Here is a little something to help improve your lunar landings.
After the TLI, you have just entered the lunar SOI and you are in plane with Brighton Beach. Your goal is to perform a soft landing on a pad at the base.
Don't go through the crater walls or the main building and do not touch the lunar surface anywhere outside the pads.
Here is the base
Don't touch any of the brown/red areas.
A close-up. Land inside the green areas.
There is more than 200 m/s of extra dV for this task in your tanks.
Extract the attached zip file in your Orbiter directory, pick a ship from the Challenges\Lunar_Landing\ folder and land it.
You will find 5 different scenarios for these ships:
DG, DGIV, XR2, XR5, Shuttle-A
A lua script accompanies each scenario, checks if the goal has been met and returns you a score in m/s of used Delta V.
Post your score here, with a snapshot of the "Congratulations..." message. Don't forget to tell which ship you used. A video or a playback are always welcome.
I'll setup and maintain scoreboard for each ship at the bottom section of this post.
Have fun, safe landings.
NOTES: If you extract the files in an Orbiter installation that has my "So, you think you can land?" challenge, let it overwrite the 2 files in the main Orbiter directory.
The base with the crater will NOT affect any enhancements or changes you may have to your default Brighton Beach base, since the challenge is set on a custom solar system, identical to the default one.
*** Many thanks to blixel for giving me the idea and helping me test the scripts. :tiphat: ***

--edit: patch for Shuttle-A bug attached on this post. Unzip in your Orbiter directory and let it overwrite the SH.lua file, if you intend to fly this challenge with the Shuttle-A.
