Can someone give me a protip on the best way to find planet coords? My current method takes forever and I would rather jab a knife in my eye than go thru that exercise again.
Are these crash sites like davs hope where a POI shows up on the nav panel after the first discovery?
Easy surface navigation:
1 Approach with body on your left.
This keeps the coordinates in space so you can actually read them.
2 As soon as the compass hud appears but
before you enter orbital flight, 0 throttle, level off and check the top number on the lower right display.
This is your latitude.
If it's higher than you want, head directly south, ie 180.
If it's lower, head north ie 0.
Whole numbers, even tens, are sufficient.
3 While you approach that latitude check the longitude, the second number.
If its higher than you want, you will need to turn to 270, or due west.
If it's lower head to 90, due east.
4 Land.
Just yaw to change altitude and use pitch to change heading.
As long as you stay high it's fast and easy.
Turning takes about 5-10 deg if you manage your speed, and account for about 10 descending.
When you get better you can split angles to save some time.
