Thrust Limiter

Some sort of bug prevent ascent from going straight up. Things start out ok, but eventually it goes way off vertical. Also, on some (admittedly not vanilla) worlds, TL declares itself outside gravity WAY before it P-Gravity is actually 0. It still works fine for thrust limiting, though. I haven't found another script that beats it in that respect. 4/3/2025

1: You need settings to choose which lcds to display stats on. Believe it or not, people use their main cockpit lcd for other things than your stats.
2: In freeflight, there should to be a way to change what speed the vehicle is limited to, and not just 100m/s all the time.

How about a 'cruise' mode, where backwards thrusters are disabled? I have multiple kinds of thrusters in different groups, so the on/off toggling leads to some unexpected combinations.

And I just figured out why TL "wasn't working" on a number of my ships - I had taken to using the remote control all the time so that I only ever had one shortcut bar to maintain. I've melted two ships so far though, so I guess i'll go back to NOT using this trick.

@BloodAngel099 it will use whatever thrusters are active and knows how much thrust they generate the whole time. Atmo thrusters will stop generating thrust as they approach the threshold so this script will push up the contribution from the H2/Ion thrusters automatically.
To answer the question though - it won't favour any type of thruster over another, it just looks at how much they are pushing.

When using the Accend is it possible to have it prioritize use of electric thrusters over hydrogen?

So, I think you mean 'Thrust Limiter'? I only noticed because I subscribed and then searched locally for 'thrust' and couldn't find it. Either way, thanks for this script.
