Ascend Control Script by Decker_MMIV

Version 1.2.1 (date 2016-10-07)

This ascend script prioritise atmospheric and/or ion thrusters according to their efficiency, before activating hydrogen thrusters for extra boost.

Another feature, once leaving planet gravity this script will rotate the ship towards direction of velocity and activate dampeners, for bringing it to a complete halt using the "big thrusters".

And as bonus, there is even another feature included with the script, which is explained in the script's comment header.

The setup is minimal, as you basically only need to do the following:

• Programmable block, with this script
  
• Timer block, that ONLY runs the programmable block with no arguments.
  -> Important: NO self-triggering of the timer. This script does that automatically. <-
  
• Remote Control, Pilot Seat or Ship Controller
  
• Text display (optional, but good for show)

All these four blocks should have 'ASCEND' somewhere in their custom-name.

Whatever thrust-blocks you place on the ship, is up to you. - Just make sure that there is enough power and thrust for leaving the planetary gravity-well.

Remember: The timer-block MUST ONLY run the programmable block with no argument, and NOTHING ELSE.

At minimum you use the following two arguments for activating the main features of this script:

• ascend
  
• align

The ascend argument toggles on/off the script's ascend program, were the align argument toggles on/off the gravity-/velocity-alignment feature.

Other arguments are documented within the script's comment header.

• Altitude is only available when using DEV.
