This was before microcontrollers were added to the game, I'm pretty sure it still works but there is very little reason to still use it.

This is pretty neat, got a strange issue though - I've plugged it into a boat, and I've found that it can turn left towards a target just fine, but when it tries to turn right it can't manage to turn hard enough, so it sails past targets far to the left and slowly circles them at a distance. Any idea what might cause that?

People usually wire those to displays in their cockpit so they can see it.

Compass needs to point to the front of your vehicle, aside from that.... sure.

Including a PID wouldn't make much sense.
a) its not really necessary for this
b) the settings depend a lot on the vehicle

If you do want to use pid, just hook the steering output into the setpoint and leave the process variable unconnected.

it would bbe nice if you uthrew a Pid in with the stearing hooked to it so it would be easyer to place in a ship cuz right now i cant figure out witch output i need to put to a PID so i ccan switch it on and off from my normal stearing, any help would be really apreicated, thank you

Made it even smaller now thanks to krails discovery.

Had a little bug in the steering output, that is fixed now.
