I am still working on an auto reuse rocket that can accurately land on the landing pad. I want to use fins to control pitch and yaw (like grid fins on falcon 9), but I do not know how to know which fins to use to do what. If my rocket rolls during launch, than the fins it should use would change. Is there any way to roll to the correct heading accurately or change which fins I use based on the heading?

    @JSO18 I solved this. If you don’t want a complicated program there is a way to do it. Select the nav setting. There is a roll axis in the drop down.

    @JSO18 I wrote a program. I can share it. I will explain how it works on the post.

    @Tweedle_Aerospace that is a smart idea. I will try that. The one problem would be when I am falling vertically, there would not be a highest one, but I could probably do the same think with x or y.

    I think J figured it out. Try getting the part position of each fin and then get the z out of it. The highest one should be the one on top.
