•VTOL cone: a circle on the circular display indicates how far your ship is from the vertical touchdown vector as a function of altitude, as altitude decreases, the circle gets smaller, green if the ship is within the cone and landing on target is possible, red if the ship is outside the cone. The cone will not appear if the receiver is not selected to a VTOL transmitter.<br> | •VTOL cone: a circle on the circular display indicates how far your ship is from the vertical touchdown vector as a function of altitude, as altitude decreases, the circle gets smaller, green if the ship is within the cone and landing on target is possible, red if the ship is outside the cone.
