Scenario CSM/LM stack inside Shuttle cargo bay (AMSO)

[2552]

The "[ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3881"]CSM scenario pack[/ame]" addon doesn't have any actual CSM-based scenarios in it, but the screenshot on the OrbitHangar page gave me an idea. I used Universal Cargo Deck to put the Apollo CSM/LM stack inside the Space Shuttle cargo bay, and it fits almost perfectly . This should be too heavy to reach orbit (the CSM/LM's total mass is 45098kg, but wikipedia says the shuttle's LEO cargo capacity is only 24400kg) but for some reason I can put it into orbit easily, even though UCD is supposed to add the mass of the payload to the shuttle's mass (and it does do that).

but for some reason I can put it into orbit easily, even though UCD is supposed to add the mass of the payload to the shuttle's mass (and it does do that).

IIRC that's because UCD does not work properly with multi-stage vehicles.
