if you're gonna re-enter, use Glideslope MFD and just control bank , i managed it first time round, im sure you will be able to as well
also, why is the landing speed (i found its below 100) much lower than rotation speed (about 130-150)? i knew it would be slightly lower, but not that much

in fact, now youve reduced pitch trim alot, you may not be able to hold 40* AoA, even with full RCS, let us know how it goes![]()
well, i took too long to deorbit and found myself in a much steeped reentry than i had hoped for... missed target by a couple timezones... but i didn't give in, i let it climb back and took 'er for a curved descent... all worked out in the end...
and the reason for the landing speed being so much lower than vR, is most likely because more than half of the ship's takeoff mass got burned up during ascent
unlike airliners, most of the G42's takeoff weight is fuel, so you can expect that the spped differences between t/o and landing will be a lot greater than what we're used to from FSX and stuff :hmm:
