Bug Reports
Always tell me the code version and any mods that you may be using!

Please leave your bug reports here. Try and provide with as much info about your setup as possible so we can solve the problems that you are having promptly!

Always run the code with the argument "setup" BEFORE you attach the drop pod to your ship! This will often tell you what is wrong/missing with your drop pod!

Doesn't work, simply says I'm missing a thruster.

That means you have no upwards breaking thrust on your drop pod

But I do, there's most definately an atmo thruster there. I even added the (up) in the name, as it wasn't there before.

Is is up relative to the drop pod controller? Also, check ownership.

Do you mean cockpit/remote? If so, yes. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=934721547

That's my drop pod, just a supply case really.

Your remote is oriented improperly. It should face like THIS. The glowey part denotes forward, not up :)

Duh. I've never looked at the remotes much since the model updates. Thanks very much, now I have the mini supply pods dumped out at high orbit :)

That's unfortunate. Does the code not detect the thrusters?

Nope they just smash into the ground but when replaces with atmo thrusters they work

The most likely reason for this is that the Azimuth Thrusters have funky default orientations. This code is based off of vanilla WorldMatrix orientations.

Not much I can do to fix that since I don't mess with mods.

Ok thanks. I have noticed it turns them on and thrusts with them but does not thrust enough for the ship not to crash although it has enough thrust to lift itself.

Could you get around mods and orientation by using a code tag or group name for all thrusters poining the right way?

Then people could set the tag/group on the relevant thrusters to make them compatible with odd thruster setups right?

dont know if your aware but me and a friend have been using this script but time and again we both keep running into the same problem and that is HILLS!?! when we land we are slowing down enough but the code doesnt seem to account for the hill/hills not even 4 or more meters away
