Hello! Welcome to the forum post that accompanies the following craft link:

Craft link

What is this, what does it do?

Simply put, this is a flight program (distributed via a craft file) that you can save, and then import into your own crafts flight programs. It will pre-create a set of variables, matching the green, blue, and red names shown in the images below.

These variables can be used in your own scripts to aid into crafting automated movements at the launch complex (be it for rockets, planes, or anything!)

Main Location Reference Names (informative)

Actual RWPoint variable names (Main, and secondary launch pads)

To facilitate usage, some custom expressions are included, and can be seen in action in the examples:

    I wanted to upvote your program but I voted too much I will return here and give you my promised upvote point, because you deserve this very much. This program is very very very (did I mention... VERY...) useful, because I am looking for a very long time for a gps guided system, that can be rolled out on any planet, so that you can use this system on your ATV, rover, that you can find home and whereever you want to go. For instance you need a test parcours for rovers to examine which one has the best configuration, which one will lose this contest, and you can make a better suspension on your car for other planets. It does not make sense to make anything with anything, you have to check first at Droo, before you make a high cost sensible working fright to Brigo e.g. e.g. e.g. .... so I may say thank you to your interesting project, maybe this helps my gps program for vehicles

    @Probreyene
    You need to convert them with the expression first. The sphere coords are in lat/Lon/ASL not AGL

    i dont know the naming scheme and the guides didnt teach me to get the coords
    to be specific im trying to measure the distance between LP2BCenter and LP2FCenter and then i plopped the variables to get it in agl and pci vector. i skipped get lat/long/agl because i simply havent tried it out

    @EnceladusDynamics Not by default, you would need to measure the 4 corners of the runway, and record their positions in the code. If you measure it close enough, and the launch complex is the same layout, it should work just fine

    will this work on custom systems with custom VAB positions?

    @theUSSR nobody needs this. But if you want to automate land tasks at the launch complex, this gives you the a lot of the important taxiway, launch pad, and runway positions.
