Problem Spacecraft 3 Vessel has upside down landing points

[jedimaster1214]

Okay, here's my project so far...

I've tried my hand at modeling, and I'm using spacecraft3 to start with...

Think of it as an ISS Module with an engine, and landing gear for non-atmospheric flight...

The only problem is, my ship is upside down when landed.:facepalm:

Here's the SC3 code and a screenshot... Is there something i'm missing, or is there something else???

Also, no my LAND_PT's aren't wrong, that's where the center of the 'feet' are in the mesh...

I've had this happen before, though while using C++ since I've never developed with SC3. Take a look at the settouchdownpoints function in the API reference. There's a specific order at work here which defines the vessel's upward direction while landed.

Hmmm... I see what you mean. I found what you're talking about on pg. 349, and it makes sense. I'll try re-orderering the LAND_PT's until it's rightside up...

Here's the screenshot i was talking about, i didn't see it in the original post for some reason....

Well, you've got the vessel's local upward vector inverted, but it does also look like the vertical position component is inverted too. I'd flip the signs around on them and see if at least the points pop into where your vessel's feet actually are.

Ok, i got rid of LAUNCH_PT's, and switched LAND_PT 1 with 2, and 3 with 4, and also changed all of the LAND_PT's Z-Axis' from -5.5 to 5.5. That inverted the vessels upward vector. And it points up now!
I also docked with an xr2 for size reference...
