To reiterate the quote, RCS translation and rotation both off, RCS on, when control input is entered for RCS, TCA zeros the thrust limiter of the RCS in the direction of the input. One major use case here is docking of ships on the surface (one sitting on the ground), letting TCA hold an altitude or slowly descend above the target, while guiding the horizontal translation to the docking port with RCS and a docking aid like docking port alignment indicator.

Thoughts? Hm, I need to test it, but by design nothing should prevent using translational keyboard controls, wether the "Translation" and "Rotation" options are On or Off. I've docked a ship using RCS only many times with TCA enabled (albeit in space). The "RCS Translation" option tells TCA if it itself is allowed to use translational controls for small course corrections, instead of conventional rotate-and-burn operation. The "RCS Rotation", on the other hand, when disabled, effectively disables RCS when only rotational controls are used. So both options do nothing to prevent using the translational controls by yourself. What could cause the described behavior is there RCS balancing itself, which, when you use only translational controls, modifiers limiters to keep generated torque at zero. In an unbalanced craft this could lead to effectively disabled RCS. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tokamak 297 Posted May 21 This mod is massively helpful. Thank you! However, one thing does make it a lot harder to use. A lot of UI elements show whether they are disabled or enabled by displaying either a pale yellow, or a pale yellowish green, which are almost impossible for me to tell apart. I _am_ partly red/green colourblind, so this may not be the case for everyone, but I suppose it's something to be aware of. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa 0 Posted June 1 TCA is really useful for all kinds of fancy aircrafts with jet engines! However, I didn't manage to make it work with rotors + propellers or heli blades from Breaking Ground. Is this a known issue of I'm doing something wrong? Could not find discussions of any issues about this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tokamak 297 Posted June 1 (edited) Is there a way to get TCA to peacefully co-exist with MechJeb? What I mean is... can I make a craft whose default thrust isn't quite balanced, use TCA to keep it balanced so it doesn't flip when it thrusts, and then have mechjeb deal with its orientation and throttle, so I can use stuff like the mechjeb rendezvous autopilot or lander? Basically, can I use TCA to keep my craft balanced without all of the other (admittedly very useful) features? Enabling and disabling various TCA modules seems to result in one of two states: Either TCA has total control and Mechjeb can't even set my orientation... or the craft spins and crashes due to unbalanced thrust. I hope that question makes sense. Edit: Another problem I'm having is with the orbital land-at-target function, and the "jump to" function. Both of them just give the message "target should be a vessel or waypoint", even when I have a vessel targeted. I get the same message when I use the "add as waypoint" function, to make a waypoint at the location of my target. Clearly I am somehow fundamentally misunderstanding how this all works. I just want to make a ground base, and land a craft near it. Edited June 1 by Tokamak Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for the maneuver planner, you can use MJ to plan the maneuver, then TCA's own maneuver execution to actually perform it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've done this all on the fly to-I've done it just by enabling TCA and the right modules on a ship in flight, and then using MechJeb to execute once or twice.

DStaal 2,315 Posted June 1 Mostly because MechJeb assumes you knew what you were doing when you picked a landing point - and then doesn't actually guarantee you'll land there, depending on how well your ship is designed. TCA doesn't assume the landing point is clear, and checks - but then may move you around a bit. Still, for a couple of rovers I've had, the difference between running out of fuel a km over the surface or running out of fuel a few meters over the surface has made a difference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tokamak 297 Posted June 1 (edited) I've gotten MechJeb and TCA to play nice by turning off all of the TCA modules during flight, but leaving TCA itself still active. This means I can use MechJeb autopilot features. Hooray! I'm still having that weird thing I mentioned before, though: Using TCA, any attempt to use "jump to" or "go to" or "land" just gives the message "target should be a vessel or a waypoint", even when my target is a vessel. *scratches head* Edit: Oh, I think I get it, at least partly. TCA has its own concept of "waypoints", that don't seem to correspond to the waypoints that Waypoint Manager uses. I think that's something to do with it Edited June 1 by Tokamak Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
