[FLOLS] Fresnel Lens Optical Landing System

Camelot 401, Three quarters of the mile, call the ball.

Camelot 401, Phantom Ball, State 4.2
----------------------------
These are the words spoken by any naval pilot on their final approach.

With this FLOLS System, you too, can call the ball.
---------------------------
Features:

Accurate +/- 2 Degrees glide slope calculation
Precise landing spot capability
Pitch Stabilised
LSO Control Panel featuring Wave-off Lights control
---------------------------
Set Up Guide:
Paste into your creation of your choosing. If using an angled deck, place the FLOLS assembly on a pivot and rotate it such as it faces the same direction as the angle.
Move the red painted logic components (Altimeter, GPS) to directly beneath where you want aircraft to land. On aircraft carriers, I would recommend the 3 Wire.
Move the LSO Control Panel (Dark grey box with buttons) To anywhere you want, I recommend somewhere with good sight lines of the final approach and the arrestor wires.
Make sure all main bodies are merged with your ship, and that the system has electrical power. (The battery beneath the LSO control panel is wired to everything, merely add a connection there)
-OPTIONAL-
Connect the "Foul Deck" Logic node on the back of the LSO Control panel controller to the connectors that catch the aircraft, this will flash a red light on the panel telling the LSO that the deck is currently not safe to land.
Change the glide slope to a value you want. The default is 9 degrees. If you change this, you will also need to change the gauge on the LSO Control panel. The minimum should remain at (0) and the maximum can be calculated using x*2 where x is the new glide slope angle.
---------------------------
Use Guide:
Set the Transponder Code to the same code as the aircraft is broadcasting on (See: Required Items: Aircraft XYZ Transponder)
Turn on System Power.
Ensure landing area is clear.
Aircraft is now clear to land.

Absolutely GARGANTUAN Thanks to Trapdoor on discord for being a huge help with the maths behind this.
