Where can I get that ship :D Does it come with solar sails ? Ones that look like these? :D --- OMP today: 1. Pugachev's Cobra at Mach 10 2. First OMP orbital flight of the DG-EX on approach to KHOU 3. DG-EX deorbiting under the sunrise near San Francisco airspace.

I would consult the Shuttle / ISS addon documentation. I believe I hit A or something to disable the autopilot when we had shuttles in multiplayer. As far as I know the AP is controlled in a scenario file which specifies target altitude or something.

No I'm only in Texas spiritually in my own dreamland Lol. I don't have a credit card for online purchases as I'm a lone abandoned stray kitten, well literally :3 Maybe next year. Lmao.

I'd like to do some designs but the problem is I have no way of purchasing them xD

Dear Schimz, thank you for developing such a great addon. It takes skill to bring this spaceplane to orbit in the most efficient manner and I'm enjoying every bit of it. I might do a repaint and a minor refit with RATO pack to boost it into orbit a wee bit quicker - right now my concern is the...

To JF287: Sample Norwich International terrain tile attached. You need to find out why the runway I put there doesn't appear.

Norwich tile in production, 80% complete.

Just be careful as the life support system is not working. If you overheat during re entry it can be difficult to bring it down in time under 10,000 ft and pop the cabin hatch for ventilation.

I had an XR5 shutting down over the Indonesian jungle and during the emergency VTOL landing attempt the crew died of hypoxia due to cabin hatch failure. The ship lost power totally but managed to set down intact and undamaged somehow. So re-entry scenario with limited oxygen, little fuel (maybe...

But to be fair the XRs as high performance SSTO spaceplanes don't really call for efficient gliding airfoils. The takeoff speed of an XR2 fully loaded and fuelled was something like 0.5 Mach today. It reminds me of those Tu154 supersonic airliners that don't have flaps for landing. The approach...

Or it has a manual reversal backup like A-10 :) If you use a HOTAS / joystick setup and program it by the Flybywire addon then the stick bypasses the XR subsystems completely. So you can still maneuver with the APU off and etc.

Instead of seeing more ships I would like to see addons created to support said XR fleet because there is still a lot of untapped potential. Why not replace the XR2's virtual cockpit texture to reskin or at least make the static panel more realistic? Add RATO pods to the XR5 to send it to...

Having 600 tons of cargo to land at the destination makes it even more fun. I just fly it in on auto descent with some hover thrust. I just imagine I am flying my house around from the front porch :D

Before we touch on that if we just disable "destructiveness" in the cfg file it should be fine I think.

Speaking of PAPIs I am starting to like them a lot. I'll just need to experiment to get it to display a correct 3 degree glideslope (it's set a bit too high now). Next update I'll either extend terrain coverage to Matagorda or towards the north of Houston to give some more eyecandy. There are...

Fort Pillow Lone Star Planet Need I say more? :3

Does anyone actually use ILS to land in Orbiter? I never got it to work anyway the HUD and surface MFD makes it easy to land. AirNav.com also doesn't give me the ILS frequencies to use on these bases.

Its like one of those things you read about in comic books. Amazingly entertaining exiting Earth orbit in this ship :D No fps issues on vistaboost. Works great. I accidentally hit the big red button when thrusting away from the ISS, vaporising the station. It's one of those cat on keyboard...

Wow, a nuclear propelled spaceship. Omg.

We have a new STOVL field at West Houston, by atomicdryad: If you have the AH-64 addon, thats the right place to fly them from! http://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?p=242842&postcount=56
