As for this one on the 3 sensors:

Gain values are done as properties allowing easy editing in the builder using the "select" tool.
Includes detecing when boat is going in reverse to swap how the fins turn.

Sensors needed:
Linear sensor pointing forward (needed to know when going in reverse)
Tilt looking forward
Tilt looking right

Control surfaces:
Rudder turned horizontal port
Rudder turned horizontal stbd

Thank you so much for your response, That has helped a lot. Will have a nosey at the other one you've kindly linked:steamthumbsup:

Wanted to add one reason for switching to the other stabilizers Ive posted is that the pitch and roll being fed into the same rudder parts can lead to max out situations. For example once highly pitched the rudders no longer have room to adjust for roll. Likewise at step rolls there is no longer room for pitch. At moderate pitch-roll it still works out okay.

IIRC horizontal rudders at stern should have positive on the topside pointing forward.
For pitch rudders IIRC using mirror mode doesnt work right. Best to place them all one at a time.
I've made updated ones that use gyro. If playing Career v1.0 you can use those though if using Classic Career with unlock you might not have it.

Thank you for this. Could I ask though + up or down on the rudders? + up works for roll but not pitch & vice versa. Am I missing something? Thank you in advance
