Whip's Artificial Horizon Redux

Whip's Artificial Horizon Redux


Updated the space orientation indicator to draw 3D arrow heads for better visual clarity



Howdy!

This is my rendition of an artificial horizon for use on the ship cockpit screens and regular LCDs and text panels; I wasn't satisfied with Keen's so I made my own. This script utilizes the new sprite based drawing API to allow the visuals to be much more crisp than my old pixel-based variant.

In atmosphere, the script will display a colored artificial horizon with graphical indicators for velocity, pitch, and roll as well as text displays of altitude, speed, and heading.


When you leave a planet's atmosphere, the horizon disappears and the screen functions as a graphical velocity indicator where speed and acceleration are displayed on screen. Also, the world XYZ axes are drawn to help you orient yourself in space.

• Works with new cockpit LCDs
  
• Prograde and retrograde velocity indicators that never go off screen
  
• Fully configurable colors
  
• Uses Custom Data for customization (No more need to modify the code!)
  
• Uses new sprite drawing API to generate crisp visuals
  
• PULL UP warning displays when the script detects that a collision with the ground is imminent
  
• Works as a graphical velocity indicator in space
  
• World XYZ axes are shown when in space to help you orient yourself

1. Place this script on your ship
   
2. Place one or more ship controllers on your ship (Cockpits, Flight Seats, or Remote Controls)
   
3. Add Horizon to the name of text panels or blocks with text surfaces that you want the artificial horizon displayed.
   
   • Blocks with text surfaces include: Cockpits, flight seats, programmable blocks, and console blocks
     
   • Configure which text surface the horizon is displayed on within the block's custom data (You don't need to do this for text panels). The default config will be populated automatically.
   
   
4. Enjoy!

• Place the word Reference in the name of the ship controller that you want use to orient the the artificial horizon.
  
  • If you do not specify, the code will automatically detect and use the seat you are controlling the ship from.
• Place the word Horizon in the name of any sound blocks you want to use for ground collision warnings.
  
  • Make sure to select a sound to play on the sound block. You can configure the loop interval in the custom data of the programmable block.

You can change how the artificial horizon looks and behaves within the Custom Data of the programmable block this script is running from. Simply open the custom data, modify it, and click "Ok". The code will update to reflect these changes within 10 seconds at most.



Yes, in the custom data of this programmable block.

Yes.

Yes, as long as they are configured to write to different cockpit screens, my scripts will not conflict.

Yes. Simply append the CAL2 configuration to the END of the Custom Data like so:
The three hyphens (---) need to go after everything else in the Custom Data, but before the Auto LCD configuration.

Yes! Check out the presets below in the Color Schemes discussion!
