Need rover autopilot for 1.4.x

Bon voyage doesn't work in 1.4.x by @RealGecko

When I click the bon voyage icon in the toolbar nothing happens.

Mechjeb also has a autopilot but is completely bugged @sarbian

Currently there is no working roving autopilot for 1.4.x

I have no use for kOS because that is useful for specific routes where you can script your own navigation. It's good for transporting stuff and kerbals between bases.

I need a simple go anywhere autopilot which both of these mods provided.

@sarbian Said in the Mechjeb thread that he has no time to update his mods. But that was several pages back from august, maybe he has time now. He also suggested for others to take over from him, is anyone capable of doing this?

Either way I hope we can get a working rover autopilot back in the game because I would really need this.

  1. Mechjeb rover AP works fine, I just tested it to be sure. Most of the time when someone complain it does not they have their control part pointing the wrong way.
  2. I did not ask for anyone to takeover. I asked if anyone want to contribute. I am not dead, I am busy. And I posted on the thread 2 days ago.

@sarbian I knew you weren't dead and that you still posted on the forums. Sorry for misreading the other part in the thread.

Anyway, it does seem to work on a normal rover, meaning that mine isn't a regular one. I'm testing a new rover design where I attached all my rover wheels to LY-05 landing gear. The reason for this is because I want to use the landing gear as shock absorbers.

Apparently the autopilot cannot turn the rover wheels when they are attached to landing gear. I normally don't need the rover autopilot so haven't checked on other rovers. I wished I found out about this before posting. For some reason it also stops giving me any power after several seconds when the wheels are attached that way. I'm not sure why the autopilot cannot understand this. Maybe you have time and can iron this out some day.

As soon as I attached the rover wheels the normal way it was able to steer again.

I believe RealGecko said fare well over the winter, and handed out control of his mods to a variety of people.  You might want to look again and see if anybody else picked up BV.    I'd take a look at the last thread started by RG.
