RaycastSync could that be just the ground, environmental mash and therefor i stand still by using that option?

Is Cruise 0 and Cruise [0] the same thing? I wanted an option hold a position in the air, without moving into any direction. Is that doable, if so how?
On my current server interial dampeners are complettly deactivated by a mod, does that influence this scripts behaviour?

Is there A way to Exclude Certain Thrusters from the Script?

im having an issue with the script allowing the ship to compensate for subgrids when piloted but, as soon as i leave the cockpit the script stops compensating. is there a way to fix it?

so im testing it compared to a ship with no it using the relative dampers attached to the one that has it and they keep the same distance. did some update broke or render no longer needed it?
