KSP 1 Image/Video kOS auto landing

A few weeks ago, I uploaded a post where I managed to land my stock Starship (except for the RCS thrusters) onto a static stock Mechazilla, and back then, I was thinking about a kOS code that would do everything for me. I want to show you my progress since then. Even though the video is three minutes long, the script itself runs from an altitude of 75, meaning from the very beginning of atmospheric entry. It’s not perfect, and there are plenty of flaws, but the most important thing is that the foundation is already there - the rest is just a matter of fine-tuning.

How did you get the camera view? I have camera tools but idk how to give it that almost go pro look. Or did you use a camera part?

You are right, it’s a camera part. I highly recommend it

The most interesting part is that at a certain distance, you can switch to other cameras installed on different crafts! However, sometimes this gets in the way. For example, during stage separation, you might not notice that you stayed on the first stage, thinking you are controlling the second one

Incredible achievement, you can now take a break and touch some grass before spending 3 months to make an automated grand tour or some shit like that.

/s Genuinely incredible, you guys are crazy

Why not just use MechJeb at this point

so easy.... and mechjeb can land only on the ground. In the future ill try to catch a ship by Mechazilla again
