Looking for a Auto rocket landing like the F9

You read the title, so basiclly im searching for a Add-on that you can tell where to land your reusable rocket,

And yes, I tried MechJeb, and it flips around the ship and crashes 1Km away from the landing zone,

FMRS is pretty old and MM doesnt let me open KSP with it

KOS requires scripting, and im not that good there.

Any ideas?

Do you need to actually watch the rocket land on your screen, or do you just want to recover the funds and crew on board?

Watch it land: Mechjeb or Throttle Controlled Avionics.

Recovery: Stage Recovery (maneuver periapsis so your crash point is near KSC, make sure there's enough spare fuel and a probe core, then take control of some other vessel and Stage Recovery will give you funds when the ship disappears below 25km).

Or Hyperedit: pretend that all the little details involved in landing happened off-screen, and use the Ship Lander to safely put your ship on the ground.

Something like, you detach yor payload, do orbit, etc and your first stage is in the landing zone landed, while you never control it, but it lands itself.

So kind of watch it land but not watching it.

To explain, once your payload is in orbit, you can switch to your first stage and it will be in the landing zone, standing on its landing legs.

Hyperedit sounds like the closest fit. If your 1st stage is suborbital you'll need to teleport it to the landing zone before it drops below 25km and disappears.
