Mod to dampen control surfaces while in atmo?

I thought for sure I saw somewhere a mod that would gradually increase the range of control surfaces (and gimbals) in order to reduce the SAS-fighting that goes on with the new atmo. Now, however, I can't find it. Does anyone know of a mod like this?

Dynamic Deflection varies the angle of control surfaces depending on 'stuff'

The control authority a plane needs from it's control surfaces may vary over the length of a flight. At low altitude or high speed, the deflection we have may be too high causing excessive G loadings, but we can't reduce it because at higher altitudes we need all of that deflection to keep the nose pointing forwards. Currently, the tools we have for this problem focus on changing input scale (fine control, FAR's dynamic control authority (DCA) helper, etc.) which isn't always what is needed.

Dynamic Deflection approaches this from a different direction, altering the maximum deflection individual control surfaces can use according to the current dynamic pressure. This deflection scaling can be different for each set of control surfaces (so you can set ailerons to scale differently to elevators, etc.).

NOTE: This fixes SAS wobble with much lower complexity than PID tuning and without permanently compromising control output

NOTE2: To open the window, mouse over a control surface and press 'K'
