Question BaseLandAutopilot problems

[vibester27]

BaseLandAutopilot would be great if I could get it to work. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. With the four glider scenario that came with it, it works great. When I try to sync up with my Moon base not so good. I can see from the map that I'm going right over my base, however when I start baseland I start to climb higher my speed picks up and I start to drift away from my base, I let it run for half an hour, still going up. I'm on the ground in five minutes in the four glider scenario, not sure what the problem is.
Thanks

Could you post (using the code brackets) the scenario just prior to you activating Baseland ?

What are your orbital parameters? If you're too high in altitude or too high/low in inclination the autopilot is gonna flip out.

...Baceland ?

Evil_Onyx, that sort of post should really go in the Bacement, you know.
Ahem....

Anyway, back on topic, what Eli13 said was right. If I remember right, the autopilot needs you to pass over the base with a max altitude of about 20km - and you need to pass pretty close side-to-side ways too.

Yep, couldn't put it better than the author:

Warning: At this time there is no query inside the APprogram that your orbit is synchronized with your target base! I prefer to use BaseSyncMFD to do this. You can get it here: http://koti.mbnet.fi/jarmonik/Orbiter.html

Make Sure that your distance over base is so small as possible, but in any case more little than
10km. Make sure that your altitude over base is more little that 20km, better 10km.
(If you have bigger deviations it is even possible that you reach your target base alive, but there is no guarantee ;-) )

Thanks for all the help, doing a perfect landing now!:thumbup:

Just discovered this awesome MFD and it flawlessly worked straight out-of-the-box the first time i used it!! WOW!

Welcome back to bace!
