So if you click one of the rotate buttons after it has zeroed out the offsets will it correct? Is it using a PID model or something else?

The SpaceX simulation is simplistic enough and gives you enough data that you really don't need a PID controller to hit the target numbers.

Totally agree I’m just trying to learn PID control and seeing a few different implementations in javascript (to solve the same problem) has actually been quite informative.
