Altitude hold

Hi folks, looking on tips on how to get my craft Automatically stay below 30-40ft above sea level for realism or is it a case of constant manual adjustment?

    @BadmanSalam it works for iOS, just enable the Overload mod.

    clamp01(Altitude < 40) in the activationGroup tab should work.
    Put it into a downward-facing engine, preferably centred at the CoM.
    .
    There's definitely better ways, but that works. You can adjust the 40 to whatever height you need. It's measured in metres IIRC, so you'll have to convert.
    Also, if you change Altitude to AltitudeAgl, it will measure the altitude above ground level as opposed to sea level.
    Hope this helps :)
