What to do with the avionics package.


Recommended Posts

So with the latest update it's clear (I think?) that the old ASAS modules are useless now, as they are redundant with the SAS modules. And, the avionics package is also useless right now because all the pod modules provide SAS capability already, which is all that package does. I think it can still be of some use though. I didn't like the idea of putting reaction wheels in plane cockpits, so I removed that, and I added torque control to the avionics package instead:

(Still playing around with the values but here's where I'm at right now.)

MODULE
{
name = ModuleReactionWheel

PitchTorque = 2.5
YawTorque = 2.5
RollTorque = 2.5

RESOURCE
{
name = ElectricCharge
rate = 0.1
}
}

At low altitudes, you will hardly notice a difference, because the other control surfaces easily overpower torque control anyway, but once you start getting into the thin stuff you will want the avionics package. However it does make putting a reaction wheel in your plane an optional thing, which I think is nice because planes do not typically have reaction wheels.

I'm still playing around with this, so I'm not sure it's such a great idea, but I'm bringing it up in case anybody else wants to give it a shot.
