Description
This is a simple easy to use Roll stabilizer module for almost any aircraft you have. It works using a PID controller so if you want to make adjustments you can easily go in and make tweaks to the logic. Like a standard roll stabilizer it has an input and output for aileron controls, an activation switch, and an input for a tilt sensor. But i also added an output that will execute a short pulse when it is disengaged to alert the user that the system has been disengaged. This is to make it easier if you are using it with other autopilot systems that also have a disengagement alarm. Finally it also has an output signal telling you if the system is activated.

Adaptive Mode
This particular version is equipped with the special Adaptive mode, which will allow you to still control the aircraft while maintaining roll stability. You can still control the aircraft rolling, but it limits agressive movements and will return to the neutral (or flat) position if you let up on the input. This makes it much more ideal to control because you are still in control of the aircraft at all times. It only functions if the actual "Roll Stabilizer" input is engaged, AND the "adaptive mode" input is also engaged.
The normal version functions exactly like this (except without this feature) and can be found here:

Usage Tips
This system works best for small to medium aircraft, with the default parameters that i had set on the PID. However if you re tune it it will work for really any size of aircraft. I suggest not to use it if you have a lot of control surfaces or on very small and/or lightweight aircraft. When using the Adaptive mode these issues are less of a concern, as you are more in control of the aircraft.

Fair Use
Please credit this in the description of any aircraft you use on. My reupload policty is different on eveything depending on how much work i put in, so please make sure to check the specific workshop page for details! Thank you

IMPORTANT:
MAKE SURE you connect the on switch to a PUSH BUTTON only
MAKE SURE the arrow on your tilt sensor is facing left to right (or vice versa)

Is it at all possible to make one for the pitch as well? but very nice microbit

There is logic you could use to get around it but I haven't even played the game in years so I'm not about to figure htat out
katstel  [author] 1 Jul, 2023 @ 2:49pm 
it's probably with the tuning on the PID controller, I just really don't have time to go in and figure it out. It's also an extremely old item and things in this game tend to break with age. I should have made a slider to turn up the sensitivity but my lazy ass didn;t. Sorry I couldn't help

Hi, when its active, it functions to a degree but the plane is always a bit tilted to the right/left and isnt level. How would I fix this?

sounds good

sorry to bother you again, but the stabilizer isn't functioning
it's not doing anything to the ailerons, and i have inf. electricity turned on
i also have it connected with logic, could i possibly send some pictures to you through your discord?

This is nice. I had to invert it, but it can work.
I have to tweak it to handle my dual jet though, but it should be able to work even at full throttle.

oh thank you
i had it facing up

make sure the arrow on the tilt sensor is facing left to right (or vice versa), otherwise ensure your control surfaces are connected correctly (they should still be operable even with the microcontroller disconnected). Try inverting one of the connection(s) to the control surfaces. Verify that they are not turning in the wrong directions when the autopilot is on. If this doesn't work, most likely a game update has broke it because it has been extensively tested and should work fine.

for me it just flies sideways, i tried inverting the tilt sensor but it doesn't work
