correctly. You're the best!
It really is genius to ensure that you do not change your stationary position so that all the pieces you want to position fall perfectly into alignment.
So far, I had stick to the Green Goblin overboard, thinking there was no such thing as a perfect overbike. You proved me wrong and gave me food for thought to improve my own one-fan design. Most useful video I have seen this week.
I built quite a few of these, but rotating the fans (along their central axis) in different ways, to test what was best. My best build was one *without* any rotations on either fan. That means skipping the "rotate clockwise once" step on the first fan in this video. The result I got from that attempt has a *very* minor tilt to the left, but it's much straighter than any of my other builds using this method. So straight that I can easily drop pins on things while flying, or go a considerable distance without any course correction at all. But ironically, that build doesn't stay flat on the ground when it's at rest! I think it's a worthy trade-off, though.
Thank you! I followed this guide exactly and got a Hoverbike with perfect alignment! The tricky part is then attaching a dragon scale to the underside so the range before it de-spawns is massively increased. It seems like you have to turn the bike over to attach the scale to the underside of the steering stick, and so far it seems that it can't be done with the same precision as making the rest of it. My best method has been leaning the bike against a wall and the trying my best to line the scale up with the center of the steering stick by eyeballing it, then testing it in flight, and then to keep re-trying until I achieve perfect alignment in flight again. Once you do the scale can be made out of Zonaite, adding 3 to the cost of making it, and it'll still retain the properties of being a dragon scale, including making your bike stay spawned in up to 2000 meters away! Here's the video where I learned that cool trick: th-cam.com/video/BF2cP0rkOfU/w-d-xo.html
You can also use brightblooms as they have a huge despawn distance, are plentiful and if you whack one on the front, act like headlights in the depths/ night but obvs can redistribute weight at little
This vid definitely is the best set of instructions I've seen so far. I used 2 profiles on my 8BitDo controller to try and get this perfect, one setting the triggers to up and down on the right stick so I could lift and lower the pieces with no chance of horizontal movement, and one with the D-pad set to the left stick so I could go up to the stack and jump off it perfectly. And yet, even with all this, it doesn't fly *perfectly*. It drifts left after a while. It's still probably slightly better than my previous autobuild favorite, which I used a stake to build, but I just wish so bad this could be made with no variance. Still, best I've seen, so thumbs up from me. Thanks!
I’ve been using this bike exclusively for dozens of hours - I don’t know what prompted me to even watch this but MAN did you just blow my mind by reminding me I can turn off motion controls. Wish I did it 100 hours ago.
I was able to eliminate all rotation at neutral stick by aligning the fans so the front emblems point at each other (as in the little gold line sticking out of the circle). The 45° offset consistently yielded a very small rotational drift for me (though it was minimal and very consistent)
Dude, I've already left a comment, but i just had to come back after having actually used your technique, and bro... It's legit. Absolutely legit. Good job, man
THANK YOU!! I did the process about seven times, and got the last one with only a 1 or 2 percent drift to the left. So good. I fly this thing everywhere now, including loading up Koroks on the front to help them find their friend 😁👍🏼 Love the almost perfect vertical takeoff. Navigating the map is much less of a grind now. Thanks again 🌄
Unreal. Your method is the only one that worked for me. It took me about 6-8 attempts because the stick’s weight would usually topple over once I attached it to the fan. It finally stayed in place on my last attempt and now I have finally a hover bike that flies straight
After several attempts, I finally got one right. And here I was thinking that the hoverbike that I've been using for the majority of my 400-hr playthrough was more than okay, only to be surprised by how much better at flying straight the new one that I made with your method is. The new one still arcs ever so slightly but it's only noticeable when viewing the flight path in hero's path mode. So, thank you!
Ok, pal. I have played this game for like 250 hours with a hoverbike that pulls to the left. I can't believe how great this worked. Thank you very much. You are the best.
Holy crap after about 6 attempts I got a 100% perfect hover bike that lays flat! At least I think it’s 100% straight cause if it is tilting it’s unnoticeable. Thanks for this tutorial!
I was struggling with attaching the steering stick at first but I learned that if the fan on top falls you can just recall it and grab it again, resetting it so it isn't tilted or slanted. Other than that slight hiccup it's amazing and flies perfectly straight!
