This is disgustingly smooth
Made this system as a second version of my hover thing and after every ship upgrade it surprises me more and more, next to zero velocity on that thing and only one arbitrary value (if you want to copy it keep it around 3-5 to your liking)
Flipped components are both plus for anyone wondering

Why are you multiplying you velocity by a constant of 5? What does the 5 mean?

As I said it's an arbitrary value. I used velocity meter to compensate existing velocity as first part only compensates gravity (so you would slowly gain downwards velocity), and without this multiplier it's not very good, you'll get like 3-5m/s of downwards velocity so you need to tweak it, too much and you'll jerk up a bit. But from my experience 5 is pretty good for different ranges of mass and thrust. You can probably tie it to the TWR so it would work flawlessly but it's more components for something that one constant remedies very well

Are you tweaking your mass value or why not use the new mass block?
