[OUTDATED] Whip's Pixel Artificial Horizon

• NEW! - Variables are configured in the custom data!
  
• Massive performance gains
  
• You no longer need to name the control seat! If you only want to specify specific controllers, the name tag will still work :)
  
• No timer needed for code operation!
  
• Added variable isEasyStartPlanetWorld since the easy start planets have a different sun rotation axis :/
  
• Code pauses when no one is piloting the ship

Howdy!

This code creates an Artificial Horizon indicator that shows your relative orientation with respect to the ground. The code also displays your current altitude, heading, and speed when in a planet's influence.

When you exit a planet's gravity field, the code detects this and switches into a vector velocity indicator where it displays your speed and acceleration values.

The colors of the display grid are also configurable!




See the VIDEO tutorial for a detailed setup walkthrough.

1. Place a control seat, cockpit, or remote control. The code will automatically pick which seat you are controlling.
   
   • If you only want specific ship controllers to be considered, name them with the tag "Forward"
2. Add the word "Horizon" to the name of one or more text panels/LCDs.
   
3. CHECK YOUR OWNERSHIP
   
4. Fly around and enjoy :)

Variables can be configured in the Custom Data of the programmable block this code runs from. This allows you to customize the Artificial Horizon display just the way you like!

1. Open the custom data of the programmable block
   
2. Edit the variables you desire
   
3. Click "Ok"

The script will process the changes the next time the setup routine runs (It cycles every 10 seconds). If you are impatient, you can also click the "Recompile" button in the programmable block's terminal.


This code took quite a bit of headache to get to work so I hope y'all enjoy! :)
If you notice any issues, please comment so I can fix them promptly.
