Gimbal¶
Many engines in KSP have thrust vectoring gimbals and in ksp they are their own module

structure
Gimbal
¶ Suffix Type Description RANGE
scalar The Gimbal’s Possible Range of movement RESPONSESPEED
scalar The Gimbal’s Possible Rate of travel PITCHANGLE
scalar Current Gimbal Pitch YAWANGLE
scalar Current Gimbal Yaw ROLLANGLE
scalar Current Gimbal Roll LOCK
boolean Is the gimbal free to travel?
-
Gimbal:
RANGE
¶ Type: scalar Access: Get only The maximum extent of travel possible for the gimbal along all 3 axis (Pitch, Yaw, Roll)
-
Gimbal:
RESPONSESPEED
¶ Type: scalar Access: Get only A Measure of the rate of travel for the gimbal
-
Gimbal:
PITCHANGLE
¶ Type: scalar Access: Get only The gimbals current pitch, has a range of -1 to 1. Will always be 0 when LOCK is true
-
Gimbal:
YAWANGLE
¶ Type: scalar Access: Get only The gimbals current yaw, has a range of -1 to 1. Will always be 0 when LOCK is true
-
Gimbal:
ROLLANGLE
¶ Type: scalar Access: Get only The gimbals current roll, has a range of -1 to 1. Will always be 0 when LOCK is true
-
Gimbal:
LOCK
¶ Type: string Access: Get/Set Can this Gimbal produce torque right now, when you set it to false it will snap the engine back to 0s for pitch,yaw and roll
