Crew Dragon 2022 would be a nice new name for this addon
The replacement is here: Much nicer and some extra features:Totally up to you! If you have an updated version for the "Crew Dragon DM2", it would seem logical to do so.
If losing the old "Crew Dragon for Orbiter2016" is a major problem for you, we can keep it.
Hi,Looking forward to the 'Crew Dragon 2022'! I think this will be a good representation of the - still growing - fleet of Crew and Cargo Dragon capsules.

I did some manual high-speed rentries recently. Looking for the perfect periapsis aim-point (like 60 km) would be easier if a lift-drag behaviour would be in the documentation. Questions:
- Does the Crew Dragon (DM2) has an offset center of gravity, to provide some lift during rentry?
- Is this somehow modified with the 'Ballast' value?
- Which direction is 'up' for this lift? Is it towards the side hatch, or towards the crews' heads?
Well, I learned something today! Thanks.Thanks for the clarification! Apollo was different. They entered heads down, with the lift vector pointing towards their feet.
I guess the heads-down attitude was to allow an early view on the horizon, in the Apollo viewport layout.
You're welcome Don't worry, its intentional.Thanks for the Addon , but the left MFD of DM2-Panel is overlaid with HUD.
Hi,What would be the proper installation procedure for the updated version if one had both DM2 and Inspiration 4 installed beforehand? Since the folder names have changed, I imagine there's a risk of duuplication?
You're very welcome. Thanks for the RCS and suggestions.Thanks for the update! The accuracy of the reentry-autopilot is amazing!
Hi Marg,I understand this addon is for Orbiter2016. Because of the new atmosphere model I would like to have something for beta orbiter. Most addons do not work there.
