Working on an update that will include the new Better ISS addon.

Wow! This is great. Will be adding this to my SpaceX scenarios.

I thought it was awful personally, a significant stepdown from the movie & the book, but perhaps some may like it.

This would yield a liftoff thrust of 180-190 MN assuming the core stage would be throttled to a similar profile that Falcon Heavy is. Still nowhere near the beast that Sea Dragon was proposed to be (350 MN). I don't think this will ever happen. SpaceX has learned the lessons of FH and would...

That lease can and will easily be renewed. NASA isn't going to suddenly pull the rug out on SpaceX's only facility where they can presently launch their crew. If I had to guess, Starship HLS will launch from LC-39.

Starship LC-39A is 100% going to happen. Elon confirmed that recently. The SLC-40 stuff was just conjecture based on bad info, IMHO.

Yeah seeing a launch tower grab a booster is one of the most wild things I've honestly ever seen in this sim o_Oo_O

AMAZING work as always Brian!!

Inspiration4 with real-time TLEs for those wishing to track today.

I think they were asking about the Starlink mission launching tonight, which I've also included in the package.

Update with Inspiration4 textures now on OHM!

Fairing recovery is inline with the ASDS, implying no dogleg until after fairing sep.

Adding the Inspiration4 logo to Dragon as an optional texture for the next release.

Updated for Starlink Group 2 Mission 1! 51 Starlink v1.5 satellites. Initial launch inclination -67.00 degrees, dogleg after fairing separation to -70 manually.

Yup. Good catch. My only question is how many Starlinks will be onboard. 55-58 is my guess.

I figured it must. I can't imagine the draco engines would be good for the structural integrity of the cupola.

Updated for CRS-23 and Inspiration4. Inspiration4 requires BrianJ's Dragon Cupola addon: https://www.orbithangar.com/showAddon.php?id=5984ce18-4172-4736-bb2a-40655f8cd0ad We don't know a lot of details about Inspiration4's mission yet, so a lot of guesswork & I'll be updating as we get that...

The WDR really seems like an unnecessary step. Wish they'd remove the mass simulator & put Orion/LAS straight into a launch attempt and, should a problem arise, roll it back to the VAB. Else if no problems arise, proceed into terminal count. Reduces the steps to launch while reducing the amount...

Fun fact: Vantablack was actually used on some of the first-gen Starlink satellites to reduce its visible magnitude. Ran into the problems you described.

I have with a SCRAM ascent and very, very careful planning.
