Please don't judge me by this. I needed a side project while I'm refining my auto rendezvous and dock program.
To set up a drone ship landing, follow these instructions:
1) Edit the Vizzy to remove the broadcast step called "aero" (it's at the end of the "entry burn" code setment)
2) Save to craft and let it run until the craft crashes in the ocean (don't touch anything)
3) Save the crash location
4) Load a drone ship (or anything) to the saved location and be sure to name it "drone ship" (this the drone ship I used
5) Edit the Vizzy code to put the broadcast step back in
6) Save to craft and watch it work
Notes:
- I'm not proud of the programming
- It doesn't work all the time
- The craft is ugly as anything
- I used a downloaded system (ESS) and launched from Herschel, won't work many other places
I had some fun making this, and hopefully you have some fun playing around with it!

@Gozinya Do you think you could look at some of my crafts and see if this could could be implemented into any of them? I’v been trying to get my landings as precise as possible, and I’v been getting pretty close, but the way that I’v been doing it is just not it. If you do this you will be a legend.

@crowxe yeah, the vector math introduced in the latest Vizzy update made me go back to my old Algebra books. In the end, this YouTube video helped me with the two major vector operations. As for the block stuff, it’s just a way to organize code, especially if you have defined phases or steps that you need to run over and over again. It makes things way easier to troubleshoot and edit.

@Gozinya
all my work is just based on being tricky in using what i know how to use, there's tons of Math that i don't know like that "dot" thing between vectors and that whole block i hope you can teach me some or refer me to math video that explains those things. -

@crowxe I know, I just read your description and started following you too. I think we can learn things from each other. I’ve added your content to my watchlist and will be going through it in the next couple weeks.

i've just read your introduction and it sounds exactly like me..except i'm worse in craft designing and a bit less vizzy skills comparing to you (not to mention that i'm totally oblivion of those purple blocks and barely know how to use message system)

@Doglover232YT yeah that's a long term project for me, and I hope to complete it someday. I only uploaded this because another user was literally begging me to. I made the craft as obnoxious as I could to ward off others :-)

Can you do it for normal stock system? In both they crash into the land.

Here’s a VIDEO of this craft’s predecessor.
