Example of a "precision" landing. I think better landing UI will make this kind of thing a lot easier, and I have some ideas for that already. In Star Wars (and Star Citizen) some landing pads require you to descend through doors with very tight clearances. That needs to be possible with this. - ThreadSky

Looks quite good also I was surprised I'm not following you here so I remedied that.

Absolutely love this style of landing!

To me, this is exactly what landing should be like in every Sci-Fi game...

Could try the way elite dangerous does it although that seemed complicated to make work maybe
Also holyshit a vector cursor letsgooo

I have an idea (that may actually be a really bad idea, but I want to try anyway) of how to do a sort of "AR" version of the Elite UI, but honestly the Elite UI is peak for this kind of thing so I'll probably end up eventually just copying it.

Oh you know what, the x4 foundations docking ui wasn't bad either and seemed simpler, could def be better though which...is maybe you can come in

I had to look it up, because it's been a while. X4's was pretty similar to Elite's, though it had a greater emphasis on the nose being pointed in the correct direction. I think for mine, the exact orientation doesn't matter as position, since you're meant to be pitching and rolling while landing.
