Plane Pilot

First: This is designed for a special usecase. You can use it, but dont cry if it works more for my usecase then for yours. (in default setup it is designed to work with the Advanced Fly Module, read the description for more informations)

Second: This is a fakemod, i am not using gyros to turn into targetdirection, i am using just a force. The strength of this force calculated by number of std gyros. For my usecase this is enough.

This Mod add a new Remote Control block for Small and Large Planes. Planes have forward thrust and aerodynamic wings (use "Plane Parts"). Is mostly designe to us it for Pirate drones. It has impact to the SimSpeed, but not as much, try to use turrets and you will see that the turrets have more impact to the SimSpeed.
Also i add a fake connector to connect drones at structure, with this i can copy and paste many drones as ones, this works also with blueprints. In the adminversion of this mod this connector block is invisible.

In short:
The remote control looks into the direction wehre the target is. You have to manage the thruster for your self.
Designed to get faster and more interesting enemies (pirate faction).

In long:
The Plane Pilot is an Autopliot for Planes. I added some buttons and sliders to the bottom of the remote control menue.
!! dont activate default AutoPilot !! while using the Plane Pilot.
You can use GPS marks, you can use scripts for pirate drones like in the default AutoPilot.
You can setup the Fly Mode with the default switch (thats the only button they are used from default buttons)
For all other settings scoll down to find on/off and slider.
Dont try to land a plane with activated Collision Avoidance.

Settings:
Flight Mode: Patrol/Circle/One Way | the default setting, default behavior
GPS Locations and Waypoint: Use it like default
Plane Pilot On/Off: On/Off
Plane Pilot Collision Avoidance: On/Off. The Coll. Avoidance is special designed for the Plane usecase. It detects other stuff arround/before you, like planes and voxels, and it tries to prevent collisions.
Plane Pilot align to gravity (Roll only): On/Off. Roll the ship to have bottom side down. (for my usecases i use the Advanced Fly Module, i added this feature just for you)
Plane Pilot fly low: On/Off, use it only for small planes, it tries to fly in low altitude to the target, also if the target is at higher alt (just cool)
CA min height: the min fly height for the plane, sometimes the plane is flying lower, this value is to define ranges for collision checks
CA flightcorridor radius: Also a value for collision checks, the CA checks a cylinder in front of the plane with this radius, if something in this corridor the CA tries to change target direction to get a clean corridor
Waypoint threshold distance: if you are closer than this value, switch to next target, has no effect if you use "One Way"

Special cases:
- To prevent the plane from flying in circels arrount the target GPS and dont switch to the next GPS because threshold is not reached, the Plane Pilot checked the distance and switched to the next if needed, also if the threshold is not reached.
- it works for large ships, but its less dynamic because the ships are less dynamic
- for my normal use cases i use small fighters
- for a large flying fortress i dont activate collision avoidance
- if you see red lines, this means that the path for the voxel collision avoidance hit the own grid, copy and paste the ship to fix this. in this mod i test a automatic startpointcalculation for the path while init the block, if you set blocks after init, you have to re-init (copy and paste or remove and set the Plane Pilot again)

Have fun, if you have questions please ask me.
If you are faster than me and you create a world with drones they use this pilot, please tell me, thx.

I have uploaded a copy from this mod where the blocks are not available at the g-menue: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1697665843
