I’m working on a fully reusable auto-orbit rocket and am a little stuck. I’ve mostly figured out the auto-orbit (but it is very fragile and janky) and am just polishing it, but i’m stuck on the booster return. Idk how to automatically switch to it without using “switch to craft: ID) Ty in advance :3

    @deepfriedfrenchtoast yeah, so you’d need to change the vizzy after every damn flight T-T

    @Fyrem0th that number also changes depending on how many crafts are in the SOI of the planet, Making it pretty much useless.

    @deepfriedfrenchtoast yeah, so you have to use the annoying number that appears after the name on spent stages, which is really impractical lol

    @CloakPin i’ve noticed that, and assumed that the number after the name was what vizzy meant by “craft id” but it’s different every time, so wouldn’t you have to re-type the craft ID after every flight?

    I believe you need to use the name of the craft after it separates from the main command pod.
    If you launch the craft and check its name in the map view, youll see that the main craft and separated craft have slightly different names.
    Example;
    Main craft name: Starship
    Separated craft name: Starship01
    Record the given separated craft name and then go back in the studio to adjust vizzy.

    I dont think theres a way to switch craft without using the 'switch to craft' instruction. Using the 'Planet -name- __' function set to display a list of craft IDs also doesnt seem to work for me, im guessing that only command pods and chips that were set as primary from launch count as crafts, so any probes or stages seperated from the main craft after launch dont count as their own crafts.

    Well I just searched “change craft using vizzy”
    …….
    There are a few results out there so you might wanna try doing that…. Cause you could be waiting a while for answer here (there are several recent posts on here that still remain unanswered).
    ……..
    If I used vizzy and knew, I would tell you. But I don’t.
