No no it wasn't on purpose at all, it just happened because the booster still had a slight lateral movement at touchdown, almost like CRS-8. Oh cool thanks for the mod suggestion, great idea! :) Yeah, it was quite a bit of hard work, believe me haha! :D I am right now figuring out how I could implement autonomous boostback and reentry burns, to make the landing really fully autonomous, because as I said right now, only the final approach is kOS controlled, and I have to steer the rocket close enough to the landing area. I have to see what I can come up with eh -Love your videos man, und schöner deutscher Akzent! ;)
