Inconsistent behavior of Autopilot in Gravity Field

Hi,

I have a problem with the behaviour of the remote control block when navigating a ship in a gravitational field. When the ship enters the gravitational field, it shows unexpected orientation changes, tilts 90 degrees and continues moving on its side instead of maintaining the intended orientation. This depends on the chosen forward direction. These problems only occur within gravity fields.

Observed Results

Ground to the end of natural gravity field:

• Up direction: In the gravity field, the ship tilts to the left side; in orbit, it lies on its belly and accelerates with the upward thrusters.
• Down direction: In the gravity field, the ship tilts again to the left side; in orbit, it lies on its back and accelerates with the downward thrusters.
• Right direction: In the gravity field, the ship tilts onto its belly; in orbit, it lies on its left side and accelerates with the right thrusters.
• Left direction: In the gravity field, the ship tilts onto its belly; in orbit, it lies on its right side and accelerates with the left thrusters.
• Forward direction: In the gravity field, the ship tilts onto its belly; in orbit, it tilts backward and accelerates with the forward thrusters.
• Backward direction: In the gravity field, the ship tilts onto its belly; in orbit, it tilts forward and accelerates with the backward thrusters.

The other remote control settings were as follows:

All checkboxes except Handbrake and Parking are checked.

Collision avoidance and precision mode are deactivated.

Flight mode is set to one-way.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Place a ship equipped with a Remote Control block, thrusters and gyroscops on a planetary surface.
2. Program the Remote Control block to navigate from the planetary surface to orbit or vice versa using the various direction settings (Up, Down, Left, Right, Forward, Backward).
3. Observe the ship's behavior as it transitions between the planetary surface and orbit.

With best regard