I tried this method about 4 times, and each of them it left me turning just a little bit farther left than I could ignore, but on the fifth try it now leaves me with a hover bike that drives nearly perfectly straight. After extensive testing it goes just the littlest bit to the right, but it’s minor enough that I’m finally unbothered by it. Thanks for the tutorial.
Stellar video! Only suggestion I have is to build facing West so your autobuild creation will be facing directly in front of Link when constructing it.
Thanks so much for this tutorial, this did wonders for me! My hoverbike flies perfectly straight now. However, I was wondering if you have an extension to this process to align a dragon part so that the bike doesn't despawn
@@NoHypothesis Also for the fact, you need to upgrade your Energy Cell to all blue. That way it will last 3 minutes and 28 seconds per flight +20 seconds when you add 1 Large Zonai Charge at a time as soon as your energy bars are almost empty.
@@jacosyutin3885 Interesting... Personally I find the surface and sky more interesting to roam so I only fight the coliseum every blood moon for 100 crystal charges, so my energy cell upgrade is going steady but slow!
i spent hours trying to fix the slight tilt my bike ALWAYS had, I'm not messing with it again but this is genious, i wish I'd found the video sooner :")
nice, will remember this for playthrough 2. what I did with mine was attached a zonai shield to the bottom, opposite side of the lean. this balanced it out so it flew straight perfectly, but always cost 3 zonaite to craft.
somehow made it work from random parts on an island above tarrey town, its beautiful seeing it go so straight after trying to create other ways on my own lol thank you so much!!!!
You are a God amongst men. Thank you for this extremely easy to understand and copy set of steps and breaking down the easiest way possible to make this! I've been running around with a bike that likes to fight me more than stay in the air.
Best guide so far, tried a bunch before, made only gray hair, with this one perfect with 2nd try it's important to follow step by step exactly like in the guide
this is actually so much better than what I've been using for like 200 hours lol, the first iteration was a tiny bit off, but then I remembered I owned a fake pro-controller whose control sticks snap to the 4 directions, and it flys super straight, thank you
I managed to get a basically perfect alignment on my first attempt, but I used a stake so I had to add a dragon scale to save to autobuild correctly (not that I want to save it without that, since it extends the despawn range massively for a few zonaite). Might try this method later, and see how it compares.
Alternatively you could add a rocket to the side to save one that doesn't alter your weight distribution. With one template tilting 45 degrees forward for plains and one straight upwards if you are facing obstacle. It also helps a lot on take off while carrying yahaha or shrine stone.
@@Olifox99 just tested that all dragon parts have heavy weight and will tilt your hoverbike if not placed on the center. Alternatively you could throw a (giant) brightbroom seed on the bike when you make a new one. Apparently brightbroom seed has no weight at all and has quite a long despawn distance, as it was meant to light up underground with bow from a far. The glow also stands out when it bounced away.
Mine fell backwards also after doing the rotation of one of the fans as shown in this video, but if you don't rotate either fan then it won't fall backwards.
Great video. Mine has always had a slight right pull. I thought this was from both fans spinning clockwise, causing the ride to lean as it flies. Attach a dragon scale to the left side and itll stop leaning, and has a despawn distance of 2000 meters to boot.
Amazing, it worked. No mods. It took me 4 attempts to get the sequence right. Follow the instructions precisely and you can do it too, Important tip. He builds it with no gear equipped. My first one was way off because I believe the gear makes Link backward flip off center. Take off your gear before building this. Now my air bike is totally straight. Thanks man.
@@NoHypothesis Well I don't know that for sure. The first one I built went off center and my backflip was askew so I figured that was the reason. I wasn't sure why my backflip messed up. Then I noticed you did the build with no gear. I could be totally wrong about the gear and I just messed up the backflip with bad joystick control's.
I used a stake to keep mine level, but it still pulls very slightly to the right. Might try this and see if it is better. Also, good add ons for the bike. A giant light seed makes exploring the depths easy, and a dragon scale will stop the bike from despawning.
There's a lot of ways to lose the dragon scale though so only use it if you don't mind losing it on the off chance, way more so in the depths than above ground. If you accidentally bump it on something it can get destroyed, miniboss enemies will immediately destroy zonai devices along with the scale too, you have to leave it in a safe spot, Frox will suck up devices from a stupid distance away You have to start using it with keeping the scale in mind, which after a certain point becomes less fun once you can start killing things in a single bullet time by jumping off the bike.
