Yes, just need an attachment point to hang the mount and LauncherOne off. I had fun flying the Stargazer/Pegasus launches, and it'd be nice to fly the 747 out of Newquay. I don't know much about LauncherOne - it had a couple of successes I think. Anyhow, the 747 looks great (y)

Hi, SLC40 is working as usual for me. EDIT ************************************************************** Oh...wait a moment....there might be a mesh error on the new "crew tower" at SLC40. "Isolated vertices" in the mesh can cause random problems. It might be that. Back soon. EDIT2 Had a...

This is a strange bug. I tracked it down to the "EDL_Capsule" Status (Landed/Orbiting) not being updated during launch until detached from the launcher. Everything else (Dragonfly lander, Star48, etc.) seems fine. And it doesn't happen if you use the Falcon9/Heavy. I couldn't even stop the...

Hi, do you have AttachmentManager enabled in your modules tab. If yes, disable it. Brian

Yes. Enter the required inclination as negative, it should use the southerly launch azimuth. Brian

Thanks for testing. I'll look at the code again. It "should" be simple. Ha.

Ah! Very nice. I was wondering how the VC6L would perform. I did give it one try but was distracted by the same bug you mention - reentry particle stream during ascent. The custom reentry stream should only be activated once the EDL_Capsule is jettisoned(for this very reason), so not sure what...

Use default Orbiter graphics.

For the orange sky you probably just need the Titan.cfg and Cloud.tree. Give em a try.

I'm using default Orbiter graphics and the Titan Hi-Res package (inc. the Titan.cfg) here: http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/mirrors/orbiter_radio/tex_mirror.html#titan

If so, they can go with an expendable Falcon9+Star48. I see the post on NSF estimates launch mass to be 100kg less than mine, so maybe I'm not too far off on my guess. I must see how it fares on a Vulcan or AtlasV, also.

I just had a try at going direct to Saturn on the FalconHeavy - turns out you can do it with the FalconHeavy fully recoverable + Star48BV, launch date 02 July 2028, using IMFD for planning. 655kg propellant left in the Falcon upper stage. Maybe my guess of 1600kg all-up mass for TitanDragonfly...

I just saw some discussion on NSF that they might use an expendable FalconHeavy+Star48 to go direct to Titan, launching July 2028 - ZOOM! Must give it a try.

BrianJ submitted a new addon: Titan Dragonfly - Rotorcraft lander, EDL capsule, launch and post-launch scenarios. Read more about this addon...

NASA's mission to explore Titan. Includes Titan Dragonfly rotorcraft lander and its EDL Capsule/Cruise Stage. Launch scenarios for Falcon9+Star48BV or FalconHeavy, post-launch scenarios. TransX MFD planning included. Compatible with OrbiterSound. Launch scenarios require: Falcon9 for...

Update 240303 Fixed skin selection bug and wrong "extreme charred" texture. Oops! Sorry about that. The new .dll module and correct texture are included in the patch attached below. (If you don't want to download the whole thing again)

Fixed skin selection bug and wrong texture.

Update 240227 New .cfg file options...... NASA logo 1st and 2nd stage skins (by @Kyle, some adaptations by me) Specify custom fairing texture Recoverable fairings (fairings now passive, no parafoil, by default) And..... Crew Access Tower for SLC-40

Added options in .cfg file for: NASA logo skin Custom fairing texture Recoverable fairings (fairings now passive by default) Also: Added Crew Access Tower to SLC-40

Nova-C "Odysseus" landed succesfully (apparently not so succesful after all, still alive though) There seemed to be some communications trouble at first but looks like they sorted that out. I'm still waiting to see the pics from EagleCam! EDIT: No pics from EagleCam then :-(
