I finally managed to automate a Lunar mission regardless of the position of Luna with respect to Droo at time of launch. It will take off from Droo, establish a stable orbit, target Luna, wait to be in proper position and make it's way to Luna. Once it enters Luna's sphere of influence, it will establish lunar orbit, decrease the orbit, deploy the lander and enter a sequence that will safely land between 2 and 3 m/s. Aside from the Vizzy program, I'm most proud of the folding legs on the lander with integrated suspention.

please update the instructions, i just got to luna and start orbiting after it lost the orbit and still doing mess around lol
This lander has A MAJOR PROBLEM with the vizzy. Because I chose to look at the parts but they don’t match up, don’t ya have a V2?
This I guess,your have to land by yourself
mine just made and orbit then fell back into the atmosphere
Mine didn’t land - it just orbited around luna!!!
IT CANT EVEN ORBIT PROPERLY HOW IS IT SUPPOSED TO GO TO LUNA??????????????
It had a close call with Brigo, Returned to Droo and burnt up in the atmosphere!!!
It lands and then explodes
@AviatorDominikYT Well if you weren't a complete moron it'd probably work just for me like it does for anyone who's not.
Badass, everything works perfect as long as you aren't a moron.
@LitmusAeroInc LOL At least the Land sequence works if nothing else.
I just used this and it target Luna but got caught in Brigo’s SOI and somehow landed perfectly on the planet😂
Mine landed!
Good job
it doesnt even land,it just crashes on Luna
@rhuetherjr I'll try
@SymmetryTechnologiesIncorporated I’m sure you can make it work. The activation groups and staging will need to match up. I have a stand alone landing program that is initiated with an AG once you’re in lunar orbit that will work.
Will it work if i copy the vizzy to my lunar lander?
@Frickman Did you have the time set in a warp mode during the decent? The rockets won't fire if you did.
it just crashed into luna
@JustDatGuy Yeah... I've had the same issue, I'll fix it
@rhuetherjr I DID increase the warp, so....
@JustDatGuy For some reason if you increase the warp time, it occasionally misses the final burn. I'll dig in and adjust the program.
Didn’t work, I ended up in an orbit around Luna...
@mcbeijer Thanks! Yeah... I was so pleased with the functionality that I ended up neglecting some of the little details. I'll upload a revised version with more messages and better timing.
