Request Script Vessels Update to Open Orbiter

[misha.physics]

I just wanted to ask if it's possible to land on the ship, namely do touchdown points of a vessel interact with the ship deck, so the vessel doesn't sink under deck?

Unless it is somehow a part of the Earth's terrain, probably not. It looks like it works with docking attachments.

Yep, that's how it works. But is quite effective. Here's a video.

And Carrier

Thanks so much for demonstrating this. I thought the docking attachments can work only fod the vertical land on a specially defined point like for usual docking in space. But I see the aircraft moves (slides) continuously along the ship desk. I'm interested how it is implemented. Or there are just many attachment point on the desk (I doubt it)?

Yes, good point. Showing my limited Lua knowledge!
The scripts are available for disection in the addons so you guys should be able to work it out.
The movement along the deck is programmed in the script and is supposed to represent being pushed by a tug into the hold (without the tug)
