Precision non-atmospheric landing

[Dr. Alex]

First of all, I've moved to this part of the forums because it seems more appropriate.
I've tried to this a lot and it is never very good.
Are there any pointers?
I tend to deorbit at a 45° angle from my landing site.
I would use this for the Moon and moons of Jupiter.

Are you trying to land at a landmark? If so first create a quicksave of you in orbit, then try to deorbit so your periapsis is over the land mark (and make it low)
If you are trying to land on a craft do the same thing

If you miss, load the quicksave and aim for a slighly different spot
Try try again until you hit it

What I personally do is descend near the area you want to land, kill off a lot of your velocity, hover towards the area where you want to land then do the landing, may take a bit of time hovering but its what I do.

Word of advice, don't try to kill your velocity too high up by only burning retrograde. If you're coming in short of your target, angle the craft so the engine is thrusting a little downwards, it helps kill vertical velocity so you go farther and actually make it to your target. That works best in realistic mode, for normal I always found it most effective to just have a nice TWR on my lander and kill all my horizontal velocity right over my target.

Thank you people!
