Version 1.7

Fixed deprecation.

Updated to use the sprite based LCDs. You can now target a specific LCD for blocks with multiple LCDs using the @ symbol after the tag with a number.

Example "Control Seat #ACC@2"

It's zero-indexed, mening that the example targets the third screen.

Version 1.6.

Added the ability to trigger timer blocks when the cruise control disables itself upon exiting the gravity well.

There no limit to the number of timer blocks you can trigger.

Just tag any timer block with the same tag as for LCDs and lamps (#ACC by default), recompile, and it will trigger it.

Version 1.5 Actually this time.

There was a problem uploading it, now it should have worked.

Version 1.5

Thrust effectiveness cutoff setting added. Default set to 5%.

Whe the effectiveness of a thruster falls below that value, it will be set to idle. This makes sure atmospheric thrusters doesn't run at full steam in space, wasting electricity.

On my tiny test ship with 1 large atmospheric and 1 large ion thruster it saved about 35% electricity.

Version 1.4

Automatic detection of which side have the stronges thrusters, read or bottom.

Setting "Use bottom instead of rear thrusters" has been replaced with "Select thrusters", which has the options Auto, Rear, and Bottom.

You can now hot-swap between rear and bottom thrusters using the "swap" argument in a toolbar.

Version 1.3

There's now arguments for turning the script on or off, without toggling.

These are now the 3 ways to engage/disengage the script.
All of them must be triggered as an action, i.e. from the toolbar, a sensor, a button etc..