@@Game2590 It is most useful on the overworld. I usually keep the scale in my inventory, and slap it on when I park the bike somewhere. Usually at a cave entrance. Also yeah, I've had a Frox eat my bike before... that was a pain. Especially since it was my light source.
If you have the arrows pointed at each other. It'll be a lot faster. The front fan pointed towards the back fan, and the back fan pointed towards the front fan. But I could never aligned it properly until now.
The one I eventually made with a different method was as straight as I could get it. If I let it fly it will do a extremely large circle when nothing it touching the controls. I think Nintendo needs to add another button for the ultrahand to specify alignment with another part. It would solve so many alignment issues.
I just put the control stick on the center of a small wood board, then use the snap points on the board to do things really easily. You end up with straight, perfectly level flight.
With the manufacturing time I'm done, in the end I'll be bored without wanting to play" oh by the way if you put 2 luminous flowers on this vehicle, one in front and one behind, you can walk all over the basement without lack of light
I finally tried this last week to rebuild the hover bike and with motion disabled and carefully moving it worked and so far it's flying straight. This helps alot in the depths when going places to places.
This guide unlike lots others actually worked! Which is saying something because alot of other guides have bad instruction or barely any tips so this really helped!
followed this, and the result is definitely straighter than my former build, I also like the clockwise rotation, it results in the bike being balanced when landed. It's still not perfect, but I think that's because when we use the right stick to adjust height, the stick has no grooves or anything so it's not possible to have absolutely zero rotation, so for best results it's probably best to adjust height as little and as slowly as possible.
even with a slight misaligned version of this, its still far superior to what I had before. I have over 120 hours with my old bike. I'm not going to lose any sleep over getting it perfect. I'm a happy camper. THANK YOU, you're the goat!
What a lifesaver, took me like three attempts but finally not tilting anymore, added a Farosh's scale to the front of the handles to never lose sight of it/not let it despawn and it kinda looks like it's a windshield, it does apply a little weight to the front, but doesn't tilt it really, you just gotta center it and ride it above for better control. Best hover bike build imho.
Update: Yeah... Don't drive it with a dragon part attached to it, can become awkward sometimes, just put a dragon part on dismount if you don't want it despawning on you, then take it back to inventory for a smooth driving
Love the video man. Took me three tries but my hoverbike feels perfectly aligned. If it's off its not by much. The only thing that threw me off is I switched my buttons for sprinting and jumping. Once i figured that out it was easy.
I tried to make one of these in the depths and I was surprised at how many times it flew crooked even though it looked straight. Such a simple device, but so easy to get it wrong.
I really enjoy the idea that you used the ultra hand Feature. That link can put lift move anything to object he is standing on even when not connected anymore
First time ever building this bike. When I attached the steering to the first wheel, the steering control tipped it over. I tried continuing anyway and finished the bike. IT STILL DRIVES STRAIGHT!! Even after a mistake like mine! This video is that good at making the perfect bike. Even with my clumsiness. 😅
damn, that's actually pretty big brain! i managed to build mine with motion controls enabled and it goes straight, but i think i'm gonna re-do this and overwrite my auto build cuz my one probably isn't compleeeetely perfect, like very good and goes very straight but yours is literally mathematically perfectly centred where mine is still just a very close approximation. gg on figuring out a literal perfect method!
Thanks for this. My air bike still doesn’t exactly fly straight, but compared to the previous auto build, that one was a left leaner that I got used to.
By the way, the tell tale dead giveaway that it's not aligned is when you're flying leaning forward. Look underneath your fans in the center, there's this zonai symbol that looks like the lower letter case i. My rear one is facing slightly to the left.
