Automated propulsive landing

@pedro16797 nah, it tends to oscillate anyway...

@WNP78 maybe using an intake to check for atmospheric density

@pedro16797 I wasn't trying to make a propulsive landing, I was trying to make an altitude hold ground skimming missile type thing. A PID would probably have been best for this situation.

@WNP78 my approach was comparing altitude to surface speed knowing my terminal velocity

@NathanMikeska ok, yeah I was trying to make the missile fly off of flight data (height) so that may be the case. It did have a command chip, though. Doesn't overly matter, since I don't expect a decent altitude hold will work without some kind of reference to vertical speed.

@NathanMikeska I got it to work without a command pod but just with part modifier attributes

@AnotherFireFox Now I know the tech, Making it in Droo and stock system was the first step, next is Cylero, and then RSS

@WNP78 They should update, as far as I know. There are currently some limitations though... If I recall correctly, I believe they must have a command pod for the input controllers to function. Also, all the flight data stuff is only calculated for the player's craft (and based off the current command pod). Probably some other less-than-ideal situations as well.

I feel like I'm left behind, I have felt like it must be my Eridanus MPCV :(

@WNP78 are you sure about this? The InputControllers for Activators are working for that

@NathanMikeska is it intentional that InputControllers don't seem to update when the player is not controlling the craft, or should I report this as a bug? I was looking forward to some nice auto-controlled missiles, but ah.

Glad I could help. :-)

@NathanMikeska thanks for your help
This depends on the Data values and RcnThrottle, thanks for listening so much to the community :)
