Anti-Lock Brakes

Have you ever landed your spaceplane, but hit the brakes a bit too hard, causing your plane to flip over? You can pulse the brakes manually, but who really wants to abuse their keyboard that way? The engineers at ShureStop Industries put their heads together and came up with the Anti-Lock Brake System! Attach the computer to your vessel, and while flying, turn on the ABS and it will begin pulsing the brake action group. When your craft stops moving, ABS will automatically set the brakes to on, and deactivate itself. 

The computer is in the Utility panel, and can be unlocked in the Landing node in the tech tree.

This mod is compatible with the KSP-AVC version check system, but it's not required

Changes in 1.0 from 0.1"

  • Completely Redesigned Part!
  • Key support! Now the mod works as the brakes do with the keyboard, except you hit the "Mod" key with "B" (by default this is Alt).
  • Electricity Draw! Now the part pulls 0.3 electric charge per second when on. 
  • GUI editor! Now, you can right click the part and open the GUI which allows you to modify the rate at which the ABS system toggles. By default it is every .1 seconds.

Stuff to come:

  • Toolbar support. I was hoping to get this in for this release, but I was having crazy problems with it and just commented everything out for now. The icons and everything are here though.
