AUTOFCS with the XR5

[desertman]

Has anybody been able to get AUTOFCS working with the XR5?

I have followed the direction per the suggestions on the forum but when I engage AUTOFCS the ship starts spinning out of control.

Fresh install and named the directory 'ORBITERSTS' still freaks out when I start it.

Thanks

Yes, I did that with the XR5. But I disable it just as it line up with the runway. Then I use the autoland pilot to land. Otherwise it go into an spin. But I think there are a few versions of AutoFCS. Some may not be compatible.

Genius, what do your config files look like for AFCS. In AutoFCS it does not give the option of a runway and I could not get it to do the deorbit burn.

On a positive note I am able to get it to control the ship post deorbit burn but it seems to come very short of the intended base.

Thanks

Just copy and paste this to your earth.cfg file and save.
