Implimented features added and adjusted in 1.9.6 and Hotfix
Corrected MCM papyrus errors
Implimented water level elevation limit (requires skse 1.7.3)
Cruise control no longer affects nor is effected by turning, strafing, or elevation changes.
Exit control functions imediately now and no longer needs to be held to register the keystroke.
Inverted left and right turning controls when traveling backwards for more intuitive control.
Version 1.9.7
Coming Soon, changes listed here for tracking purposes.
Added Water collision awareness to stop decent if the ship reaches the relative waterplane for the given cell.
Corrected an issue with the MCM which was interfering with the MCM reflecting camera selections made with the camera toggle key during flight.
Corrected a model issue which was causing the downward and upward movement to have unintended shaking which was interfering with movable on deck mode and other flight engine scripts.

Corrected a papyrus error which was delaying flight initiation.
Updated follower script to adapt to the needed condition and supmmon the follower only as many times as needed for the location conditions.
Corrected issue with fast travel restrictions. (Traveling away from the ship while if flight via fast travel, teleport or any number of mod added methods will break the scripts and potentially crash the game, don't do it. ALWAYS Stop the ship first!)
Corrected system crashing if transported away from the ship while in movable on deck mode, still.... don't do it. (Attached to ship mode will put you back on the deck as the system won't be able to transport the actual actor body.)
End Flight / Exit Key now works instantly on keystroke rather than the update sequence with the flight controls. Added notification on pressing the exit key to alert the activation of the command.
Version 1.9.6
Modified flight stability checks to be less agressive will now need 6 consecutive updates to take 3 seconds or longer to cycle for flight to cease. (other conditions may still apply, distance from the ship, player death, activation errors)

Corrected issue which prevented some of the lighting assets from being fully disabled when the option to do so was selected.

Added flight control restriction until flight model setup completes to help limit script interruption.

Modified lights in full cabin and added some different lighting techniques.
Version 1.8.88
Corrected script errors in sorting system (Overburdening the system will show freeze stacks in Papyrus if you have too large of a collection be aware the full sort and retrieval lever will likely cause papyrus logs to explode)
Corrected some issues with beacon summoning of the ship which caused some Papyrus errors (no effect on gameplay or ship functionality.)
Refined scripts to help ensure minimal script induced issues durring use. (Tested primarily on New save, advise clean save if you have any unforseen issues)

Plank size significantly increased.
Camera toggle added to MCM allows for flight mode change during flight session.

Corrected issue with Plank which interfered with intentional functionality.
Moderate changes to interior lighting, may flicker, will be fully redesigned later.
Version 1.8.82
Corrected for unintended sounds in original and Alternate Interiors by changing acoustic space.
Attempted to correct for an issue which was affecting a user and seeing the beacons fail after a couple of in-game days in another world space by setting them and their corrisponding light effects to player owned upon creation.

Traveling between worldspaces via the interior maps will place you on the deck of the ship, some script delays may have you appear at the beacon briefly before moving to the wheel.
Refined several script functions to alleviate some potential internal conflicts which should lessen script delays if any were experienced (that were not intentional)
All functions and features of all three internal and external models verified in working order, beacon travel system tested with Skyrim, Solstheim, Falskaar, and Wyrmstooth.

Re-named sorting scripts to reflect uniformed capitalization of the Mod.
Version 1.8.7.4
Corrected issue with Manniquin Sandbox status where some followers would see the manniquin as a hostile creature when sandboxing away from player view.
Corrected erronious flag which made the invisible object used for determining height for the rope ladder appear in the leveled list when added from an external source, those additions such as sum or spike may need to be renewed to apply this correction.

Dev Aveza A Custom Flying Airship
"Bored of Skyrim lately? This mod is awesome. It will totally help rejuvenate the experience. The Dragonborn now travels by air." - Halithorn
Also available on SSE with future development happening there.
This Airship was originally made by Muppetpuppet as seen in his mod Moonpath to Elsweyr. I felt the ship model was gorgeous, and that it should have more use in my Skyrim game. Using the scripts from NoxyGame's Dwemer Skyship Fully Flyable and some creative interpretation of custom complex collisions, I bring you the Dev Aveza. The ship is initially parked on the cliffs of Solitude behind the Blue Palace.
