Hit the ground too fast!:rofl:

I'm not sure if there is a keyboard control for that, I have dual throttles on my joystick so I just assign the 2nd throttle to either the hover or retro engines. Depending on the type of controller you use, you may be able to use Fly by wire (orbithanger) to assign a control to handle your hover engines. Won't be instant, but almost as good.

What vessel are you flying? With XR-class vessels you can kill hover thrust with CTRL-NUMPAD*.

Doug, I'm flying the XR5 and the XR1. I will try ctrl-*.
The reason I asked was, I use the hover engines when in orbit to adjust my inclination. I like to use the prograde AP then adjust my inclination with hover engines.

Cool technique, desertman. I enjoy trying new maneuvers like that, I'll have to give it a go.
