BrianJ, I've seen that during the boostback burn, the 1-3-1 engine sequence is used in which the center engine ignites first before the other two start up, and at the end, the center engine stays on for a couple seconds. However, SpaceX uses this same engine sequence for the reentry burn and...

Unfortunately, I don't see an Advanced button on the Video tab. Also, I only have Direct3D T&L HAL with AMD Radeon graphics.

I just downloaded the MFD, but I don't know how to use it properly. All I see is Custom Camera Interface Disabled.

Brian, I actually changed the coordinates of LC-39A (Strongback) to match the ones listed in the General SpaceX Map: https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1wvgFIPuOmI8da9EIB88tHo9vamo Instead of 28.608284 N, 80.6041192 W, I made it 28.6083065 N, 80.6041122 W.

While launching from LC-39A, when the water deluge starts at T-10 seconds, the spray seems to be not in line with the rainbirds. Is there a reason why this happens? The SLC-40 pad in Canaveral and SLC-4E pad in Vandenberg are okay, but this one is catching my eye every time.

If you download Kyle's SpaceX Mission Package, it includes an IRL layout of LZ-1. Should you download BrianJ's addon and then Kyle's addon, the latter's version will overwrite the former.

Kyle, when will the new update including SAOCOM 1A be released? ---------- Post added at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ---------- Yes; Mr. Steven is on its way to the recovery zone to catch one of the fairings.

BrianJ, any ideas when the Falcon Heavy addon will be updated? More specifically, with the Block 5 appearance and engines.

BrianJ, it appears that the Crew Access Arm to support manned Crew Dragon launches has been installed on Pad 39A. The arm is meant to swing 180 degrees away from the spacecraft prior to prop loading.

On the Iridium-NEXT F4 mission. The sats were headed to a 185 by 625 kilometer parking orbit inclined 86.66 degrees, and I made the first stage charred and expendable while the fairings were equipped with recovery hardware. Also, the F9 vehicle was in the Block 4 config. Per its estimated...

Brian, is it normal for the fairings to run out of RCS propellant before the parafoils deploy? I'm under the assumption that if it does happen, the fairings will have no way of gliding to the net.

Thanks, BrianJ. Adding the mass parameter saved me a bunch of time.

Several sources say that the total mass of TESS is 362 kilograms rather than 365 kilograms, and I'm working on changing the dry mass to match that number. However, I'm not an expert in Visual Studio. What's the easy way to figure this out?

You answered my question correctly, BrianJ. I just asked that because I was trying to recreate the SpaceX CRS-1 mission in October 2012, which also included an Orbcomm-OG2 satellite as a secondary payload. While I WAS able to attach the Orbcomm sat using the Block 5 addon, I cannot do that in...

Quick question, Brian: Is attaching payloads not available in the Block 4 addon? I don't see that option in the Launch Control Panel.

It appears that Mr. Steven has been upgraded to have a larger net on longer arms, so the Fairing Recovery Vessel might as well be updated.

One thing I'd like to suggest is for the Falcon Heavy addon: to recolor the rocket Block 5 style. If you want to leave it all white, I'm fine with it.

Quick question, Brian: Any idea when the next update for the Falcon 9 addon will be released? And also, what new features will be included in that update?

Quick question: is it possible to make SLC-2W which is only one launch pad compared to SLC-17's two pads?

Thank you so much for updating the Delta II for Orbiter 2016. What I like about this addon is the ability to input your own orbit parameters as well as let the autopilot do all the work up until SECO-1. This makes it look similar to the Falcon 9 addon.
