📋 About This Mod
Almost Perfect
Flight v5. 8
Ship flight and landings in NMS have always troubled me. So, after much experimenting I offer this humble mod for your enjoyment
Notes:
There are now also two versions of Almost Perfect Flight. A Lite version with less aggressive multipliers for those who prefer a closer to vanilla experience and is the recommended version to use. Mini-warping will now disengage when entering a planet atmosphere so you should no longer impact the terrain :)
Lite Boosts
boostMult = 1. 25
boostMxSp = 2. 5
speedMult = 1. 5
thrstMult = 1. 5
warpSMult = 2. 2
And the Full version retaining all the previous settings with the following multipliers applied. This can be a little twitchy depending on your ships manoeuvrability bonus.
Full Boosts
_boostMult = 1. 5
_boostMxSp = 2. 0
_speedMult = 2. 5
_thrstMult = 1. 5
_warpSMult = 2. 5
Hopefully these changes will cater to both those whom enjoy a 'closer to vanilla' experience with the benefit of 'hover-in-place' and much smoother landings. And those who just want fast ships, hover-in-place, softer landings with 'slightly' overclocked multipliers to get around just that bit quicker)
Optional No Reverse versions are now available for both Almost Perfect Flight Lite / Full.
Provides the following changes:
-
[]Boost Multipliers (Optional)[/]
[]Min Speed (0. 01) (Optional)[/]
[]Launch Cost (30%) (Optional)[/]
[]Allows Hovering in Atmosphere[/]
[]Allows Reverse in Atmosphere[/]
[]Landing Curves Modified[/]
[]Remove Mini Warp Metric Lines[/]
[]Altitude that triggers Solar Sails Anim[/]
[]Speed at which Solar Sails Open / Close[/]
[]Aligns Anomaly to your ship when called[/]

⚠️ Cons

- Test flight in both atmosphere and space to feel the differences.
