Author's description

Automatic system that uses 3 velocity inputs and outputs the amount of degrees your front of the ship is from prograde(forward direction) or retrograde(opposite of prograde). Connect it to your yaw and pitch to make it go prograde or retrograde Needs a PD system otherwise it overshoots. will be working on that or use your own one See photos for examples of the inputs and what it will output: 1 are the 3 inputs. Connect them to 3 velocity meter, 1 pointing forward, 1 rightward and 1 upwards and connect them to the 3 correct inputs. 2 are the outputs in yaw and pitch, shows how far you are pointing from prograde or retrograde. The button is for switching between prograde and retrograde This is the math: Horizontal Velocity = √(F²+R²) Yaw = Arctangent2(R, F) Pitch = Arctangent2(U, H) F= forward speed R= Rightward speed U= Upward speed H= Horizontal speed

How to install this ship

  1. Download the ZIP. Every download contains two files with matching names — a .bp and a .bpmeta. You need both: the .bp is the ship, the .bpmeta holds its name. A .bp on its own will not appear in the game.
  2. Unzip into the Blueprints folder. Paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\ApproximatelyGames\ApproximatelyUp\Blueprints into Explorer's address bar and drop both files there. Keep their filenames exactly as they are — the game pairs them by name.
  3. Restart and open the blueprint menu. The game reads the folder on startup, so restart it. Open the blueprint menu, find the ship by its name and load it. Test it next to a garage before flying a mission.
