Question Auto FCS Mod.... Can't find it anywhere on Google nor OHM

[Krishnan]

Hey y'all!
I have been seeing posts of an automatic reentry mod of some sorts called Auto FCS.
I tried searching on Google and OHM yet I can't find it anywhere....
Does anyone know what is the mod and where I can find it?
I am interested in doing a fully automated reentry and landing with the XR5, just curious.
Thanks!

As I understand it AFCS was/is part of the Shuttle Fleet for 2010. AFCS does not work in 2016 though.

Shuttle Fleet and AutoFCS was pulled from OHM many years ago by the creator, IIRC.

There's something over at Dansteph's forum

Shuttle Fleet 4.8 (or latest publicly consumable version) and all the trimmings.

Yes it out there. But AFCS doesn't work in 2016. You get a CTD. No code source available either

Yes, of course it's for 2010. Nobody mentioned 2016.
And as for OP's intentions, I'm pretty sure there's no more 2010 compatible XR Fleet around.

To avoid any confusion XR fleet is perfectly up-to-date for Orbiter 2016 : https://www.alteaaerospace.com/index-3.html

TL;DR of all the above comments: There was an add-on called AutoFCS in Orbit Hangar for Orbiter 2010, but its creator david413 migrated all his add-ons to Simviation. AutoFCS is currently available with Shuttle Fleet, but it does not work with Orbiter 2016 and there's no source code available for it.

My additional remarks: @Krishnan if you want to do a "fully automated reentry and landing with the XR5", use either HoverMFD or PursuitMFD, although both will allow automated vertical reentry and landing only. For automated horizontal reentry, use GlideslopeMFD. Horizontal landing is manual-only.
