✦ Autoalignment. As you fly around without moving your mouse
your ship's heading reticle will correct itself to center.
✦ On key press support. Holding key delays realignment until
it is released. Tapping it realigns the ship instantly.
✦ Configurable in SFSE\Plugins\FlightControlsAutoalign.ini

First and most important, please treat this mod as early beta & heavy WIP
I've only started messing with SFSE and C++, so you could easily guess
that I'm as far from making good mods as humanly possible. Learning curve
is steep and knowledge how to make these things tick is obscure and scary.
So if the mod doesn't work, or produces weird behavior - well, that's just part
of me learning how to make it work properly and dodge all the weird. Just be
understanding and a bit patient if something goes terribly wrong.
And word on ALT controls. In theory - it should feel like Elite Dangerous,
where your mouse directly affects ship's rotation: you move it - ship rotates,
and when you stop moving it - ship stops rotating as well, except inertia ofc.
Let's call it "testing the water" for the time being. You tell me how it feels.
Source code. I mean, if I knew how to github - I would. Otherwise, if you
need it (even if just to make fun of me), then poke me in the comments.
