In-flight upgrades of ship's mainframe are now considered too risky! + * Added the new **[T+ rV-]** attitude cue that targets ship's engines so that continious thrust will propell the ship towards the target while correcting any lateral drift. Very usefull for approaches from a distance. + * Added Smart Engines switch to Engine Profile to set S.E. mode when profile is activated. + * Corrected logic of the Approach stage of Rendezvous autopilot to make it safe to approach huge targes (like asteroids). + * Orbital autopilots are now not available when there's only Maneuver engines onboard. + * Many bugfixes. + +* v3.3.4 * Added **Engine Profile Autoconfiguration** in Editor. * Added **Smart Engines** mode for orbital flight: - * In this mode engines are automatically grouped by thrust direction (e.g. all aft engines and all forward engines). - * Then, when a big change in thrust direction is needed for a maneuver (say, 90 or 180 deg), an appropriate group is selected and enabled, while other groups are disabled. + * In this mode engines are automatically grouped by thrust direction (e.g. all aft engines and all forward engines). + * Then, when a big change in thrust direction is needed for a maneuver (say, 90 or 180 deg), an appropriate group is selected and enabled, while other groups are disabled. * There are 3 methods of selecting the appropriate group: - 1. Min. rotation: the selected group is the closest to the needed direction. - 2. Min. maneuver time: if groups differ in total thrust, the selected group is the group that has the smallest maneuver time, including time needed to change ship's attitude. - 3. Fuel efficiency: for small delta-V this falls back to Min. maneuver time; for large delta-V the total Isp of the group is also considered, and the group with the largest Isp has much more chance to be selected. + 1.

This allows KAC, for instance, to make its gradual dewarping. And it allows a user to press DECREASE_TIMEWARP (default ',') or STOP_TIMEWARP (default '/') buttons and take control over the warp. * An on-screen message will inform you of any such event.
