Purpose:

Allows you to use activation groups (or other boolean inputs) to enable/disable inputs, which is currently possible on SimpleRockets 2 but not on SimplePlanes (without an ft expression like this)

Explanation:

Just uses a ternary selection, if group 1 (or the boolean in it’s place) is true (for activation groups on = true, off = false), it outputs the controller (like throttle, pitch, roll, etc) it’s set to. Otherwise, it outputs 0. Pretty simple, actually.

Expressions:

Rotator:

Activate1 ? 0 : -1

Wing control surface:

Activate1 ? Roll : 0

Horizontal stabilizer control surface:

Activate1 ? Pitch : 0

Vertical stabilizer control surface:

Activate1 ? Yaw : 0

Example:

In this example, the top wings and stabilizers fold in and don’t respond to control when activation group 1 is off, so when the bottom section is attached they don’t make it hard to control. Once group 1 is turned on, the bottom section detaches and the wings unfold and start responding to inputs. Note that deactivating group 1 makes them revert to folding in and stop taking inputs (until ag 1 is activated, this is for adaptability in other builds).
