Auto Credit Based on imadium's PID hopper

This is my demonstrtion of thrust vector control using hinges(the engine's own gimbal is turned off).

Control is achieved through sum of multiple PID controllers compensating for yaw, pitch, roll, translation, altitude as well as target heading.

Roll is controlled using the opposite yaw action of both engines.

as always, setting the gains is a pain in the a**. but yeah.. over all the custum expression eases the use of multiple PIDs.

and yeah... good luck finding those perfectly tuned gains.. ;)
