OHM Universal Autopilots 0.3.1

The HCLV has it's own autopilot, I'm not sure if they'd get along. Although I admit I've not tried it myself.

Yeah its a bit funny going into orbit and does not track the heading correctly to lower the RInc for the ISS.

Another question. How can i enter null values? In the config, for example, there is: "lift_off(engine=main,target=ISS,pitch_tgt=30,pitch_duration=130,off_duration=5,mode=2)". But in the MFD there is a heading value. So how do i enter that as a null value in the MFD?

What do you mean by "null value"?
If a value is not given in the config, then some default is picked on start.
 
Ah OK, so if i target the ISS with the default heading of 90, will it adjust the heading to the correct one? It seems to in the scenario file.
 
Target have a higher priority than the heading.
So, if you have target, it would follow the target's heading.
If you have heading without target, it would follow the heading.
If you have nothing, it would launch towards the default, which was 90* i think.

Similar in other autopilots, with defaults being arbitrary, common or current state (location, heading, etc), depending on my mood at the time.
 
Thanks for the explanation!

I just ran the default Launch Dragon to ISS scenario but it failed on the trans orbit step as it says it got lost. Anyone else ran that one successfully?
 
I'm also having trouble with the FalconX Heavy 9with XR2 attached) using the UAP. It decreases the plane OK but has trouble making an orbit. It goes to 250k but then charshes into earth as the ApA and PeA are both to far away.
 
I can't seem to get the autopilot to work correctly. when I load DG from runway to ISS it bounces around the runway and doesn't take off. also which dragon do I need for launch-dragon to ISS?
 
The manual is a bit lacking on information and / or i'm just confused......

Tools "autopilot"

• mode defines what to do (What are the modes?)
• param is the sound to make (what are the sound param's)

In the sample scenarios you have a few examples of the tools commands, ie tools(type=0,key=g), but in the manual there is no mention of "type"? what are the different types?
 
Yeah, this thing is long dead.
I should have the sources in the archives somewhere, can dump them on github if anyone likes to try fixing it and updating to the modern Orbiter version.
I no longer have the means to do it.
