Greetings Orbiters! :)

I have a little Problem with the Soyuz TMA AddOn wich comes with Thortons great ISS.

I planned the reentry with Base-Sync (Soyuz Landing Site) and Aerobreak MFD. I want to contoll pitch, roll and yaw manually to make a spot on landing, but after seperating from both Modules the ballistic reentry mode is allredy enabled and as far as I know, I cant switch it back to controlled reentry. That was very sad, because with ballistic reentry I landed hundreds of miles away from the Soyuz Landing Site :(

So my questions:
- Is there a chance to switch back from ballistic to controlled reentry?
or
- Is it a mistake that ballistic reentry is enabled directly after seperation and is it possible to fix this problem?

Greetings and thanks for your help! :cheers:

Ballistic mode is random event, but if you have constant ballistic reentry just delete line BALLISTIC from scenario file.
Once ballistic mode has been initiated you cant switch back.

Ok, I'll try this instantly :)
 
Notice that controlled reentry is a semi-automatic mode. Pitch and Yaw are pre-defined, but you can controll the Roll channel, and slightly orient the heat shield to produce lift on the direction that you want.
