Lander fine-tuning (IJKL) only moves the vessel East.

Open fronbow opened this issue 7 years ago • 6 comments

I'm not sure if this is an error with my current debug build? But pressing any of I/J/K/L just advances my vessel's direction away from the target position. i.e. they all seem to do the exact same calculation?!

And currently, on Minmus at least, appears to put the vessel 500m away from the previous location!

I will have to test again with your latest build. Last time I checked, this was working perfectly.

Very curious. My test basically works perfectly, however, after doing some moving around during the landing process, I get some bizarre numbers in the lat box (359.902677420287), and the Land button says "Cannot Land". Is it possible the lat/lon coords are getting mixed up?

Not quite related, but if it's possible and desirable, could we have the fine-tuning NOT reset the altitude with each change? If so, then I guess I'll make another issue for it.

Add it as a new issue/enhancement and I can work on it when I'm working this out!! (As far as I can remember, HE has always behaved like this?) And yes, I noticed odd numbers too. moar testing required

I think I'll double-check a few things for an hour or so ;)

I think this is caused by attempting to land the vessel before changing the SOI/orbit to a different body.

I'd like code added to do that SOI/orbit change prior to executing the landing, to save the user a step. This has been a point of confusion since the beginning.
