I would really appreciate, if LolaMFD could be updated.
I run version LolaMFD_082010. It works with Orbiter2016 and guides the vessel right above the targeted landing pad. But it is fooled by the planetary mean radius, which is different from the actual altutude above ground.
Example: For Brighton Beach the final approach ends about 2000 m above ground, with a perfect zero forward speed. LoalMFD shuts the engine down when the (theoretical) height is zero. From here the vessel drops vertically to the ground, where it impacts right on the landing pad, unless it is slowed down manually.
I guess it would be sufficient to switch the oapiGetAltitude() call for the final approach to the new altitude mode ALTMODE_GROUND.
The recompiled PursuitMFD found here, http://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?p=540855&postcount=37, works in Orbiter 2016, and has the same functionality.
