Description
Whenever I enable the Aircraft Approach & Autoland the planes crashes instandly as MechJeb sets the Target Altitude to -212608 meter. This bug occurs since MechJeb 2.10.0.0
Replication Case
This bug happens with each one of my planes and is not deticated to a single design.
KSP.log
After some test for the other bug I submitted I was able to reproduce the error more precisely. Whenever I engage the autopilot above 1000 meters everything is fine but below it sets the target altitude for the first nav point somewhere deep below base ground. I hope this helps a bit more. In case you need more details just leave a comment.
Thanks for the update.
I created a PR to fix this issue, so once the PR is merged it should be working again (in the dev build for now). I was using the wrong KSP method to convert the altitude back to a vector. This should only affect cases where the aircraft is below the glideslope when you engage autoland . If you start your descent above the glideslope, everything should be fine.
MechJeb Version (DEV RELEASE)
2.10.0.0-1001
Engaging aircraft approach and autoland below the slope sets the target altitude now correctly.
However, I recognized a short drop of the current vertical speed whenever I engaged aircraft approach and autoland after I engaged aircraft autopilot. Sometimes it could even drop into negative values. After a couple of seconds the current vertical speed matches again the target vertical speed and everything is fine.
