Finally manage to land this thing using the great sage @ManEatingApe magical script. She is a beast with 6 engine, 63.27 tonnage. Take off at 00:00:08 Land at 00:27:14 27 minutes 6 sec around kerbin. Top speed 2810m/s. Check the flight video here: https://youtu.be/9fPX5IwG-GE (i dont know how to embed video ) Find the plane and magical script here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1xiIxmVsjOt6IJWMg1qiyYz8ScMUEYRvf?usp=sharing

@ManEatingApe Holy! your script is truly magical! My plebeian brain cannot fully understand the magical nature it contains. So i try to cheat that magical script a bit and behold, i'm flying at 2820 m/s with no hand on steering wheel (or.. stick, whatever...). just a little bit more, i might reach destination.. if i could figure out the magical spell needed to land this thing. Just in case anybody interested to try, you can find my plane and the magical script here. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1xiIxmVsjOt6IJWMg1qiyYz8ScMUEYRvf?usp=sharing All credits go to the great sage @ManEatingApe for creating this magic.

@ManEatingApe I had to move the COL wayyyy back to make it stable, i can't even fly the plane if COL is near COM. How do you manage to fly borderline stable plane? I clearly have a lot to learn. I have try several KOS script, but i like yours because it looks so much simpler and efficient. But i really have problem understanding them, set steeringmanager:pitchpid:kp to 5.0 seems to solve the crashing problem, but why? Would you mind sharing your wisdom to us beginners how it work? maybe start a new thread especially for that? I believe a lot of us beginners are struggling to use KOS script. I try google "set steering to heading" but cannot find other script that use that command (not even in the KOS documentation), most script use LOCK steering to heading.

Hi @ManEatingApe, thanks for the reply. I have uploaded my plane to google drive, here is the link https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1xiIxmVsjOt6IJWMg1qiyYz8ScMUEYRvf?usp=sharing if i fly manually, i can reach the intended altitude just fine. where did i do wrong? Its same script, i just change the heading to 90 instead of 270. I am to lazy to rotate the plane on the runway. (Btw i did try to rotate the plane and use exact same script, same result though). Thanks!

Hi ManEatingApe, i have been trying to use your script to fly my plane but couldn't make it work. I edited the heading to 90 instead of 270. The plane take off just fine, then rise up arround 30-40 degree and slowly leveling up at 5000m then start heading down and crash. I know my plane got enough trust (4 rapier), why it start levelling up by itself while it have not reach the intented altitude? (34700 in your script.). Thanks.

Hi, i am newbie here. I just start playing KSP. So far i have managed to build several plane and fly them, landing is not an option though. So, im interested in learning KOS script to automatically fly and land them. Does anyone have a sample script that i can use? Thank you very much!
