Hey everyone So I've searched this forum for a solution on how to control a vessel from within a plugin. I did find an answer which suggested using the OnFlyByWire, but it is incapable of doing what I want. Here's the short story: I'm creating a mod that plays an authentic count-down sound on launch, and then finally launches the rocket automatically. The sound playing works, and the launching works. What I would like is to make the plugin automatically throttle full up before launch. To do this I've attempted something like this: public void Start() { FlightGlobals.ActiveVessel.OnFlyByWire += new FlightInputCallback(fly); } And then do something like: private void fly(FlightCtrlState e) { if (!didLaunch) e.mainThrottle = 1.0f; } Now this works to a certain extend. As long as the rocket has not yet launched, but is still on the countdown, the bool didLaunch is false, and as such the main throttle remains 100%. The problem happens as soon as the rocket activates the stage automatically and launches, as at this point, e.mainThrottle does not remain at 100% but resets to 0%. I obviously need it to stay there. How would I go about achieving this? And as a bonus question if anything feels so inclinced to answer it Another problem I'm facing is that my plugin currently only activates the first stage. Unfortunately I do not know whether or not the user has used those launch legs that you need to decouple in order to fly off. If the user have used these, and they are in the first stage it is obviously not a problem. If, however, they are in, say, the second stage, my plugin would only activate the first stage and thus the rocket would not really have launched. I've thought that maybe my only option is to somehow check all the parts of the vessel and make sure those legs are not included in the list, and if they are, I will have to keep activating stages until the one with the legs have been activated. Would this approach work? Thank you all very much for your time
