Zeppelin Controller + Cells (Frostbite)

The gas cell block is the same for small and large grids to avoid having to recalculate physics, so your small grids will probably look like hot air balloons if they stay a reasonable block seat.

The vessel must have one vanilla control seat in it and should be steered from there.

On boats, this will give you heading and take care of pitch and roll for you. On airships, it'll handle filling and emptying the gas cells as well.

If the control system acts up after you've taken damage, simply turn it off and back on quickly so that it can recalculate how many working balloon blocks it's managing.

* If this is a zeppelin, build hydrogen tanks
* If this is a zeppelin, build a hydrogen vent
* If this is a zeppelin, build gas cells
* Build a control seat (large or small grid), run the setup button in its panel. Optionally, put Vessel in its name
* Optionally, build LCD with Vessel in the name
* The main screen on the control seat will automatically load and update
* Turn the vessel controller on by activating the "Preserve aspect ratio" tick box in the flight seat's control panel.

Rather than the settings on the seat, which have proven wonky on a dedicated server, you can now use thrust up and down to fill/empty balloons (whether there are any thrusters or not).


Note that the PID controller for the balloons is now somewhat less precise, to minimize overhead on the server (and to increase realism).

Mod contains zeppelin gas cell (large and small grid), hydrogen vent (large and small grid), and modifications to the control seat.
