To pick up on this old post, I have made a mod that extends kOS to allow it to control AA from script.
Currently supported are: toggling mode (fbw, director, cruise), setting director vector, setting some cruise params.
Note that the director is not mouse director, I've added a new kOS director to avoid the mouse interfering.
Download (and code) here: https://github.com/RCrockford/kOS-AtmosphereAutopilot/releases
Usage:
You can access it withADDONS:AAit has the following boolean suffixes:FBW, DIRECTOR, CRUISE, SPEEDCONTROL, PSEUDOFLC, scalar:SPEED, HEADING, ALTITUDE, VERTSPEED,and vector:DIRECTIONe.g.
orset addons:aa:altitude to reqAltitude. set addons:aa:heading to reqHeading. set addons:aa:cruise to true.set addons:aa:direction to heading(reqHeading, reqPitch):Vector. set addons:aa:director to true.Can you provide a sample script that cruises the plane to a specific altitude? I tried adding this to my script:
set addons:aa:altitude to startingAltitude. set addons:aa:cruise to true.but it doesn't work for me. What am I missing?

I downloaded ckan.exe v1.28.0 and put it on my Desktop, but when I try to run it I get this error:
What could be the problem?

If you're only getting one print, or is printing the same thing then there's something else broken in your script rather than the lock steering being broken.
Yep, it was a problem in my script, I was resetting "goalPitch" to .7 every time in the loop
.

I'm trying to control the pitch of my plane with kOS, and am running into trouble when trying to change the pitch via user input to the terminal while the script is running. First I lock the steering to the "goalPitch" variable:
SET goalPitch TO 0.7. LOCK STEERING TO HEADING(90, goalPitch).Later on in the script I'm trying to change the "goalPitch" by pressing keyboard buttons into the terminal. Here is what I tried to achieve this:
SET tuneRatio TO 1.1. IF TERMINAL:INPUT:HASCHAR() { set inputChar to TERMINAL:INPUT:GETCHAR(). IF inputChar = "7" { SET goalPitch TO goalPitch / tuneRatio. print "goalPitch = " + goalPitch. } IF inputChar = "8" { SET goalPitch TO goalPitch * tuneRatio. print "goalPitch = " + goalPitch. } }When I press "7" or "8" the "goalPitch" is printed to the terminal, but it only seems to change once, for example if I press "8" repeatedly the "goalPitch" seems to only go to 0.77 and stay there. Is there something I'm not understanding about locking steering to a variable?

Is there a way to use Atmosphere AutoPilot with kOS to script flying at different altitudes?

I'm not sure if I understand question. What do you mean by "offset greater than 10" ?
If you attach root of wing to the nose, it is quite possible to offset wing tip to be on tail (depending on wigspan). Is that what you wanted to ask or something else ?When I press J I see that the "Offset" setting only goes up to 10. I want to make a plane with a very large wingspan, and where the wing tips go WAY behind the back of the plane.

Is it possible to make the wing offset greater than 10?

I've attached fuel tanks around a central core on my ship in hexagonal, radial symmetry mode. Now I want to attach two wings to the sides of the ship in mirrored symmetry mode. What I tried was switching to mirrored mode by pressing R, and then trying to attach the wings to the sides of the fuel tanks, but the symmetry mode automatically switches to hexagonal and radial. How can I prevent the symmetry mode from automatically switching to hexagonal and radial in this case?

The density in the alt-F12 aero-data display changes ±1.5% with time of day, in a way consistent with temperature, so I presume it changes as temperature changes with location.
Yes, I see now that the air density is slightly changing. Over the South Pole the density was greatest, and the speed was highest, which makes sense since cold air is denser than warm air.
-
If we have a plane that is cruising around the world at a specific altitude, at max thrust, and with infinite propellant turned on, would it be normal for its cruise speed to change depending on where it is? I'm observing that the cruise speed does change, so maybe something like the Coriolis force, or maybe the air temperature, is affecting it somehow?

I wasn't using autostruts, and when I turned it on my craft became much sturdier. My main issue was sometimes my plane would blow up on the runway from the slightest bump.

What are you autostruts set to?
I tried autostrutting every part to Root, Heaviest, and Grandparent and the carrier plane still blew up on separation.

Decoupler force shouldn't, make a difference. But the kraken takes many forms and it's appendages can be as subtle as [vulgar simile redacted. Seriously, there are kids here - ed.] Sounds like you may have some clipping issues. It is doable however, not recommended in stock because of game-engine constraints.
My ALS-4, reporting name Gull, works for what you are thinking of. For me barely, but then I'm pretty ham handed on the stick.
Post up some pics and we'll be able to help.
Here's what I have now. The carrier plane is the one on the bottom, and blows up instantly on separation.

I'm trying to build a craft that consists of a small plane that gets carried by a larger plane to a high altitude and then the small plane detaches from the large plane and flies on its own. What I did was first build the small plane, and then attach a decoupler to the bottom of the small plane, and then build the carrier plane under the small plane, attached to the decoupler. This plane takes off fine, but when I activate the stage to decouple the small plane, the carrier plane instantly explodes into a million pieces. The small plane doesn't explode, but it sometimes gets hit with debris from the big plane and gets sent off course and crashes.
How can I prevent the carrier plane from exploding when it releases the plane it's carrying?
-
I know that in the cheat options there is a checkbox for making joints indestructible, and checking that box does seem to make a craft stronger, but it can still blow up if it experiences too much force. Is there a way to make crafts 100% indestructible?

Yes, and an old one, you'll have to invert such surfaces if you want to keep the sweep.
Thanks, I had to invert the roll controls also, but I finally got it to work so the SAS kept the plane stable.
-
I built a plane and when I flew it and pressed the Down arrow key the control surfaces went up and the nose went up. Then I changed the shape of the wings and now when I push the Down arrow key the control surfaces go down and the plane's nose goes down. Is this a bug, or am I not understanding something?

I’d like to see what this plane is that’s giving you trouble. I can think of no planes in real life that use a ramp.
…other than being another word for the apron, which is the paved area immediately in front of the hangar. But that’s not what you’re asking about!
The plane is small and has no wheels to reduce weight and air friction. I can't use the runway to takeoff because the plane crashes when it hits the first bump in the runway, but it slides on the ground well so I figured I could put a ramp in front of it to launch it in the air.

I want to build a ramp to help get my plane flying. How can I build a ramp that isn't attached to the plane, but when I go to launch the plane both the plane and the ramp are put on the runway?

A publicly accessible N1 craft file would increase the number of people who can have a hands-on experience of an N1 mission.

For those looking for a craft file, here is how you can build the N1, then save it in the VAB as a craft file and voila, future usage availability. Took me less than 10 minutes to build it.
Could you post your craft file of your N1 somewhere, maybe as pull request to the main Soviet Rockets github repo? Getting the staging right on big rockets like this is where most of the time is spent when I build them.

I did a search for "N1" here and didn't get any hits: https://github.com/KSP-RO/RealismOverhaul/tree/master/Ships/VAB
Is the craft file for the N1 called something else?

Is there supposed to be a .craft file for the N1 rocket when we download the Soviet Rockets zip?

[1.8.0-1.12.5] AtmosphereAutopilot 1.6.1

When I use the AA code in my script the flight controls don't move. Are we supposed to open the AA control panel in order for the scripted AA to work?
edit: I figured out the problem, Atmosphere Autopilot does not engage when the plane is on the ground, so I had to just give it a slight increase in pitch for 2 seconds to get it in the air, then the AA took over and went to the altitude I wanted.
