Many thanks for the feedback.
For the "reduced friction" issue, a "user-brake" should be enough.
So it's up to the user, to decide, if it's a good time for a final brake or not.
If the vessel flips-over caused by the final brake, it would be an pilot-error.
I am still trying to find workaround for the sliding-problem, which happens with other vessels, too.
Maybe a MFD, which creates a phantom-vessel in landed/IDLE state at current position and attaches the user-controlled vessel....something like this...(like MS2015 does).
Regarding PursuitMFD:
I am still using "my" 2016-compat-build. And don't have such problems.
With the new released PursuitMFD2016, I have multiple issues.
I guess it works "too precise", and this causes problems on my system:
-If using docking-mode
=the MFD acts too precise (somewhere in the nano-meter-range ?).
So if using the default Atlantis for example, I am runniing out of fuel during docking....too many never ending RCS-bursts.
-landing-mode tried on Mars (stock DG)
sometimes it works..sometimes I got strange results, which might end up to a crash-landing. In my case, this could be an issue with low-MFD-refresh-rate. My system is not strong enough to use higher refresh rate-settings.
And thanks for clarifying the LUNAR-mode..makes complete sense to me now.
Ups...I have just realized, that you have allready updated the MAV with a dedicated launch-mode:thumbup:.
I will give it a try now.......
I have tried to setup the launcher, and "MODE 0" does now do the trick (gears not extended), but how to get remove the HIAD for a moon-mission ?
My SCN looks like this:
MAV:MAV\MAV
STATUS Landed Earth
POS 177.3981678 -2.5194793
HEADING 270.11
ALT -577821515.249
AROT 0.000 -0.000 0.000
ATTACHED 1:0,Jarvis_B
AFCMODE 7
PRPLEVEL 0:1.000000
IDS 0:588 100
NAVFREQ 0 0
XPDR 468
MODE 0
LUNAR
END
But its shows still the HIAD until separation.
After separation from the second-stage, the HIAD is gone(might be caused by the LUNAR-flag).
Is ther a way to force the HIAD not to be visible during launch(if using "LUNAR" flag)?
If so, the MAV would matches the Jarvis 10-meter diameter fairing perfectly.
EDIT:
Just completed a moon-test mission:
-TS Tugboat to ISS via Quasar SHLV
-MAV (in LUNAR mode...on top of a Jarvis-B) launched into ISS's plane
-for the crew...launched the Orion (Jarvis-B) to the ISS to meet the TS Tugboat
-TS Tugboat catched-up the waiting MAV
-off-plane Moon transfer with MAV docked to tugboat
-reached circular orbit around the moon at an altitude of 125 km
-undocked the MAV and used PursuitMFD(the old version) to set-up the automated landing
=
all went fine, the MAV started to descent without any issues (cross-range to base about 3.9 km...initial altitude still 125 kms)
right after landing, the vessel stopped...no sliding around.
So...all in all...a complete success so far.
The only issue is the visual glitch with the HIAD in "LUNAR launch-mode" as I mentiond before.
