Hmmm I don’t think I am getting it right… only crashes. :frowning:

Is there a speed or angle that it has to be when landing?

No, it comes from MIT.

Cursor keys:
Up → Thrust
Left/Right → Rotation

Land on the platform softly

@lilithc seems so easy right?

Were you able to land it ‘softly’?

Abel,

Use the Up arrow keys to control thrust and side arrows to control angle. You have to slow at just the correct rate and get your Y vector speed as close to 0 (and be vertical) as possible when approaching the pad.

In the instructions it shows you can also use WASD, but I prefer arrows.

I did successfully land once, but it is a bit of a learning curve.

No. But since I’m at work I can only spend a little time with it.

Acknowledged.

This is why computers land the lander, not humans…
