I am impressed how precise the VTOL approach in a mission is performed thanks to VTOL Airbrake.
Since I also want to use the procedure without having to create and fly a mission, I wrote a script that does this via switch on the transmitter:
As landing coordinates, the home point coordinates at which the last arming took place are taken over.
As soon as you pull a switch e.g. in FBWA during an approach, a mission is generated, which creates a waypoint with the current flight altitude at this point and a NAV_VTOL_LAND waypoint at the homepoint as well and switches the aircraft into auto mode.
A created mission looks like this:
Two variables (MIN_DIST, MAX_ALT) are used to prevent a mission approach that is too close or too high.
Of course it is unavoidable that any mission in memory is replaced. Since the weather is bad, I have tested the script slightly modified (due to a missing switch on the missionplanner simulator) first in the MP - simulator.
I hope to be able to test the script under real conditions in the next weeks.
