Decrease Control Authority at high speeds.

[TheKurgan]

Hello all,

I have been creating some extremely fast jets, drones and modular missiles lately, and I was thinking that a mod that could decrease the control surface max deflection, or preferably their authority at high speeds would be awesome.

The jets and missiles I have created, some that do almost mach 5 (with ZERO custom parts) , have to have very low authority when doing speeds in excess of mach 1.5, or they explode from g forces when attempting maneuvers... because of this very low authority, they handle like  turds at low speeds. I know in reality you would just use less input, but the AI didn't get the memo...

Does anyone have the expertise to create such a plugin?

My modding skills are definitely not there yet.

Thanks.

 

This Modular Missile peaked at mach 4.98

Is Dynamic Deflection still around?

[TheKurgan]

Hmm... looking at it now. Last update was for 1.3. Going to peek at the source code.

@Nightside Thanks for that tip!

I found a fork from the original repository that was updated for Authority vs deflection, I recompiled it for 1.5.1, and it works good enough for what I want it for.

Cheers!

Mind sharing with the rest of the class?

Here is where I found it:

https://github.com/blackliner/DynamicControls

I don't see any licence in there at all...

Well... I'm sure if I have done somthing wrong, a moderator will jump in  so here it is:

If you're looking for a mod with a listed license Crzyrndm had a mod "Dynamic Deflection" Here:

That was originally GPLv3 but released as public domain here: https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/163707-no-longer-maintaining/

Edit: looks like DynamicControls was forked from Crzyrndm's work

Additional info

[TheKurgan]

@wasml Yes, I checked out the original by Crzyrndm and I didn't see the licence, but later found it. like you said GPLv3. So it's ok to change it, and share it.

Thanks

@TheKurgan Note the second link - When Crzyrndm left they changed the license to public domain - not sure how that impacts revives (allows more freedom to do as you please?)
