I added a pic, but there really isn't a lot to see.  Read the OP to understand what it does

as of 1.12.5.3190 aug 30, 2023 this mod is not working.  I get pretty blue, red and grey LA icons, but it does nothing but fly me straight into the ground!

I started at 10Km burned retro full until 100 m/s flew down to 600m agl.  strarted clicking got blue .... nothing, cliked and got red ... got no yellow dot and still did nothing.  now at 400 AGL stared clicking like crazy and no matter what all I got was grey, blue and red LA icons nad nothing else until smashing into the ground.  Dewcided to be insane and tried it 4 more times exact same behavior.  I have click trough blocker and toolbar dcontroller installed so I meet the dependenciews but it appear this mod for 1.12.5 is borked!

I think you have something mixed up here. This mod does not control the vertical speed but prevents lateral drift, e.g. through laterally mounted RCS nozzles. Hence the name of the mod "Horizontal Landing Aid", which makes it possible to hover over a point.
To regulate the vertical speed, another mod is required:

This is also mentioned on page one here. Both mods are originally from the same modder and work together.

Edit: tested both mods together and they works fine.

thanks, guys sorry for the confusion I will give it another try

I have been using aiming with mechjeb surface velocity retrograde.  But if you accidentally go below zero velocity your ship flips upside down while you are literally at the surface and well boom!  Really frustrating.  I can deal with it going back up but dealing with  flipping upside down is a bugger

 

But I am still unclear on what is meant by "hover".  I would assume this mean hover over where I am.  I click hover and still go careening into the ground?
