[1.12.5] janellie's Gimbal Trim - Manual thrust vectoring

[janellie82]

janellie's GimbalTrim

A small KSP mod that allows the player to manually adjust an engine's gimbal.

Requires ModuleManager

Some notes:

• Pilot input and SAS can't control the engine's gimbal while trim is active.
• Gimbal trim is limited by the engine's gimbal range as given in the engine's config file, but limiting the vectoring range in-game doesn't affect trim, only SAS/pilot input.
• Trim can only be used if the vessel is under full control (i.e. has a pilot onboard or has a connection to KSC).

to differentiate from zer0kerbal's mod of the same name

Thank you for this !  

Does that mean I could eventually map the X and Y gimbal axis to action groups incremental controls ?

Peace

New release:

1.1.0 - Gimbal X and Gimbal Y now respond correctly to action group axes and KAL controllers

With the latest patch, yes.

What would be the practical use case of this?

You can set up a KAL controller or kOS script to smoothly move the gimbal as the CoM moves in a space shuttle, for example.
