    you can use a mod called mechjeb to land fully automatically and all you have to do is set up a few action groups to switch between the amount of merlin engines. there are tutorials on how to do this on a drone ship or at the ksc.

    „In stock its unposible“ Me who play only stock: why did i land 3 times on it?
  • @Cronkl_
    I’ve noticed, for myself atleast. The landing legs can be rather buggy. I’ve had them explode on the launch pad with no pressure excreted on them, plus they sometimes make my rocket shake uncontrollably on the ground when I land my rockets. Any ideas why?
  • @mrlutrox
    Me has dado la inspiracion para yo aterrizar mis cohetes y no usar mechjeb XD
  • I wouldn't call stock target landing impossible, just rather difficult