I watched this tut a month ago when I first started playing and thought it was far too meticulous. I'm coming back to it after screwing up the air bike several times and now really need something that just works lol
God, it took me so long to do this without the video, wish I had this video earlier. That being said, I still think my hoverbike is imperfect, gonna check on this right away

My best method has been leaning the bike against a wall and the trying my best to line the scale up with the center of the steering stick by eyeballing it, then testing it in flight, and then to keep re-trying until I achieve perfect alignment in flight again. Once you do the scale can be made out of Zonaite, adding 3 to the cost of making it, and it'll still retain the properties of being a dragon scale, including making your bike stay spawned in up to 2000 meters away! Here's the video where I learned that cool trick: th-cam.com/video/BF2cP0rkOfU/w-d-xo.html
Darn, that's crazy
You can also use brightblooms as they have a huge despawn distance, are plentiful and if you whack one on the front, act like headlights in the depths/ night but obvs can redistribute weight at little
This vid definitely is the best set of instructions I've seen so far. I used 2 profiles on my 8BitDo controller to try and get this perfect, one setting the triggers to up and down on the right stick so I could lift and lower the pieces with no chance of horizontal movement, and one with the D-pad set to the left stick so I could go up to the stack and jump off it perfectly. And yet, even with all this, it doesn't fly *perfectly*. It drifts left after a while. It's still probably slightly better than my previous autobuild favorite, which I used a stake to build, but I just wish so bad this could be made with no variance. Still, best I've seen, so thumbs up from me. Thanks!
I’ve been using this bike exclusively for dozens of hours - I don’t know what prompted me to even watch this but MAN did you just blow my mind by reminding me I can turn off motion controls. Wish I did it 100 hours ago.
I was able to eliminate all rotation at neutral stick by aligning the fans so the front emblems point at each other (as in the little gold line sticking out of the circle). The 45° offset consistently yielded a very small rotational drift for me (though it was minimal and very consistent)
Dude, I've already left a comment, but i just had to come back after having actually used your technique, and bro... It's legit. Absolutely legit. Good job, man
Thanks!
THANK YOU!! I did the process about seven times, and got the last one with only a 1 or 2 percent drift to the left. So good. I fly this thing everywhere now, including loading up Koroks on the front to help them find their friend 😁👍🏼 Love the almost perfect vertical takeoff. Navigating the map is much less of a grind now. Thanks again 🌄
Thanks for liking it !!!
@@NoHypothesis You're welcome!
Unreal. Your method is the only one that worked for me. It took me about 6-8 attempts because the stick’s weight would usually topple over once I attached it to the fan. It finally stayed in place on my last attempt and now I have finally a hover bike that flies straight
Glad to help!
Obbels’ rating: 10/10 (Subjective)
“No silly extras thing, just straight to and the point.”
After several attempts, I finally got one right. And here I was thinking that the hoverbike that I've been using for the majority of my 400-hr playthrough was more than okay, only to be surprised by how much better at flying straight the new one that I made with your method is. The new one still arcs ever so slightly but it's only noticeable when viewing the flight path in hero's path mode. So, thank you!
Probably the best video I've seen on hoverbikes!
Ok, pal. I have played this game for like 250 hours with a hoverbike that pulls to the left.
I can't believe how great this worked.
Thank you very much. You are the best.
I wish someone could create a machine that could go as fast and smooth as the master cycle from the last game
Holy crap after about 6 attempts I got a 100% perfect hover bike that lays flat! At least I think it’s 100% straight cause if it is tilting it’s unnoticeable. Thanks for this tutorial!
Glad you liked it!
I was struggling with attaching the steering stick at first but I learned that if the fan on top falls you can just recall it and grab it again, resetting it so it isn't tilted or slanted. Other than that slight hiccup it's amazing and flies perfectly straight!
I tried this method about 4 times, and each of them it left me turning just a little bit farther left than I could ignore, but on the fifth try it now leaves me with a hover bike that drives nearly perfectly straight. After extensive testing it goes just the littlest bit to the right, but it’s minor enough that I’m finally unbothered by it. Thanks for the tutorial.
Holy mother of Christ, this took me an embarrassing number of attempts to get it right. But it handles like a dream. Thanks man!
Stellar video! Only suggestion I have is to build facing West so your autobuild creation will be facing directly in front of Link when constructing it.
In my experience, Auto build direction is based on where link is compared to the construction when you connect things, not compass direction.
@@evanis012can confirm
@@evanis012 I think that's what he meant, but I only understood it after reading your comment lol
This is probably the most helpful youtube video I’ve ever watched
Thanks so much for this tutorial, this did wonders for me! My hoverbike flies perfectly straight now. However, I was wondering if you have an extension to this process to align a dragon part so that the bike doesn't despawn
Wait what..? I didn’t even know this feature exists lol! I’ll look into it and see what I can do
@@NoHypothesis Also for the fact, you need to upgrade your Energy Cell to all blue. That way it will last 3 minutes and 28 seconds per flight +20 seconds when you add 1 Large Zonai Charge at a time as soon as your energy bars are almost empty.
