Bump once more, this is definately needed.

so
just keeping the speed the same?

[SailorMan]

If only there were instruments for planes on blockland, where you can adjust the trim on the planes, and the things would practically fly themselves... I'd rather have that than auto pilot, because adjusting the trim requires effort to get it perfect, and you still have to watch the plane.

[Racerboy]

so
just keeping the speed the same?

The same speed that you were going when you activated it.

And the same relative direction.

And stabilize the plane (put it in the up-right position...parallel to the ground)

I thought I explained all of this in the OP.

[phflack]

what would change the direction though?
and the person could put it upright to start with

If the plane is just going a little bit down or a little bit up...then it'll just keep escalating. I don't mean the plane's rotation, I mean its direction up or down. It should be flying parallel to the ground in auto-pilot.

are you guys dumb?
moveforward(0.5) is pretty much
moveforward(1); and adding walk(1);
I am pretty sure it works

You're a whole page late

Thanks for this quality info.


Can somebody do this?

[BluetoothBoy]

Is it possible to get the player/vehicle's rotational values? If so, this seems like it wouldn't be too hard.

I've had this quickly-made flight indicator GUI for awhile. Not sure how it will work with this version.

Huh interesting I didn't think you could get the rotation and everything client sided which means this is possible
The mod could adjust the degrees of rotation till it's 0 and a stay there
