aveBrian's RotorMountedWheelsScript

This is more of a proof of concept than anything useful I feel, but I could be wrong.

This script makes wheels on rotors behave more like wheels on Wheel Suspensions by controlling them the way you would drive any normal ground vehicle. Think tank controls.

Turning right will push the wheels on the right side of the grid forward and the wheels of on the left side of the grid backwards. Of course the amount of power provided to each “track” of wheels is on either side at any given time is, as best I can tell so far, properly controlled depending on relative speed and other considerations.
There may very well be room for improvement and I look forward to feedback on this subject in particular.

Installation instructions
=============================================================================
1. Build a grid with wheels attached to rotors instead of suspensions.

2. Add some kind of ship controller. Could be a cockpit, remote control, or just a passenger seat.

3.a: If you have more than one ship controller, you will need to take control of the one you want to use to drive and recompile the script. This will only need to be done once to let the script know which controller to use for input.

3. Add this script, recompile, and you're done.
=============================================================================

If you want to change anything on the grid, such as the controller or rotors, just recompile the script afterwards to take your changes into account.

Control Acceleration and Braking force by adjusting the Torque settings on the rotors themselves but leave the Braking Torque at zero.

You can set the MaxRPM from within the script itself at the top.

One fun thing, is that this script can take input directly from the passenger seat. This means you don't have to take control of a remote control block. Just take a seat, and drive :)