@@jacosyutin3885 Interesting... Personally I find the surface and sky more interesting to roam so I only fight the coliseum every blood moon for 100 crystal charges, so my energy cell upgrade is going steady but slow!
The dragon part doesn't need to be exact like this
What about using a brightbloom? It's a lot lighter, affects your flight less, still extends the despawn range, and also lights up the depths.
i spent hours trying to fix the slight tilt my bike ALWAYS had, I'm not messing with it again but this is genious, i wish I'd found the video sooner :")
nice, will remember this for playthrough 2. what I did with mine was attached a zonai shield to the bottom, opposite side of the lean. this balanced it out so it flew straight perfectly, but always cost 3 zonaite to craft.
somehow made it work from random parts on an island above tarrey town, its beautiful seeing it go so straight after trying to create other ways on my own lol thank you so much!!!!
You are a God amongst men. Thank you for this extremely easy to understand and copy set of steps and breaking down the easiest way possible to make this! I've been running around with a bike that likes to fight me more than stay in the air.
Best guide so far, tried a bunch before, made only gray hair, with this one perfect with 2nd try it's important to follow step by step exactly like in the guide
While I managed to make my own pretty well-balanced, this method seems far better than mine. Will be sure to give this a go.
this is actually so much better than what I've been using for like 200 hours lol, the first iteration was a tiny bit off, but then I remembered I owned a fake pro-controller whose control sticks snap to the 4 directions, and it flys super straight, thank you
Glad it helps!
I managed to get a basically perfect alignment on my first attempt, but I used a stake so I had to add a dragon scale to save to autobuild correctly (not that I want to save it without that, since it extends the despawn range massively for a few zonaite).
Might try this method later, and see how it compares.
Does the Dragon affect the handling or weight distribution what so ever?
Alternatively you could add a rocket to the side to save one that doesn't alter your weight distribution. With one template tilting 45 degrees forward for plains and one straight upwards if you are facing obstacle. It also helps a lot on take off while carrying yahaha or shrine stone.
@@Olifox99 I don't know; I'll have to test it without the scale.
@olifox2080 a tiny bit but to me it being slightly slower is totally worth it not despawning as often
@@Olifox99 just tested that all dragon parts have heavy weight and will tilt your hoverbike if not placed on the center. Alternatively you could throw a (giant) brightbroom seed on the bike when you make a new one. Apparently brightbroom seed has no weight at all and has quite a long despawn distance, as it was meant to light up underground with bow from a far. The glow also stands out when it bounced away.
Thank you! This has helped IMMENSELY and now I can finally go the places I've been trying to go
Cool video, I think the physics changed in an update as the step you attach the steering stick on the 45 angle the fan always falls backwards.
I ended up using recall after mine fell forward, then once it was back in place grabbed it with ultrahand and the rest worked perfectly
@@tetrisman01 Same
I've noticed that and I'm so bummed you could attach it on whatever Ludacris and go and forget about gravity n shiz
Mine fell backwards also after doing the rotation of one of the fans as shown in this video, but if you don't rotate either fan then it won't fall backwards.
The TOTK hoverbike is a staple icon of the game at this point.
Great video. Mine has always had a slight right pull. I thought this was from both fans spinning clockwise, causing the ride to lean as it flies.
Attach a dragon scale to the left side and itll stop leaning, and has a despawn distance of 2000 meters to boot.
That's so smart
Amazing, it worked. No mods. It took me 4 attempts to get the sequence right. Follow the instructions precisely and you can do it too,
Important tip. He builds it with no gear equipped. My first one was way off because I believe the gear makes Link backward flip off center. Take off your gear before building this.
Now my air bike is totally straight.
Thanks man.
I did not know having no gear made a difference. Thank for the tip!
@@NoHypothesis Well I don't know that for sure. The first one I built went off center and my backflip was askew so I figured that was the reason. I wasn't sure why my backflip messed up. Then I noticed you did the build with no gear.
I could be totally wrong about the gear and I just messed up the backflip with bad joystick control's.
Hey. Thanks! Very clear instructions but i still kept messing it up😊. Finally got it and works great
Glad to help!
