Auto Credit Based on spefyjerbf's Gimbal VTOL Engine Test

Controls:
Throttle: Engine power (turn the engine on)
VTOL UP: Velocity-controlled ascent
VTOL DOWN: Velocity-controlled descent
VTOL CENTER: Hover
Yaw and Pitch: Non-vertical motion
Trim: Pitch orientation

Tips:
- The distance that the VTOL slider is from the center is proportional to the speed that will be maintained.
- If the ride is bumpy, decrease the throttle for a little bit.

    For the program : clamp01(1 + sign(VTOL)) * clamp01(abs(GS) * abs(sin(AngleOfAttack + PitchAngle)) + 0.15) * (Throttle * -1 * sign(AngleOfAttack + PitchAngle)) * (1 - clamp01(ceil(VTOL))) + clamp01(-1 * sign(VTOL)) * clamp01(1 - (sign(AngleOfAttack + PitchAngle))) * clamp01(GS * abs(sin(AngleOfAttack + PitchAngle)) - 25 * abs(VTOL)) * Throttle + clamp01(ceil(VTOL)) * Throttle * -1 * clamp(GS * sin(AngleOfAttack + PitchAngle) - 25 * abs(VTOL), -1, 0)

    @Omel No problem. If you want, you can take some funky trees parts, as long as you give credit appropriately.

    @Omel Of course! My flight systems are free-to-use. If you want the extension/finished version of this flight system, check out my most recent upload - there are some very useful added features. Be sure to tag me on whatever build you upload so I can see it!
