Xyphos Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) I just installed MechJeb (again, even if I think its cheating to have autopilot)I wanted it just for the SMART A.S.S. portion while I tested a new SSTO spaceplane.however, whenever I enable MJ, it insists on flying the plane upside down, and then pulling up, crashing it into the water, no matter how I orient the command pod.anyone know why?---UPDATE---NEVER MIND, I AM A TOTAL DILLHOLE.besides MJ, I also added some parts that moved my CoM without my notice, the plane was rolling over due to the CoL being too low.

Guest Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 It would help if you asked in the correct subforum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theend3r Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I never fly planes or land using MJ as it's not foolproof (it had some problems back in 0.23 or so and I haven't used those features since) but there should be an option to hold bearing/rotation in Smart ASS and if you set the rotation to 0 it should try to hold it like that. Does the problem persist for other planes?(again, even if I think its cheating to have autopilot)It isn't, it's unrealistic to not have it.

Higgs Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) In truth, mechjeb needs a MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR overhaul. It has been getting wonkier and wonkier. I as well as my family have used it since .21 and when .90 hit things just started to circle the drain with it. It has issues that need to be fixed but seem ignored. But if you kid glove it it should work. I dont use the S.ass feature myself but id wager putting MJ on the roof may help.oh and if autopilots cheating then comparing to irl things, nasa, esa, jaxa, roscosmos, space x, and the guys who make cygnus as well as ALL modern pilots must be cheating..... Just sayin man Edited August 4, 2015 by Higgs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanamonde Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Seems like this has been resolved, and it's in the wrong section anyway. Move along. Nothing to see here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
