glideController
GlideController is a vector oriented controller, it contains methods that will guide your rocket through glide towards target maneuver. During the descent glidePIDController will adjust the course only through means of control surfaces and RCS controls.

| parameters | type | default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| ldata | landingDataModel | - | landingDataModel constructed with desired landing position |
| aoa* | float | 10 | max angle of attack relative to retrograde vector |
| errorScaling* | float | 1 | how sensitive the controller is to error |

Public methods
| public methods | return type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| getSteering() | Direction | returns steering direction |
| getThrottle() | Float | returns 0 |
| completed() | Boolean | is throttle larger than 0? |
| passControl(bool) | None | passes control |
getSteering()
No parameters
Returns steering direction.
getThrottle()
No parameters
Because gliding is unpowered flight, always returns 0.
completed()
No parameters
Returns true if throttle is larger than 0.
passControl(bool)
Parameters:
- isUnlocking::Boolean -> should
throttleandsteeringbe unlocked?
Takes control over both steering and throttle until completed() returns true.
Code examples
local ldata is landingDataModel(target:geoposition).
local glide is glideController(ldata).
lock steering to glide["getSteering"]().local ldata is landingDataModel(target:geoposition).
// max aoa of 5
local glide is glideController(ldata, 5).
lock steering to glide["getSteering"]().
