Version 1.1 (2017-07-15)

Please, 'thumbs up' this script if you find it useful.

In addition to a programmable block, requires remote control and timer blocks and optionally a text panel.

Will reliably maintain altitude of ship. Will set current altitude or an altitude can be specified in the programmable block's argument.

1. Build a programmable block, remote control facing forward and a timer block.
   
   
2. Load the script into the programmable block and configure the script by setting textPanelName and remoteControlName to their respective block names or set the block's names to the default values provided.
   
   
3. Adjust the speed limit on the remote control block.
   
   
4. Configure the timer block to run the program block and start the timer again with a delay of ten seconds.
   
   
5. Optionally, build a text panel to display orbital diagnostic information.

Manouver your ship into a planet's gravitational field. Start the timer which will run the programmable block at the interval set by delay. The programmable block will set a single waypoint on the remote control each time it is run. The waypoint will be forward parallel to the sealevel of the planet. Enable autopilot and the ship will travel forward to the waypoint a maximum of 500 meters or continuously as the timer triggers an update.

An altitude in meters argument can be specified in the programmable block. Without the argument, the altitude is set automatically based on current altitude. When using atomatic altitude, the altitude is stored in the remote control block's CustomData field. You can run the script with "reset" as the argument to clear the stored altitude or manually clear it from the remote control block. Setting a toolbar item to perform a reset is recommended.

The text panel will display the script's diagnostic information and is updated at the rate the timer runs the programmable block..
