Auto Credit Based on seanplaystoomuch's Booster 35

Credit to Deltlead on Youtube for the land/hover scripts that are on both vehicles, you can tell what's his because the targeting script is awful (mine) and the landing one is amazing (his)

Over the last month or so I've been working on my "Simple OLM" and this 35 Raptor Super Heavy Booster so I figured, what the heck let's put them together! I popped one of my Starships on top and wrote a very simple code that either:
- Brings the Booster back to the launch site or
- Puts the Starship into a suborbital trajectory aiming for a water splashdown on the other side of Droo

Just launch from DSC Launch Pad Large and let the script fly the ship! The game will pause right before hot staging, switch to the Booster command disc located above the grid fins and activate Stage 5 to initiate RTLS or just press play and fly the Starship.

The code is very simple and doesn't use any active targeting so it's basically just a hole-punch code similar to those used to control early manned rockets. For this reason it doesn't always land on the large pad but it will most of the time! Fast forwards will make the fail ratio higher.

Another note: I built this OLM and Booster from scratch in the last month and just popped a ship I'd made a few months back on top. I didn't realize until after "finishing" this code and getting it to land okayishly that the Starship I used is one I actually made for RSS, so it has waaaay too much fuel and performance and could easily land on Luna if you want to raise the Perigee before ship reentry.

Thanks again!!
