project F9R-Dev2D ~1 minute read
F9R-Dev2D is a simplistic Falcon 9 landing game. It was originally created as a programming-exercise-slash-fun-toy, and as a result, the code could be far cleaner than it currently is.
To fly, use the arrow keys (or A
/D
for pitch and Shift
/Ctrl
for throttle); X
and Z
throttle to zero and full throttle,
respectively. If the pitch direction feels backwards, toggle “flip
left-right”.
Autopilot
The autopilot is designed only to land the Falcon 9 in either the f9r
rtls
or f9r rtls extreme
scenarios and with “hard mode” enabled.
Hard mode
The “hard mode” option simply reduces your gimbal range to realistic
levels and remaps the thrust from 0..1
to approximately 0.4..1
,
preventing unrealistically low throttle levels. It also tightens up
what’s a “failed landing”, so hard landings at twenty degrees of tilt
will count as a failure.
