(SFCS) Simplified Flight Controls Script v2

This script aims to lessen the work load of the pilot by providing intuitive controls and a light degree of automation. In this latest update, pilot awareness is improved by providing support for WeaponCore, Water Mod, and Whip's Radar Script. Redundant or complicated features of the script were also removed to provide a more streamlined setup experience.

- Deploy airbrakes using SPACE or S key
- Auto Throttle and Cruise Mode
- Standard Indicators (Targeting, Altitude Warning, Missile Alert)
- Custom Indicators

1. In the ship, you should have at least 1 of the following:
- Seat (controller, not passenger types)
- A gyro
Optionally, you can have the following:
- Sound blocks with "SFCS" in the name
- Screen with "SFCS" in the name
- Subgrid forward thrusters with "SFCS" in the name
2. Add this script. That's it for the base setup. For settings and toggles, please see their sections.

Sound Settings

The default sounds of this script is from Consty's awesome mod [CAP] Consty's Aircraft Pack (Now with wings!):

Display
Values are using RGB (red, green, blue) and an opacity value Alpha. For example, a full green color would be 0,255,0,255.


Airbrakes
When using modded airbrakes such as ones from Consty's and Randa's aircraft packs, you can press Space or S (when configured) to apply airbrakes. For modders, as long as the type is IAdvancedDoor and has "brake" in its subtypeid, this script will detect those blocks.

Auto throttle
After holding W for "Auto-throttle activation time (s)" seconds, the script will hold throttle until "Auto-throttle speed (m/s)" is met when not in cruise mode, or the current speed when in cruise mode. Pressing Space or S will cancel auto-throttle.

Cruise
Cruise mode can be changed by running the commands "toggle_cruise", "cruise_on", and "cruise_off". During cruise mode, a standard status will be highlighted in the LCD and the script will maintain the altitude and keep the ship level. For turning, A and D keys must be used. Rolling or moving the mouse will cancel cruise mode.

Auto-Cruise
In MP, when you get disconnected, there is a big chance that your plane will be lost. Auto-cruise aims to reduce the probability of this happening by automatically entering the ship into cruise mode when "Auto-cruise trigger time (s)", "Auto-cruise trigger altitude (m)", and "Auto-cruise trigger speed (m/s)" are met. Rolling or moving the mouse will cancel auto-cruise mode.

Low Fly Mode
Low fly mode can be used when landing. It can be changed by running the commands "toggle_low_flight", "low_flight_on", and "low_flight_off". When in Low Fly Mode, low and critical altitude warning will not occur but a caution warning is played when below 100 meters and falling faster than 10m/s.

Standard Indicators
The script has built-in indicators (with display and/or sounds) for the following:
- Low and critical altitude
- Missile launch and missile critical (WeaponCore)
- Auto-throttle, Cruise Mode, and Low Fly display

Custom Indicators (aka Toggles)

The way toggles are created mostly stayed the same. To add a custom status, you must add the blocks to a group and name the group with the following format:

SFCS_<TYPE>_<TAG>:<CONDITION>

Example:

SFCS_VEL_L GEAR:-12
SFCS_FUNC_LIGHTS:True
SFCS_WRK_R ENG:False

TYPE can be any of the following:
VEL - On if one of the blocks in the group has velocity equal to condition (number).
FUNC - On if one of the blocks in the group has functional status is equal to condition (True/False).
WRK - On if one of the blocks in the group has working (ON and functional) status is equal to condition (True/False).


I would like to thank those who gave feedback on the script especially Alex for giving some really nice feature requests, Whiplash141 for sharing the scripts I used as reference and on some of the utility functions in the code, Consty and Randa for the awesome plane mods and Dark for letting me experiment as much as I want on mods in Dygamic :D.
