Aeronautics: Fly by Instruments

[0.2.0] - 2026-10-28

An experimental avionics suite: a ground proximity warning computer, a cockpit panel and physical wires.

Added

• Added the Avionics Computer, an experimental ground proximity warning system that reads your sensors and warns about terrain ahead, pull up, sink rate, altitude loss, flying too low and steep banks.
• Added a status screen to the Avionics Computer with sensor roles, a sensitivity setting, per-function inhibit and a self-test button.
• Added the experimental Avionics Wire, with brass Wire Connectors and iron Wire Supports, that hangs between devices to link them.
• Added the Wiring View, toggled with V, which shows every wire through blocks coloured by network state.
• Added cutting a single wire with a Create Wrench in the Wiring View.
• Added a "Looks at" setting to Terrain Scanners to tell the Avionics Computer which side of the ship they watch.
• Added joined Modular Tables: tables side by side form one panel, and modules can span several tables.
• Added docking: a Modular Table mounted on an Avionics Computer joins its network without any wire.
• Added lamp indications (GPWS warning, caution, INOP or a single function) and amber lamps.
• Added silencing the alarm by clicking a lit lamp or a sounding buzzer; sneak-click on a buzzer opens its settings.
• Added a heading compass to the FMS screen that marks the selected waypoint.
• Added one-click linking of an FMS Compass from the FMS screen.
• Added block light from lit table lamps.
• Added crafting recipes for the experimental avionics suite: Avionics Computer, Modular Table, lamps, buzzer, FMS, FMS Compass, Avionics Wire, Wire Connector and Wire Support. The Network Bridge stays creative-only.
• Added Create-style "Hold [Shift] for Summary" tooltips to every block and module.

Changed

• Changed the sensor screen to a new layout where changes apply immediately, with a new Redstone Link frequency picker.
• Changed the look of the experimental Modular Table, lamps, buzzer, FMS and avionics blocks to match the Create style.
• Changed the FMS screen into one clear panel: the destination with distance and bearing on top, and waypoints you click to fly direct to (right click to edit).
• Changed new FMS waypoints to start at your position with the name ready to type, and deleting a waypoint now asks for a second click.
• Renamed the Flight Management System Module item to FMS.
• Changed the Modular Table Base to 4 pixels thick, so modules sit 1 pixel higher.
• Changed the required R-UI Lib version to 0.8.0 or newer.

Removed

• Removed the GPWS Computer, which now loads as the Avionics Computer and keeps only its sensitivity.
• Removed GPWS profiles, modes and custom alert rules.
• Removed the gpws CC:Tweaked peripheral; programs must use avionics_computer.
• Removed cableCount from the Network Bridge and Avionics Computer status in CC:Tweaked.
• Removed the experimental Avionics Cable block; link devices with the Avionics Wire instead. Cables already placed in a world disappear when it loads.
