The Avionics package is a toggleable module that provides SAS functionality, This keeps the airplane from spinning out of control.

Description

The latest in research and developement enabled the developement of this little marvel. The Sensor Array Computing Nose Cone, it is outfitted with many "quality" sensors and a computer salvaged from the highest quality aircraft scrap.

C7 Aerospace

Usage

The Avionics package has a different tuning from the SAS and ASAS modules, making it better suited for aircraft.

This part functions identically to the Advanced S.A.S. Module in that it modifies the PID values of the SAS control but provides no torque. However, unlike ASAS, it has no integral term, and thus is closer to a "kill-rot" than a heading lock.
