Cool Re: Perfect Thruster Stability Hovering - NO RANGER!!

Nice work, interesting thought process.

Just for the sake of adding alternatives heres a simple alternative:

Code:
N@Perfectly Stable
I@On Pitch DesiredPitch
O@OutPitch
Outpitch = (On ? (Pitch + ($ Pitch * 3)) + DesiredPitch : 0)
Just need a on/off button, gyroscope, and value for desired pitch (optional, could leave it at 0)

FYI: You would do the same thing with the roll.

You asked what "first()" does, that page explains it plus what the rest of the expression chip does. It you plan to ever use the expression chip, that page is a HUGE help.

Is there any chance of you making a version specifically for a ship, for use on spacebuild?

When I use the expression in the first post I get "Expected variable near delta ($) on line 2".
