Recently I had to abort a DreamChaser launch over the mid-Atlantic. Due to a pilots error I dropped back into the atmosphere.
Instead of quitting the simulation, I looked for an airport in Europe to make an emergency landing.
Surprise: There is none!
With the simulation temporarily suspended, I looked up the internet and found the Spaceport Cornwall, which is the Newquay Cornwall Airport.
As a hack, I copied the Habana base to this position and could make an emergency landing there, see the screenshots below.
Now I wonder if one of you wizards would like to make a base for the Cornwall Spaceport?
I am not good at making bases. A simple one would do, with the correct runway heading and a few buildings around, to make it better visible from a distance. As a licensed spaceport (at least thats what they say on their website) I guess it has a right to be in Orbiter.
Coming in after a 180° turn to shed off overspeed. The runway orientation is all wrong.
