Sure! I've uploaded it so people could use it on their creation :-)) :steamhappy:

If you put your X-Y coordinates it should hold your position. Tell me if you have problems!

This is brilliant- ive installed it on a large salvage boat and it works grand!
is there anyway to make it auto hold position? eg- turn the system on and it holds the boats current gps and bearing?
thanks very much!
p.s when i upload my ship is credit + a link too here ok?

Thanks! I've added you so we can communicate further :)

Thanks for the advice, I didn't notice the symmetry problem, I'll try to fix it and update it :-)

And sure, I can help you (or at least try to)!!! :-))

By the way: Considering how great this turned out, could I humbly request a little help with a winch LUA setup? Only if you have the time and want to do it :)

Before I go on, I just want to inform anyone reading this that the example has azimuth thrusters that were placed using symmetry, which doesn't work. Azimuths works, but has to be placed down manually, otherwise it will not work even though the arrows point the right way. That is all.

Thank you a thousand times for this! Having LUA really improves this already super DP system, and it looks great! Much love! <3

I didn't explain myself very well, English is not my first language sorry: the wind speed sensor is used to warn that in certain conditions the DPS may not work as it should and that therefore it may be difficult to keep the ship stable due to the strong waves.

Why would you use a windsensor to determine if the (gps based) position hold is working or not?
