    Try the following

    • Land 1 - 5 kilometers from the launch pad, take off and tilt your craft towards the landing pad and back up again and down and up to hover your way to the desired location, I assume 10 meters per second is a safe horizontal speed.

    • Orbit very close to the surface but not in the atmosphere and direct your orbit to the estimated location according to the rotational speed of the planet, if you aren’t accurate enough then use a plane and glide to the location in a dense atmosphere, if there’s no atmosphere then tilt the craft to the location and go up and down avoiding the ground to hover. This is in my opinion the easiest way to land precisely on something.

    I also wanted to get a video tutorial for it but I don't think there is one. But a guy on reddit once told me that we have to keep planet rotation and atmospheric drag in mind while doing it. So it's quite hard to do it.

    @RStar Yeah. It’s pretty hard.

    @DrexxVolv thanks.. but kinda feeling lost tried several times haha... But yes it's just like docking practice..needs few more tries I guess
