[1.8.1 - 1.10.1] HopperGuidance v0.2.3

New release version 0.2.3.

This version is a major improvement. See the video I had a lot of fun making below. Now works much better in the base game and with Realism Overhaul. The major change is the picking of intermediate targets above ground which means you can now define a full trajectory to fly under bridge, simulate an SN5 hop or land a falcon 9 booster (the later two in Realism Overhaul). Its computes better trajectories faster and more reliably and now works well on other planets with different gravity from Kerbin/Earth.

- Added ability to pick multiple intermediate targets
- Removed latitude, longitude and altitude target (set target via pick target only)
- Removed max landing thrust angle, it is set to 10% of max thrust angle
- Removed acceleration gain, it is set to 4x correction factor
- Removed idle angle, it is now always 90 degrees
- Removed max thrust, this is set to 90% of the vessels maximum
- Max thrust angle in the solution is 80% of max thrust angle (allowing 20% extra for corrections)
- Min descent angle only applies to the final trajectory before the final target and not to intermediate targets
- Ground intersect constraint always applies where the ground is the lowest of all the ground targets
- The solution velocity isn't modified by the PID, which results in better following of the trajectory
- Switch to using mesh rather than LineRenderer for track and thrust vectors as transformations work better
- Golden search over time now falls back to simpler search stepping through 10 intervals between Tmin and Tmax then continues golden search, as golden search fails when probe points are non-solutions. This results in much better and faster solutions
- Fixed disappearing track bug when active for a long time

Download v0.2.3 from https://github.com/oyster-catcher/HopperGuidance

Install by unpacking HopperGuidance-v0.2.3.zip into your KSP GameData folder.

NOTE: Second thread about this mod in order to fix up the wrong versioning convention in the title which caused some confusion. Sorry about that.
