Hi, maybe I'm the only one with crooked hands. I can't install this mod. I put it in the mods folder, when I launch the game it creates a folder for it, but it doesn't show up in the game, what am I doing wrong?
Did you make sure to put the mod correctly into the game, and that it doesn't actually appear when you launch a rocket or something?
Can you also press F1 after you launch a rocket and take a screenshot of the mod log?

sorry for such a long reply, my first comment was deleted, the problem was in the old version of the game, now everything is fine

Updated to 0.7.0 - see first post for updated documentation and links.

This version adds support for the ANAIS target, both for orbit changes and final approach. When used with ANAIS and SAS there is now most of the support for an 'auto-pilot' in SFS. Note - SAS does not currently support ANAIS when on final approach - so the direction still has to be set manually for this.

Wow that's revolutionary, will use the new version

Very helpful, I always like it when mods have more cross compatibility.

Hello. How could I use it to land, for example, the first stage of a Falcon 9 on an autonomous landing platform?
This is not something I've actually tried so you will need to experiment.
  1. Move the marker to the target.
  2. Manually adjust your trajectory so that you are moving towards it, both vertically and horizontally with the trajectory over the target.
  3. Point the rocket away from the target both h&v.
  4. Turn on mark assist and angle the rocket to keep the trajectory over the target.
  5. Once above the target turn off mark assist, point the rocket up and turn on surface assist.
The remainder should work as normal landing:
  1. target 32m alt (or higher to pass above any tower).
  2. Once reached, change max thrust to minimum (5%).
  3. Angle sideways as needed to get stationary above where you want to land.
  4. Change target height to minimum.
  5. Once landed, turn thrust assist off.
Hope this helps.
