Right now the program just does one type of landing burn and the thrust level needs to be hardcoded before launch. I.E. You need to specify if landing burn should be at roughly 60% thrust or 90% and then the rocket will execute it.
Sometimes the rocket will have quite a lot of fuel left before landing and will be able to do a longer landing burn at around 60% throttle, which makes stearing a bit easier, but other times it may have to do a low margin landing at around 90% to minimize gravity losses. Very low margin landings may require using 3 engies instead of one for the most efficient landings.
Since it's not always possible to predict with enough precision how much fuel the rocket will have left after re-entry burn, the script should be able to decide what kind of landing to perform.