@NoHypothesis just curious about the reasoning for rotating one fan or was it just trial and error?
Thank goodness for this! I spent forEVER on my bike, and it looks perfectly straight too, but it still drifts ever so slightly. This is a lifesaver
Glad to help!
I used a stake to keep mine level, but it still pulls very slightly to the right. Might try this and see if it is better.
Also, good add ons for the bike. A giant light seed makes exploring the depths easy, and a dragon scale will stop the bike from despawning.
There's a lot of ways to lose the dragon scale though so only use it if you don't mind losing it on the off chance, way more so in the depths than above ground. If you accidentally bump it on something it can get destroyed, miniboss enemies will immediately destroy zonai devices along with the scale too, you have to leave it in a safe spot, Frox will suck up devices from a stupid distance away
You have to start using it with keeping the scale in mind, which after a certain point becomes less fun once you can start killing things in a single bullet time by jumping off the bike.
@@Game2590 It is most useful on the overworld. I usually keep the scale in my inventory, and slap it on when I park the bike somewhere. Usually at a cave entrance.
Also yeah, I've had a Frox eat my bike before... that was a pain. Especially since it was my light source.
FINALLY I stumbled upon a tutorial about this, now it’s time to max the battery out and enjoy endless depths exploring. Thank you!
Glad to help! Thank you for watching !
If you have the arrows pointed at each other. It'll be a lot faster.
The front fan pointed towards the back fan, and the back fan pointed towards the front fan.
But I could never aligned it properly until now.
do you have any proof of that?
I just tried it and it worked 100%. I can't be more grateful. Ive played 100 hrs and always with a non aligned one.
The one I eventually made with a different method was as straight as I could get it. If I let it fly it will do a extremely large circle when nothing it touching the controls. I think Nintendo needs to add another button for the ultrahand to specify alignment with another part. It would solve so many alignment issues.
Took me forever to get my bike perfect. Glad there’s an easy step by step video for it now
Great video buddy! I was looking for a tutorial on this and you happened to bless my feed. Keep the awesome content coming!
Thanks for a no-nonsense, straightforward tutorial!
no!
my bike is slightly misaligned so i'll have to use this to make a new one at some point lol
Nice! I just can’t stand my bike shifting to one side every time lol
Oh, you got it down to a process. I just held the rotation button used the arrows to align pixel perfect. Bravo 👏
Tried that myself and got the one at the beginning of the video lol ! My bad coordination..
Pro strats
I just put the control stick on the center of a small wood board, then use the snap points on the board to do things really easily. You end up with straight, perfectly level flight.
Much more user friendly and doesnt require a step by step finicky tutorial. 😅
no such thing as a small wood board
That’s so cool. I like you make each movement very precise.
Thanks for enjoying it !!
With the manufacturing time I'm done, in the end I'll be bored without wanting to play" oh by the way if you put 2 luminous flowers on this vehicle, one in front and one behind, you can walk all over the basement without lack of light
First time I’ve seen someone call the depths the basement lol
The basement 😂
@@grimsaber9284the basement LOL
Are the sky islands 'the attic' then?
Adding another thank you! Saving this bike in my autobuild has made the game much more fun and much less frustrating, super appreciate it :-)
Thanks for enjoying it!!
Great video! Though my ever so slightly wonky hover bike reminds me of my first car. It's gotten me through so much I'm not sure I can give it up :(
Yeah, mine veers to the left, but I love it.
Break the cycle of abuse. Set yourself free... Seriously. This one can even go slightly down in altitude
It works! Could never figure out how to eliminate all drift. Excellent process design!
Me trying to do this with joy con drift 😫
thank you so much, i managed to get my bike like 95% aligned to where it was manageable but man this is gonna be so useful
Lol at 0:18 “turn off motion controls” never had em on😂😂
I finally tried this last week to rebuild the hover bike and with motion disabled and carefully moving it worked and so far it's flying straight. This helps alot in the depths when going places to places.
I have never had a children's game bully me this much
I put a low gravity rail from right leg depot under it. Not only does it completely stabilize, but it also gives u insanely small steering radius
This is too much work. I think you are OVER THINKING IT.
I used this build in my 1st play thru and I really needed it again in my 2nd. That's for the help this really makes a difference
Glad I could help!
