Planetary Yaw

Yet another fly-by-wire control in-game script for SE!

It's a little bit like a stripped-down version of Full Control that doesn't consider thrusters.

This one does not, in fact, attempt to realign the vessel at all. Oh, no.
All it does is intercept steering commands and redirects left and right
yaw rotation around the local gravity vector instead of the local Y axis.

When you fly ships on a planet in SE, are you constantly finding yourself rolled sideways?
This script makes it a little bit less annoying. You won't find yourself going sideways *quite* so much and the controls should feel more natural if you've ever played most other flying games.

To make it start controlling the ship, use the "go" command.

It lets you do whatever you want with the ship. Hey it even handles being upside down.

HOWEVER roll will still accumulate for various reasons, which I hope to address as I am able, presently this is the best I have. Still better, imho, more natural feeling than the built-in ship steering behavior, which you are more than welcome to enjoy. Just use the "stop" command. Shutting off the PB without stopping the script using the command will leave your gyros overridden and non-responsive, so don't do that.

If you setup a text panel called "debug" you can see it explain a few vectors, for now.

If you *really* cannot abide roll, see my other script Leveller!
