The standard StageRecovery could work with couple concessions: Have enough TWR/fuel and parachutes to convince the addon it is enough to land safely. Recovery efficiency goes down with distance from KSC. Which is weird for space plane, since it should land back on KSC airstrip and only spend small amount of fuel doing so. My enhancement above can mitigate both as long as you use a proven space plane for each launch.

Hello Everyone, I have an announcement, but firstly let me thank Magico13 for all his work, it's a great addon. I have made an enhancement to StageRecovery before Magico13 announced stepping back from modding. I was hoping he'd consider merging my changes but that is unlikely to happen now. So I'm forced to release my enhancement on my own as "StageRecovery RGU". I have added a new part called Recovery Guidance Unit (RGU) and a new resource called RecoveryValue. When StageRecovery RGU attempts to recover a vessel it now looks for RGU and if there is non-zero Recovery Value entered, it automatically succeeds in recovery and uses the provided value rather than calculating it as usual. The RecoveryValue is supposed to be truthfully entered by the player upon trialing the vessel manually a few times and it is assumed the player is confident that the recovery can be repeated with similar results. Check out my video to see it in action: StageRecovery RGU can be downloaded here: https://github.com/PaletzTheWise/StageRecoveryRGU/releases My fork currently includes the fix Magico has provided for https://github.com/magico13/StageRecovery/issues/47 , so if anybody sees anything weird happening with vessels on Kerbin, please tell me. If you guys can trial the recovery then you could probably use Recovery Guidance Unit. This could be also caused by timewarp. If you use timewarp, try lowering factor before impact or try the build with fix provided by Magico himself, see https://github.com/magico13/StageRecovery/issues/47
