Mmm....It seems to me that I am missing:

There are a few things still to be completed but is a great add-on.

I don't know if it's the most fuel-wise profile, but you can reach orbit easily keeping AOA of 5 degrees.

Yes the ship lighting dds files are missing.

And you got more than 1 scenario, you got a ship, which can be used in any scenario. I'm told that with just a tiny bit of work, it can be made compatible with the UCGO system.

Load the DGex scenario, move the DGex to a runway in position to takeoff, then do a quicksave. In that quicksave .scn file is the DGex ship entry. Copy that entire entry into another scn file, or even just a text file for "holding" (so you don't forget or have to repeat this process). With this cut and paste process you can put any ship you have into any scenario you have.

Your missing files are there ( from another version -061015- of the DGEX ):

http://ge.tt/2ELAFpu/v/0

You'll have to put the textures in the Textures/DeltaGliderEX folder.

 

[Locutus]

What this needs:

*better airbreathing engine simulation
*plasma engine adjustment for economy or performance
*UCGO and UMMU support
*nosecone and airbrake control on the top panel
*Life support simulation
*APU
*Added to the XR fleet as the XR7 Goliath (optional)
*Maybe make the airbreathing engines not work at all above atmosphere, requiring plasma engines at full performance to finish getting in orbit

This seems to work in 2016 (but it's still a BEAST! :lol.

However, it starts in the bushes a couple hundred feet west of the runway. Change the position in the .scn file to this:

POS -80.6824940 28.5967940

and it will work. (Note: The DG in the "Delta-glider > Virtual cockpit" scenario starts off in the same position; you can use the same fix!)

 

[Cizurator]

I'm trying to launch the scenario in Orbiter 2016, I tried even a clean installation only with OrbiterSound, but it always crashes on loading, right before the start of the simulation. On the 2015 BETA works fine. What could be wrong?

I'm trying to launch the scenario in Orbiter 2016, I tried even a clean installation only with OrbiterSound, but it always crashes on loading, right before the start of the simulation. On the 2015 BETA works fine. What could be wrong?

See my reply here: http://orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?p=541743&postcount=101
So I don't think there is really something wrong with your installation.
The CTD does not always occur, sometimes it does, sometimes it does not. I don't know why this hapens.
Just try to repeat starting it. Sometimes you'll have luck, sometimes not.

It's not a problem of the scenario, but a problem of the vessel, because all scenario's you create/save have this same problem.

Anyway, DeltaGliderEX is still a very interesting vessel, I really like it.
The idea of having a very energy efficient but very low thrust craft is what it makes so interesting. It makes flying with it a serious challenge.
This vessel really deserves further development!

 

[Cizurator]

You're right... it actually works, in some 50% cases. It's a great spaceplane, however, i'm missing a possibility of reentry with some reasonable AoA. The nose-down aerobraking feels a bit strange and violent...

I think,I remember there was a aerobrake mfd profile on OH for the DGEX that worked well,but it's been awhile since,I have looked.