This guide unlike lots others actually worked! Which is saying something because alot of other guides have bad instruction or barely any tips so this really helped!
Thanks! glad to help!
followed this, and the result is definitely straighter than my former build, I also like the clockwise rotation, it results in the bike being balanced when landed. It's still not perfect, but I think that's because when we use the right stick to adjust height, the stick has no grooves or anything so it's not possible to have absolutely zero rotation, so for best results it's probably best to adjust height as little and as slowly as possible.
Thank you so much for this. I've tried other methods so many times. This one here? Got it on my second try. Now she's flying like a dream.
even with a slight misaligned version of this, its still far superior to what I had before. I have over 120 hours with my old bike. I'm not going to lose any sleep over getting it perfect. I'm a happy camper. THANK YOU, you're the goat!
Thanks for watching!
No matter how many tutorial I watch, my hoverbike will always lean to the right
What a lifesaver, took me like three attempts but finally not tilting anymore, added a Farosh's scale to the front of the handles to never lose sight of it/not let it despawn and it kinda looks like it's a windshield, it does apply a little weight to the front, but doesn't tilt it really, you just gotta center it and ride it above for better control. Best hover bike build imho.
Update: Yeah... Don't drive it with a dragon part attached to it, can become awkward sometimes, just put a dragon part on dismount if you don't want it despawning on you, then take it back to inventory for a smooth driving
I kept stuffing up one of the steps slightly, but once i worked out what i was doing wrong,it worked like a charm. Thank you!
The perfect tutorial. Worked first time. THANK YOU. My last hover bike always leaned right haha.
Glad it helped!
That actually worked pretty well! Tried it now and it’s the Hover Bike with the best build quality ever! Thank you
Great to hear!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS
I was having a ton of trouble getting my bike to fly straight, and this helped immensely, thank you so much
Glad to help!
Thank you!! This is so much less fiddly and frustrating than the other methods I had tried and works great!
Glad it helped!
Love the video man. Took me three tries but my hoverbike feels perfectly aligned. If it's off its not by much.
The only thing that threw me off is I switched my buttons for sprinting and jumping. Once i figured that out it was easy.
Thanks for liking it! Yeah it’s my first video so I didn’t really consider button layout switches 😥
I tried to make one of these in the depths and I was surprised at how many times it flew crooked even though it looked straight. Such a simple device, but so easy to get it wrong.
Thank you. Very helpful. Watched another video on this and couldn't follow along. Simple and pretty straightforward.
Glad I could help!
I really enjoy the idea that you used the ultra hand Feature. That link can put lift move anything to object he is standing on even when not connected anymore
The very first one I built was perfectly balanced. I did not have the power to save it yet and could never build it again, until now. Thank you
First time ever building this bike. When I attached the steering to the first wheel, the steering control tipped it over. I tried continuing anyway and finished the bike. IT STILL DRIVES STRAIGHT!! Even after a mistake like mine! This video is that good at making the perfect bike. Even with my clumsiness. 😅
damn, that's actually pretty big brain! i managed to build mine with motion controls enabled and it goes straight, but i think i'm gonna re-do this and overwrite my auto build cuz my one probably isn't compleeeetely perfect, like very good and goes very straight but yours is literally mathematically perfectly centred where mine is still just a very close approximation. gg on figuring out a literal perfect method!
Thanks for this. My air bike still doesn’t exactly fly straight, but compared to the previous auto build, that one was a left leaner that I got used to.
By the way, the tell tale dead giveaway that it's not aligned is when you're flying leaning forward. Look underneath your fans in the center, there's this zonai symbol that looks like the lower letter case i. My rear one is facing slightly to the left.
I watched this tut a month ago when I first started playing and thought it was far too meticulous. I'm coming back to it after screwing up the air bike several times and now really need something that just works lol
Welcome back lol
You're a lifesaver man. I felt like a guy who loves-hates his car but isn't able to change it because he can't afford to.
Came over to give you the love you deserve for this. Thank you.
Thanks so much !!!
dude this is perfection! watched so many vids and messed about myself trying to get this right, your vid is the ultimate how to guide 10/10
God, it took me so long to do this without the video, wish I had this video earlier. That being said, I still think my hoverbike is imperfect, gonna check on this right away
This is great! Very easy, instructions were clear and easy to follow. Thanks for this!
Glad to help!
