Landing at a waypoint


Recommended Posts

While landing a rocket near a target is very simple, because you see the "anti-vector" () of the target position on the navball, landing precisely near a waypoint it's impossible. 

When you set the navigation, in the navball only appear the waypoint vector and not the "anti-vector". So when you are landing, and of corse your rocket is facing the sky, you don't have any clue if you are going in the right way, because you don't see the direction (the marker is in the other half of the navball, and you can see it only pointing the spacecraft "nose-down").

Anyone knows a mod that add it? I've searched for a while now, and it surprise me that there isn't a plug-in out there for this simple problem. I've tried waypoint manager, that add the waypoing on flight mode, and searched for a non-exsisting uptated version of enhanced navball

You could also try this 

If you choose your target, no matter if it's a vessel or waypoint, it shows you how far from it you'll land. Works flawlessly in the atmosphere as well, yesterday I managed to land a rover within 700m from my Duna base (because I used chutes, if I chose to land only on engine power, I could probably get even closer, the mod showed me predicted distance of 100m).
