Disable remote tech flight computer #2230

As there is an addon would it be possible to add functionality to set the FlightComputer to off? When KOS is trying to direct the craft while the FlightComputer is active it leads to instability.

I wish... The hard part of this is that the way RT is implemented, the flight computer is integral to everything about how its signal delay system works. Say for example you press "R" on the keyboard to turn on the RCS, but it takes a few minutes to happen because of signal delay. The way RT causes that delay to occur is by capturing that attempt to toggle RCS and transforming it into a Flight Computer command instead. This Flight Computer command gets queued up to happen a few minutes from now. Then the Flight Computer is in charge of making it happen when the timer runs out.

If you disable the Flight Computer in RT, you also break the infrastructure it's using to capture all manual inputs and give them a signal delay.
